Et voilà, the fashion calendar has finally landed in its natural habitat: Paris. The undisputed capital of style, where couture heritage meets cutting-edge innovation, never fails to meet the sky-high expectations of the industry’s elite. After all, this is where fashion was born, where artistry, identity, and elegance intertwine.
While we’ve spotlighted standout houses individually (see our reports on Saint Laurent, Dior, Tom Ford, and Chanel), this time we turn our gaze to what truly matters chez Pretavoir: the sunglasses. From front-row icons to runway statements, eyewear took on its own narrative during Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027.

Chloé, 1 October 2026
Held at the Paris Observatory, Chloé presented The Obsession Collection, marking Chemena Kamali's fourth main runway collection for the French fashion house. There are, of course, already rumours that she could be heading to Saint Laurent should Anthony Vaccarello depart, but for now, her focus is firmly on Chloé.
As always, it was an explosion of bohemian romanticism and dreamy, divine femininity. Think cottagecore, as social media would call it today, with eyelet lace woven throughout the collection. Among the more interesting propositions were harnesses reimagined as lingerie (the good-girl kind, naturally) and a range of draped raincoats paired with matching asymmetrical hats.
After earlier shows during Paris Fashion Week this season that offered little in the way of eyewear, Chloé was a welcome delight, serving up a handful of fresh ideas for the seasons ahead. Oversized frames and aviators, familiar Chloé signatures, were certainly present. However, it was the mini hexagonal sunglasses and geometric designs, finished with crystal detailing and maximalist chain straps, that truly stole the show. Consider them the finishing touches that need no introduction.
The celebrity guests were equally keen to give the house's latest eyewear a moment in the spotlight:
French actress Noée Abita wore the silver Chloé CH0409O 003 optical glasses from the Autumn/Winter 2026 collection, available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Cynthia Erivo, Natasha Lyonne and Lou Doillon each opted for the Chloé CH0414S round sunglasses, choosing a different colourway. The new styles are available to pre-order by contacting the Pretavoir team.
Balenciaga, 1 October 2026
Held at the Tennis Club de Paris, Balenciaga presented Les Coraux de la Liberté (The Corals of Freedom), a collection by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli that also marked his final outing for the maison after just 16 months at the helm. The runway featured a striking central textile sculpture by Aude Franjou, reminiscent of delicate coral fronds, setting the scene for a collection that looked both to the house's heritage and beyond.
The ready-to-wear collection explored the idea of haute couture not merely as a methodology, but as an ideology. Having started out as a couture house, Balenciaga revisited its roots through what Piccioli described as 'everyday couture': a wardrobe in which techniques originating from the 55th Balenciaga Couture collection were translated into everyday, utilitarian staples. In other words, couture craftsmanship was no longer reserved for the grand occasion.
While the clothes drew on the maison's past, Balenciaga Eyewear looked decidedly towards the future, continuing the boundary-pushing approach that has made the line such a standout in recent seasons. Shield and visor sunglasses were the protagonists, with one particularly intriguing design dubbed the Bow Mask Sunglasses. Its conventional temples were replaced by artisan-braided arms, giving the futuristic silhouette an unexpected handcrafted finish. A little less everyday, perhaps, but very Balenciaga.
The celebrity guests were quick to showcase the maison's latest eyewear, with appearances from:
Lori Harvey wore the black Balenciaga BB0345S 001 square sunglasses, distinguished by subtle logo lettering across the top of the nose bridge and on the right temple.
Kaya Scodelario wore black Balenciaga BB0510S 001 Nova sunglasses, a new release for Autumn/Winter 2026 that is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Lola Tung paired her red leather jacket with black Balenciaga BB0457S 001 Sunset D-Frame wraparound sunglasses.
Gemma Chan opted for the new Balenciaga BB0503S 001 Diva Butterfly sunglasses in black.
Shailene Woodley chose the sleek Balenciaga BB0402S 001 Neo Oval 2.0 sunglasses in black.
Isabel Marant, 1 October 2026
A welcome dose of summer escapism, Isabel Marant's latest collection took its cues from the 1960s work of British photographer Sam Haskins. Known for his distinctive visual language, Haskins captured women in sunlit, softly blurred compositions, layering movement, texture and natural sensuality to create images that felt both spontaneous and effortlessly alluring.
Set against the serene gardens of the Palais Royal, the show marked creative director Kim Bekker's third main collection for the house. Rather than leaning into Isabel Marant's familiar rock-'n'-roll attitude, Bekker explored a softer side of the label, embracing an easy-going bohemian spirit through relaxed silhouettes and understated femininity. The styling played with contrasts, pairing substantial hardware and wide belts against loose shirts and flowing dresses. Relaxed capri trousers also made a welcome return, adding another nostalgic note to the collection.
