While January often feels like the longest month of the year—as if we’ve somehow reached the 60th day already—there is plenty to love about it. Most notably, it marks the arrival of a fresh era in fashion with the start of the international Fashion Weeks. Paris Fashion Week Men's took centre stage from January 20th to 25th, and as we speak, the Spring 2026 Couture Week is set to follow between
January 26th and 29th.
As Amanda Krause aptly noted for Business Insider: “Naturally, some of the most eye-catching looks so far haven’t been spotted on the runway. Instead, they’re being worn by celebrities in the audience.” I’ve scoured the internet and curated the looks that truly caught my eye.
Interestingly, my top picks this season all happen to be guests from the Dior show.

Robert Pattinson

My favourite former vampire, Robert Pattinson, opted for an understated yet stylish ensemble from Dior. While I personally loved the relaxed, casual vibe—particularly the pairing of a classic tweed blazer over a red-checked button-up shirt—I found myself agreeing with Krause’s critique. It was a solid look, but I can’t help but think he would have looked even sharper in a pair of tailored black trousers and dress shoes rather than denim jeans. It is the Dior show, after all!
Joe Alwyn

Joe Alwyn, on the other hand, looked incredibly dapper in classic Dior tailoring. What really elevated this look for me were the finer details: that statement monogram belt and those impeccable leather shoes! I’m also a huge fan of the grey peacoat he chose — it’s a masterclass in timeless winter style.
Jamie Dornan

Jamie Dornan’s look is a total 'Marmite' moment; you either love it or you hate it. He’s opted for a rather dramatically cut cotton trench coat from Jonathan Anderson, which drapes almost like a cape. This bold silhouette contrasts nicely with the dark denim and brown suede shoes he’s wearing underneath. Some might get "Paddington Bear" vibes, but I reckon this is brilliant, boundary-pushing luxury outerwear from Dior.
Lewis Hamilton

F1 star Sir Lewis Hamilton arrived with serious "heir-apparent energy". He’s gone for a sharp, double-breasted tailcoat-style jacket with a subtle fur trim — a nod to the collection's Tolstoy-chic aesthetic. He paired this statement piece with incredibly wide-leg, tailored trousers and shiny patent leather lace-ups. It might be too much volume for some, but it absolutely shows his knack for pushing boundaries and taking risks that ultimately pay off.
Paul Hameline

Ah, Paul Hameline—model-turned-guest—really nailed the theatrical brief in this military-style coat. It’s got an almost 18th-century, Napoleonic vibe with all those gold buttons and contrast piping. He smartly grounded that inherently dramatic look with simple dark trousers and some chunky brown trainers, preventing it from looking like a costume and keeping it firmly in the realm of high fashion.
Yung Lean

Swedish rapper Yung Lean absolutely understood the assignment. I’m obsessed with this coat—it’s a seriously cool piece of luxury outerwear. It's incredibly voluminous, and while I usually prefer a sharper, tailored look on men, he has genuinely carried this off beautifully. The dramatic length and bold herringbone make an instant statement. He’s styled it perfectly with that mint-green and white striped tie, adding a playful pop of colour. This is how you do effortless, avant-garde style.
