September had a busy red carpet schedule, from the Emmys to the MTV VMAs and movie premieres in London and New York. The month also had Fashion Week in cities like New York, Milan and Paris, gathering many familiar faces to the front rows and streets of each city.

During one of the red carpet appearances, Colman Domingo showed that men’s red carpet dressing does not always have to follow the traditional black suit and tie formula. Elsewhere, celebrities like Lisa and Taylor Swift played with sheer details at the side, creating the illusion of a smaller waist. Others went for dramatic ball gowns and bold textures.

Here are some of the best-dressed celebrities of September.

Elle Fanning attended the Coach Spring 2027 show in New York on September 9, where the house celebrated its 85th anniversary. She wore a fuzzy cheetah-print coat over a black blouse, which was unbuttoned to reveal her lacy bra underneath, and paired it with a bright red pencil skirt. She accessorized with a tilted black beret and black pumps. Her entire outfit was from Coach’s Resort 2027 collection.

At the 2026 Emmy Awards on September 14, Zendaya wore a custom Prada gown covered in crystals and beads. The nude-toned tulle dress featured a plunging V-neckline and sheer sections that gave the gown a barely-there effect while the embellishments provided coverage. She paired the look with Mikimoto pearls and diamonds.

Colman Domingo took a different route from the traditional black tuxedo at the 2026 Emmy Awards. He posed on the red carpet in a custom Valentino look consisting of a brown jacket with a Mandarin collar worn over a coral-colored shirt and cream trousers. A bright fuchsia sash was wrapped around his waist and secured with a diamond brooch, while his jewelry and Omega watch added another detail to the outfit.

Mia Goth attended Dior’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris on September 29 wearing a black Dior dress with an asymmetrical neckline and gathered draping through the bodice and waist. The skirt had a white lace layer beneath the hem. She paired the dress with a beige Dior top-handle bag.

Miranda Kerr returned to the runway on September 30, walking in Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week. The appearance marked the Australian model’s first runway show since 2017, when she walked at Moschino’s Spring/Summer 2018 Menswear and Women’s Resort show in Los Angeles.

For her return, Kerr wore a seafoam green jersey gown with sculptural shoulders and cutouts through the midriff and back. The dress featured a knotted detail at the waist, with gathered fabric falling into a long, ruched skirt.

The back continued the cutout design, with ruching across the upper back and a large opening extending toward the tailbone. She paired the gown with metallic silver one-toe stiletto sandals and a small silver clutch.

Kerr wore her long brown hair in a braid down her back, with a dewy complexion and soft pink lipstick.

The Stella McCartney show marked Kerr’s third appearance on the designer’s runway. She previously walked for McCartney in October 2011 and September 2013.

Before returning to the catwalk, Kerr’s most recent runway appearance came at Moschino’s show at Milk Studios in Los Angeles on June 8, 2017. The appearance took place shortly after her May 2017 wedding to Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel.

Kerr became one of the most recognisable models of the 2000s and 2010s, including through her work with Victoria’s Secret. She later moved into other areas of her career, including founding beauty company Kora Organics.

She was joined on the Stella McCartney runway by fellow former Victoria’s Secret Angel Karlie Kloss and model Amber Valletta. Jennifer Lopez was among the guests at the show.

The Spring/Summer 2027 collection incorporated ocean-inspired elements and marine references, with Kerr’s seafoam green gown fitting within that palette while contrasting its fluid construction with structured shoulders and cutout details.

Kerr, 43, is a mother of four. She shares her eldest son, Flynn, 15, with former husband Orlando Bloom, and has three sons, Hart, 7, Miles, 6, and Pierre, 2, with Spiegel.

Her appearance at Stella McCartney’s Paris show brings her back to the runway after a nine-year absence, with the designer marking another chapter in a professional relationship that began more than a decade ago.

Paris Fashion Week has officially begun, bringing the Spring/Summer 2027 fashion month to its final stop after New York, London and Milan. The French capital is hosting its shows from September 28 to October 6, with some of the biggest names in fashion, music and Hollywood arriving to take their seats in the front row.

The week opened with Julie Kegels, the winner of this year’s LVMH Prize, on Monday, September 28. Later that evening, the Matières Fécales show took place at Place de la République. Rihanna was among the stars spotted at the show, arriving in a gold two-piece look.