Unfortunately, there were no new eyewear designs presented on the runway this season. Still, a couple of celebrity guests clearly understood the assignment, bringing their own Isabel Marant frames along for the occasion:
Natasha Lyonne wore the Isabel Marant IM 0288/S RHL/IR sunglasses, featuring a distinctive half-moon silhouette with a gold brow bar that extends seamlessly into the temples. This new style is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Fashion industry insider Caro Daur wore black and gold Isabel Marant IM 0281/S I46/GB aviator sunglasses featuring grey-blue gradient lenses; another new Autumn/Winter 2026 release that is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Loewe, 2 October 2026
Held within the historic Château de Vincennes, Loewe presented its latest collection, marking the third main outing by co-creative directors Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for the Spanish maison. Their vision brought together an intriguing dialogue, blending Loewe's Spanish heritage and the grandeur of traditional Baroque influences with the easy practicality of American sportswear.
Preppy dressing was given a decidedly Loewe twist, with plaid, sports coats and sweaters layered over shirts in punchy colour combinations, including that unmistakable shade of yellow the house has championed over recent seasons. Sculptural silhouettes also made an appearance, from balloon miniskirts to more experimental shapes. Meanwhile, the maison's celebrated craftsmanship took centre stage through a collaboration with Loewe Craft Prize finalist Cécile Feilchenfeldt. Intricate glass beadwork transformed pieces into striped designs reminiscent of wet beach towels, while sweatshirts received an all-over finish of delicate seed-bead embroidery.
One detail that particularly caught our eye was an iridescent collar made from plasticised fabrics, which seemed to offer a playful preview of the season's Loewe sunglasses. The new designs feature a cat-eye silhouette in either lustrous gradient finishes or matte tones, both paired with mirror lenses. Echoing the collar's reflective quality, these frames offered a clever visual link between the collection's clothing and accessories. And, as part of a joint menswear and womenswear presentation, their appeal was decidedly unisex.
Now, let's take a closer look at the celebrities who arrived wearing the season's favourite Loewe eyewear:
Lesley Manville, who has appeared in several Loewe campaigns, and Laetitia Casta twinned in the black Loewe Coil LW40204I 01A sunglasses.
Givenchy, 2 October 2026
“I wanted a sense of balance and clarity. A wardrobe to bring precision and simplicity to dressing as we speed through the multiple perspectives and perpetual motion of all our lives,” said creative director Sarah Burton.
Construction, tailoring and architectural precision formed the foundations of Sarah Burton's latest vision for Givenchy. Designed with the modern woman in mind, the collection explored the art of balancing practicality with personality. These were clothes for women who move effortlessly between the demands of the working day and the glamour of an evening gala, without feeling the need to tone down their individuality. Sharp tailoring and considered silhouettes provided the structure, while more expressive details from embroideries to fringes and sharp shoulder pads did the talking. Among the standout creations was a white jersey gown suspended from looping, wing-like arabesques of brass wire and gilded frames, bringing an unexpected sculptural quality to eveningwear.
Completing the looks, Givenchy Eyewear carried this same design language through a series of bold mask sunglasses. Available in both rounded and angular interpretations, the frames balanced statement-making proportions with the maison's signature blend of modern elegance and refined craftsmanship.
And naturally, the front row offered a glimpse of how these new-season designs translate beyond the runway. Here are the celebrities spotted wearing Givenchy's latest sunglasses:
Jodie Comer wore the Givenchy Bold GV40145U 01A oval sunglasses in black featuring gold temples and decorated hinges.
Yang Zi opted for the black Givenchy City GV40142I 01A sunglasses, a new release for Autumn/Winter 2026.
Anson Boon was seen wearing black Givenchy Day GV40146U 01V square sunglasses, another new season release that is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
CELINE, 3 October 2026
Set within the leafy courtyard of the Archives Nationales, Michael Rider presented his fourth collection for CELINE, exploring the idea of positive obsession. The mood was one of spirited elegance, where heightened emotions met an easy-going attitude and dressing became as much about movement and personality as it was about the clothes themselves. Whether getting dressed up, escaping the city or deliberately rocking the boat, the collection celebrated a wardrobe with room for a little unpredictability.
The styling was all about making contrasts work. High-low dressing took the lead, with crisp white suits thrown over graphic concert T-shirts, while statement accessories added just the right amount of attitude. It was polished without being precious, and a reminder that elegance needn't always take itself too seriously.
Plenty of looks came complete with sunglasses, and we're certainly not complaining! Under Rider's direction, CELINE Eyewear embraced a similarly effortless attitude. Round metal frames with colourful tinted lenses and classic black acetate designs complemented the collection's relaxed approach to dressing, allowing the clothes and accessories to work together without competing for attention. The familiar Triomphe logo took something of a back seat this season, with one notable exception: a dramatic, almost extraterrestrial-looking rimless visor that certainly knew how to make an entrance. And, judging by its striking silhouette, it was just as memorable on the way out.
Compared with some of the more extravagant front rows this season, CELINE's celebrity guests kept things refreshingly chic, with considered outfits and accessories that echoed the maison's understated runway ethos. No need for excessive theatrics when a well-chosen frame can do all the talking. Sometimes, less really does leave a longer-lasting impression.
