Paris Fashion Week is now underway - and we're ready for some fashion escapism. Last week at Milan, aside from a whole load of new street style inspiration to add to your outfit mood boards and beautiful new autumn/winter 2022 collections to bookmark for September, it was Euphoria's brilliant cast continued to win our hearts.
Sure, we work hard but the VIP list for the Saint Laurent Fall '22 show works harder. Nestled in with Victoria Beckham, Demi Moore and Riz Ahmed was of course some of our favourite Euphoria cast members. Saint Laurent stan Maude Apatow shone like the star she is in a rose print catsuit and sharp bob while Dominic Fike and Jacob Elordi, AKA Elliot and Nate, gave us a lesson in all-black outfits.

Back in Milan, Bottega Veneta unveiled a brand new AW22 collection, the first with Matthieu Blazy at the helm. Blazy, who had been Daniel Lee's right hand man at the brand, had some large shoes to fill following the success of Lee's 'New Bottega'.
And we weren't disappointed, with a collection of perfect tank tops, thigh high boots and plenty of sumptuous Bottega bags for us to get stuck into. And of course, a major fashion show would no longer be complete without attendance from a Euphoria alumni. This time it was Jacob Elordi's turn, who sat FROW for the collection sporting a rather lovely padded Bottega Cassette bag and lollipop. The essentials.
Hunter Schafer, AKA Jules, who closed Prada, stole the show in white tank top, sheer skirt and slicked-back hair. Meanwhile on the front show, Storm Reid, who plays Gia, watched her cast-mate wearing an egg yolk yellow shirt dress with caged sandals. We predict many more catwalk appearances for Schafer, who also walked at New York Fashion Week's Gogo Graham.
Elsewhere, Chloe Cherry is fast becoming fashion's golden girl, walking for GCDS in a diamanté encrusted LBD. It was just her second runway show after making her catwalk debut at Blumarine. Known for its '00s nostalgia, the show was of course complete with diamanté-encrusted belts, micro-minis and corsage-decorated pearl chokers.
Throughout London Fashion Week, Cherry sat front row at Fashion East, Supriya Lele and David Koma. Each appearance, of course, was accompanied by an iconic outfit. My personal favourite included the sunset-hued full look from Chet Lo, complete with a violet bag sprouting his signature spikes. She also carried the affordable handbag that basically every celebrity has been spotted with of late.
Man of the moment, Angus Cloud, who captured the hearts of the planet as Fez, is having a sartorial coming of age, it would seem. Wearing a shearling jacket and polo neck to Coach, Cloud sat front row, nestled in-between none other than Megan Thee Stallion and Rina Sawayama (no biggie) before cracking open a bag of Cheetos. As if we didn't love him enough already.
Another of our favourite NYFW moments (maybe of all time) is 'Fexi'. Appearing at Thom Browne, wearing the designer's too-cool-for-school checks, Cloud and Maude Apatow, Euphoria's Lexi, gave us all a lesson in co-ordinating outfits with your significant other. Yes, we know they aren't together but we're manifesting it.
Of course, we can't not mention the one and only Zendaya. Stepping out with her boyfriend Tom Holland - maybe you've heard of him? - to see a screening of his latest film, the couple demonstrated the sheer power of really great hair. As always, Zendaya looked phenomenal wearing a belted oversized shirt and 10 denier tights, the ultimate cool-girl outfit if there ever was one.
Going from strength to strength in the couple dressing style stakes, we can't wait for their next outing. In the meantime, I will try (and not succeed) to copy this belt knot.
