Spring-Summer 2026 has made it clear: lingerie-inspired fashion isn’t going anywhere. Designers are turning pieces traditionally worn in private into statement-making ready-to-wear looks, proving that underwear can now be an essential part of everyday style, from streetwear to evening wear.

Milan set the tone with collections that blended lingerie elements with everyday dressing. Versace highlighted bold-colored denim and separates, while Dolce & Gabbana transformed striped pajama sets into chic women’s looks, pairing them with subtle lingerie-inspired details. The results were intimate yet wearable, striking the perfect balance for modern style.

In Paris, celebrities brought lingerie to the spotlight. Renée Zellweger wore a sheer black shirt under an oversized suit, subtly revealing lingerie layers, while Kylie Jenner paired a pink lace Valentino bodysuit with sheer floral-print tights. These looks made it clear that lingerie-inspired fashion is meant to be seen, not hidden.

Across the U.S., New York designers emphasized the versatility of lingerie-inspired fashion. Sheer fabrics, lace trims, and corset detailing turned traditionally private pieces into statement-making outerwear. This approach redefines what everyday dressing can look like.

Sheer Fabrics: Transparent materials layered in creative ways.

Corsetry: Structured designs that highlight the waist and shape.

Lace and Satin: Classic textures with a modern edge.

Underwear as Outerwear: Bringing intimate apparel into visible fashion.

SS26 shows that lingerie-inspired fashion is more than just a trend. It’s a functional, confident, and stylish part of modern dressing.

The Bottom Line

This season proves that lingerie is no longer confined to the bedroom. It’s central to contemporary American fashion, offering looks that are bold, wearable, and empowering. The lingerie trend is here to stay, and it’s stronger than ever.

Rabanne has appointed Olivier Rousteing as its new Creative Director, bringing one of fashion’s most influential designers to the French house as it enters its next creative chapter. Rousteing succeeds Julien Dossena, whose 13-year tenure helped redefine Rabanne for a contemporary audience while preserving the house’s signature spirit of innovation.

The appointment marks Rousteing’s return to a leading creative role after concluding a transformative 14-year run at Balmain, where he became one of the industry’s most recognisable designers. Appointed Creative Director at just 25, he reshaped the Parisian label through his bold creative vision, celebrity relationships and influential digital presence, turning Balmain into a global luxury brand.

Announcing the news, Rousteing described joining Rabanne as “a tremendous honour,” paying tribute to founder Paco Rabanne’s pioneering vision and acknowledging the creative foundation established by Dossena. He said he looks forward to building on the house’s rich heritage while contributing his own perspective to its future.

Founded in 1966 by Paco Rabanne, the maison earned international acclaim for challenging traditional fashion conventions through the use of unconventional materials including metal, plastic and chainmail. Over the decades, the brand has remained synonymous with experimentation, craftsmanship and a forward-looking design philosophy that continues to influence contemporary fashion.

Rousteing’s appointment comes at a pivotal moment for Rabanne. Under parent company Puig, the brand has become one of the group’s strongest global businesses, supported by blockbuster fragrance franchises including 1 Million, Invictus and Fame. The fashion house now enters its next phase with a renewed focus on strengthening the connection between its fashion identity and wider beauty business.

His debut collection for Rabanne is scheduled to be unveiled during Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, offering the first glimpse of how he intends to reinterpret one of France’s most distinctive fashion.

The move also adds another major development to luxury fashion’s ongoing wave of creative leadership changes. Rousteing brings with him a track record of blending heritage with contemporary culture, cultivating a global audience through both his runway collections and his influential presence beyond fashion.

As Rabanne prepares for its next chapter, attention will now turn to Paris Fashion Week in March 2027, where Rousteing will present his first collection for the house.

The heat wave in Paris might have been overwhelming, but it didn’t stop guests from bringing their best. Fashion on the streets mirrored what was happening on the runways, with guests wearing similar textures, shapes and details.

Haute Couture Week, which takes place twice a year, remains one of the most exclusive events in fashion, with only designers approved by the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode (FHCM) invited to present their collections. This season’s schedule included brands like Schiaparelli, Chanel, Dior, Viktor & Rolf, Iris Van Herpen, and Robert Wun, alongside newer additions like Standing Ground and Manish Malhotra. While some houses like Maison Margiela were absent, the week still delivered powerful presentations.

Throughout the week, designers unveiled collections filled with hand-stitched elements and bold textures. Gigi Hadid also made an impression on the runway in a black feather cocoon look, which offered a sense of ease in the middle of the heat.

But what happened outside the shows was just as interesting. Despite the hot temperatures, guests stepped out in variety of looks. From A-list names like Cynthia Erivo to Teyana Taylor, the streets of Paris turned into a second runway.

This week, Paris Couture Week for the Fall 2026 season officially kicked off, and on July 7, Chanel presented its latest collection at the Grand Palais in Paris, France. In his second haute couture presentation for the house, Matthieu Blazy drew inspiration from a storybook tied to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, using the brand’s own archives as inspiration.

On the runway, the collection was a mix of sheer fabrics, rich embroidery, and bejeweled finishes. There were also soft, whimsical elements, from pearl-covered pieces and butterfly-like details to bold floral designs and statement jewelry, giving the presentation a fairy tale feel.

The front row featured a number of familiar faces, including Pedro Pascal, Elizabeth Debicki, Alexa Demie, Teyana Taylor, and Sarah Pidgeon, each bringing their own take on Chanel dressing.
