Hermès’ Fall – In Bel Air, Hermès staged its Fall 2026 “Chapter Two” show with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Natasha Lyonne, and Miley Cyrus in the audience as Nadège Vanhée delivered a red-carpet-leaning wardrobe. The same week, Ermenegildo Zegna turned the Malibu Pier into a Spring
When the first golden-hour light hit the Bel Air hilltop above the Hotel Bel-Air, the stakes for Hermès felt obvious: this was glamour meant for a Hollywood spotlight as much as a fashion one.
Hermès brought its Fall 2026 women’s collection. “Chapter Two. ” to the cinematic vantage point on June 04. 2026. and even the logistics sounded like part of the show—long waits for golf carts and shuttles. before the pavilion structure finally rose over the course of a month. The set was painted in golden-hour yellow—jaune flave—and staged a softer vision of ready-to-wear.
In the front row, Julia Louis-Dreyfus sat close to Melinda French Gates. Natasha Lyonne slid in at the very last minute. Miley Cyrus shimmied in her seat to the finale song “Bette Davis Eyes.” The runway was crowded with recognizable energy. but it was Nadège Vanhée’s direction that anchored the evening.
Vanhée. Hermès women’s artistic designer. showed what she called—through her clothes—her most glamorous collection to date. It also felt distinctly L.A. since 2024. when Hermès began taking its women’s RTW collection on the road with stops in New York and Shanghai. before bringing this latest chapter to Los Angeles.
This time, Vanhée centered the dress. A strapless duchesse satin design looked engineered for the red carpet. It arrived in multiple colors, including rouge tango, modeled by Karen Elson. Each look was styled with matching satin evening boots that read like the start of a trend rather than a one-off styling choice.
The night kept building toward “glam nights” with fluid gowns in velvet. or scattered with starry embroidery. plus jewel-tone silk coats and suiting. Dance-inspired ideas also threaded through the show—rehearsal-wear silhouettes with side-tie details and groovy sparkly-knit jumpsuits with flared legs. Even when the inspiration leaned into movement, the familiar Hermès weight of craft stayed in place.
Leather, long a signature, didn’t disappear—it just got reimagined with a lighter touch. Buttery blousons layered over sensual velvet dresses, for example, and Western-detailed, boxy zip-front jackets came with matching shorts for a rock ’n’ roll kind of California clarity.
The timing mattered, too. Hermès underscored the reality that the U.S. even while the industry navigates a slowdown. remains a key market for luxury brands. The show landed after L.A. destination presentations from Dior at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and Gucci and Louis Vuitton in New York in the last few weeks.
And the celebrity optics weren’t subtle. Several stars have already been signaling where Hermès is headed on the dressing chart: director Chloé Zhao wore a Spring 2026 Hermès bodycon dress at Cannes last month; actor Toheeb Jimoh chose a sleek pinstriped Spring 2026 Hermès men’s suit for a screening of “Sheep in the Box” at Cannes; and Miley Cyrus donned a glossy black Hermès coat at the iHeartRadio Music Awards back in March. With that runway precedent, Hermès seems ready to keep pushing deeper into Hollywood dressing.
Attention is already turning to what comes next in menswear as well. British designer Grace Wales Bonner will take the reins and is set to make history as the first Black woman to lead a major European fashion house, with her first show scheduled for January 2027.
On Friday night, that same Los Angeles weekbook energy moved across the coast to Malibu, where Ermenegildo Zegna turned the Malibu Pier into a runway for its Spring/Summer 2027 show on June 05, 2026.
Silver-haired style setter Stellan Skarsgård sat among the crowd. along with Oscar-winning composer Ludwig Göransson. Rami Malek. Mahershala Ali. Paul Dano. and many more from the Hollywood set. Instead of traditional seating, guests sat in beach chairs for a parade of luxe leisurewear from Italian designer Alessandro Sartori.
Sartori’s starting point was villeggiatura—the idea of escaping, truly escaping, to the seaside for the summer season. The collection leaned into relaxed refinement rather than theatrics: soft tailoring and stripes sat at the center. with shirt jackets. safari jackets. duster coats. and beachy cardigans layered over shorts. Terry-cloth pullovers and color-blocked windbreakers added more overt nautical references. while blazers with adjustable belts and shirts with interchangeable collars underlined the clothes’ functional ease.
The palette ran surf-and-sand, and the mood stayed light—without sliding into palm-tree-and-surfboard clichés. Sartori described the intent plainly: “I wanted to express a Zegna take on summer,” he said. “Our vision of leisure dressing is rooted in a cultivated attitude and a discerning gaze that is profoundly Italian. yet open to the world.”.
