Gillian Anderson made headlines during Paris Fashion Week as she walked the runway for Miu Miu's Autumn/Winter show, joining a star-studded line-up that included Chloë Sevigny, Kristen McMenamy, Yeonjun, and Gemma Ward. The show, which served as the unofficial finale of Paris Fashion Week, also featured a celebrity front row with Little Simz, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Alexa Chung.
The collection blended tailored pieces, such as exaggerated high-waisted blazers, with girlhood-esque mini dresses, leathers, and shell jackets. The show notes emphasised 'the smallness of our human bodies, in the vastness of our world,' with garments embracing the body and prioritising 'purity, simplicity'. Despite the grown-up feel, the collection retained Miuccia Prada's playful touch with 18 sequinned shearling trapper hats. Anderson closed the show in a sequin-embellished shift dress.
Beyond her runway appearance, Anderson has taken on a new role as Chief Compliments Officer (CCO) for Marks & Spencer. In this position, she aims to spread joy to shoppers and staff. 'A simple compliment can genuinely boost confidence and change how someone feels all day, so as CCO, I'm here to help make those moments more commonplace,' she said. The role adds to her already busy schedule of acting, writing, activism, and running the soft drink brand G Spot.
Anderson's fashion influence continues to grow, recalling her iconic visible-thong moment at the 2001 Academy Awards. Her dual roles as Miu Miu muse and M&S CCO cement her status as fashion's favourite it-girl once again.
