Olivia Colman and Jamie Bell Star in Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week Show
Oscar winner Olivia Colman and actor Jamie Bell led an all-star cast on the runway for Miu Miu's SS27 show in Paris.
Olivia Colman and Jamie Bell walked the runway at Miu Miu's Paris Fashion Week show. The Oscar-winning British actor, aged 52, made a surprise appearance wearing a V-neck sweater and a black leather skirt-suit. Jamie Bell, making his runway debut, joined a line-up that included fellow actors Noah Jupe, Igby Rigney, Katherine Waterston, and Emma Corrin. Supermodel Gigi Hadid also took to the catwalk.
The show took place on October 4, 2026, inside the Palais d’Iena. The venue featured bleachers resembling those at a swimming pool or high-school gymnasium. Front row guests included actors Emma Mackey and Becky Armstrong, along with presenters Amelia Dimoldenberg and Alexa Chung, and influencers Nara Smith and Ella Bright.
Sporty librarian aesthetic defines collection
The Miu Miu Spring 2027 collection was presented by Miuccia Prada with a sporty librarian theme. Tartan skirts, plaid blazers, and trainers defined the look. The collection mixed school uniforms with athletic wear, creating a business casual style designed to avoid corporate formality.
Blazers were worn over tiny tops. Pussy-bow blouses were left open at the chest. Silk scarves were threaded through waistbands or tied around bare stomachs. V-necks and scooped necklines were common, often cut low to expose another layer underneath. Wraparound halternecks in lime, orange and yellow polka dots were twisted around the body.
The palette spanned brown, burgundy, navy, grey, cobalt blue, royal purple, orange and acidic green. The collection had a 70s flavour with geometric patterns and patent brown leather. It also incorporated 90s and 00s elements like track jackets, running shoes, and low waistlines.
Key pieces across the collection included:
Men's looks, as worn by Jamie Bell, included sporty long-sleeved tops with checked or wooly trousers. Miuccia Prada stated her intention was to 'bring elegance to sports'. She mentioned the collection was about fashion rather than deep societal thoughts.
Venue and timing details
The show occurred at the Palais d'Iéna during the final days of the SS27 Paris Fashion Week season. Only three days of the schedule remained on October 4, 2026. Miu Miu, founded by Miuccia Prada in 1993 as a more playful counterpart to Prada, moved its runway shows from Milan to Paris in 2006.
The presentation closed with Miuccia Prada herself appearing at the end of the show. She wore a blue V-neck jumper and a midi skirt, waving to the audience before disappearing backstage. Stylists noted the collection's versatile blazer could be worn for work, the gym, or a party. As one attendee put it, "It's Miu Miu day!"
