At Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 show on 6 October 2026, Saoirse Ronan leaned into what she describes to British Vogue as her 'denim, knitwear and earthy' style. And, it is a surprisingly fitting description for someone attending one of the biggest events on the fashion calendar.
While the city's shows are often accompanied by dramatic silhouettes, statement accessories and meticulously styled celebrity looks, Ronan appears considerably more interested in wearing clothes that actually feel like her. She may have arrived in Paris for Louis Vuitton, but she did not exactly arrive dressed for the fashion circus.
Ronan, who became a Louis Vuitton ambassador in 2024 January, has regularly appeared in Nicolas Ghesquière's front row. Yet rather than completely reinventing herself for each appearance, she has settled into a wardrobe that prioritises comfort and familiarity.
A Different Kind Of Front Row Dressing
Paris Fashion Week is rarely short on spectacle, with dramatic silhouettes, statement accessories and meticulously styled looks competing for attention outside the shows. Ronan, however, seems to have little interest in wearing clothes that fit the circus.
At Louis Vuitton, she wore an autumnal retro-fit jumper with a leather panelled miniskirt. It was polished enough for the Louvre, but far more grounded than the often highly constructed looks seen around Paris Fashion Week.
Ronan has described her personal style as 'denim, knitwear and earthy', adding that knitwear is a particular favourite when she is at home in Ireland or Scotland. That sense of familiarity seems to follow her to Paris, making her look feel less like a fashion-week costume and more like an extension of her own wardrobe.
The Person Behind The Look
There is something particularly appealing about Ronan's approach to fashion week. She is perfectly capable of participating in the spectacle — she simply does not seem desperate to disappear into it.
British Vogue's conversation with Ronan also offered a glimpse into her more down-to-earth approach to fashion week. Speaking to the publication, she said she feels most comfortable in the clothes she wears at home in Ireland or Scotland, particularly knitwear.
She also talked about texting Lily Collins for advice on where to go in Paris, visiting Merci for knitwear and carrying dog poo bags among her essentials. And to further show her down-to-earth personality, Ronan even joked about borrowing husband Jack Lowden's jumpers, while he apparently borrows her baseball caps.
Fans Have Their Say
As expected, Ronan's Louis Vuitton look did not pass unnoticed online, with fashion fans weighing in on the unexpected combination. The reaction was mixed, with some praising the actor's understated approach and others questioning whether the jumper and leather skirt quite worked together.
Several fans appeared to appreciate the individual pieces, particularly the retro feel of the knitwear, even if they were less convinced by the full styling. One commenter summed up the dilemma: 'I love both the top and skirt but not together.'

Others were more forgiving of the unconventional pairing, arguing that its slightly unexpected quality was part of its charm. After all, Ronan was never trying to deliver the most obvious front-row look. The outfit's ability to spark debate arguably makes it more memorable than another perfectly polished celebrity ensemble.
And while online opinion may be divided, the discussion reinforces what makes Ronan's approach in fashion more interesting. It shows that she is not necessarily dressing to satisfy every fashion critic — she is leaning into the earthy, comfortable aesthetic she has already identified as her own.
For Ronan, that means bringing a little of Ireland and Scotland's cosy, grounded sensibility to one of fashion's most extravagant weeks. And frankly, after all the spectacle, a good jumper might be exactly what Paris needs.