DJ Honey Dijon wore the CELINE Triomphe Mini CL40353U 01A sunglasses in black.
Hong Kong actor Tony Leung Ka-fai wore the celebrity-favoured CELINE CL40232 sunglasses in black, a style that has been since discontinued. Next to him was Chinese actress Liu Shishi, wearing CELINE Triomphe Mini CL40353U 01A.
Tracee Ellis Ross wore the CELINE Metal CL40346U 32E round sunglasses in gold featuring brown lenses.
Meanwhile, Emily Hampshire wore another version of CELINE Metal CL40346U 32A round sunglasses that feature grey lenses. Both frames are available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Miu Miu, 4 October 2026
Titled Here and Now and conceptualised by Miuccia Prada, the Miu Miu Spring/Summer 2027 fashion show was presented at the Palais d'Iéna. The central idea was one of recontextualisation, taking elements traditionally associated with beauty, refinement and elegance and applying them to the everyday pieces that define the modern wardrobe. As the official release put it, the collection was driven by “an ambition to do better”, bringing a thoughtful perspective to the way we dress and the clothes we choose to keep.
That philosophy translated into an intriguing mix of casual athletic staples and high-fashion styling. Sports bras were embellished with crystals, athleisure tops were paired with tailored blazers, and boxer shorts found an unexpected companion in cosy knitwear. Who knew everyday essentials could look quite so chic? Miu Miu also revisited its love of pop-inspired dressing, introducing bold geometric prints with a distinctly retro feel, alongside striking combinations of macro and micro patterns. Suede was another standout material, intentionally laminated with wax to create a cracked, aged finish. It was a considered nod to the collection's wider ideas of repurposing and reuse, giving familiar materials a new lease of life.
Turning to eyewear, one silhouette in particular set the tone for Miu Miu's Spring collection: curved, bug-like frames presented in playful colour combinations. Unapologetically bold and full of personality, these are statement sunglasses that only the Miu Miu girls could make their own. But before we take a closer look at the new designs, let's see which celebrities arrived at the show wearing the season's Miu Miu eyewear.
Ella Bright, star of Off Campus, wore the tortoiseshell Miu Miu MU C01S 14L4I0 Ciel sunglasses, finished with pink lenses. A new release for Autumn/Winter 2026, this frame is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Camille Razat, star of Emily in Paris, opted for the black version of the new Miu Miu MU C01S 16K80Q Ciel sunglasses.
Japanese singer Momo Hirai, member of K-pop girl group TWICE, chose the pale gold Miu Miu MU C53S 27T10W oversized optical glasses.
Tina Kunakey wore the white Miu Miu MU C06SU 21D90X wraparound sunglasses, complete with orange lenses.
Joey King and Nicole Sahebi both opted for the Miu Miu MU C06SU 22N51A wraparound sunglasses in blue.
Valentino, 4 October 2026
Titled Antibiblioteca, Valentino's latest collection unfolded inside the historic Bibliothèque Sainte-Geneviève, marking Alessandro Michele's fourth main collection for the Italian maison. The concept challenged the increasingly digital nature of modern life, celebrating human touch, the pleasure of physical objects and, rather unexpectedly, unread books. Michele drew inspiration from the idea of an 'antilibrary', where books sit untouched on shelves, using them as a metaphor for clothes that remain unworn in our wardrobes. A rather thought-provoking reminder that sometimes, the things we own are just as full of possibility as the things we have yet to discover.
As expected from Michele, however, there was little in the way of library-like restraint on the runway. Instead, the collection delivered his signature high-octane styling, pairing avant-garde tailoring with whimsical dressing and plenty of theatrical flair. A little bit of everything, perhaps, but somehow it all came together under Michele's creative vision.
The upcoming Valentino Eyewear collection proved just as eccentric, if not even more adventurous. Colourful acetate frames met tinted lenses and distinctive side shields, some extending into matching tinted panels that evoked the look of glacier-style sunglasses, albeit with considerably less concern for practicality. For those favouring a safer, more timeless approach, black square acetate frames finished with gold brow bars offered a welcome alternative.
Now, let's take a look at the Valentino-clad celebrities who arrived wearing the maison's latest eyewear:
Having been spotted in Valentino on several recent occasions, including during the promotion of All's Fair Season 2, it came as little surprise to see Naomi Watts sitting front row. She paired her preppy ensemble with the black Valentino VG0052S 001 square sunglasses, finished with signature gold V-logo detailing.
Zoey Deutch wore one of the season's most coveted frames, the black Valentino La Coureuse VG0044S 001 sunglasses, adorned with Art Deco-inspired gold beads and crystal embellishments.
Mika Abdalla, star of Off Campus, and Cai Xukun wore tortoise Valentino VG0072S 001 square sunglasses with green lenses. This newly released style is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
Joe Alwyn opted for the Valentino VG0047S 001 slim, rectangular sunglasses in black. Another new release that is now available to purchase at Pretavoir.
