The sun always shines on Zendaya, a woman so radiant that she looks lit from within. Happily for guests at the Louis Vuitton show in Paris yesterday, it shone on everyone else as well.
Despite the unfeasibly mild weather, the star of Dune, 29, was dressed snugly in a short metallic silver coat dress decorated with a shaggy cream shearling collar and cuffs.Â
She finished the look with a sky high pair of silver stilettos that hinted that her limo likely wasn’t parked too far away.
After several seasons dominated by maxi skirts and midi skirts, if the guests at Louis Vuitton are anything to go by, hemlines will be rising very sharply very soon.Â
Game Of Thrones star Sophie Turner, 29, was also in a mini skirt, worn with a wide-shouldered leather jacket, sheer black tights and slouchy leather boots.
Former Bond girl and until recently Tom Cruise’s regular plus one, Ana de Armas, 37, also got the memo, and wore a black monogrammed ‘LV’ sweatshirt, black knee-high boots and a black box-pleat mini.
Not to be left out, Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor, 30, joined the mini movement in a short brocade coat dress worn with brown knee-high boots.
Longtime Vuitton brand ambassadors actresses Jennifer Connelly, 54, Stacy Martin, 35, and Lea Seydoux, 40, also opted for sporty hemlines, as did model Natalia Vodianova, 43, whose husband is Antoine Arnault, son of LVMH owner Bernard Arnault.

One guest who was seemingly not in the ‘shall we get our legs out today, girls?’ group chat was Emma Stone, 36, who bucked the trend by wearing a cream rib-knit tube dress with a matching shrug.Â
Other guests eschewing the mini included actress Ava DuVernay, 53, and France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron, 72.
Paradoxically, it was these guests who were more in sync with what was happening on the catwalk, where nary a mini was to be seen.
For spring/summer 2026, creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere was in a whimsical mood, and showed bubble skirts, peplums and demoiselle gowns that drew on historical references but were rendered modern by his capable hands.Â
Next season, it seems hemlines can fall anywhere you want them to.
