Fendi has a way of pulling a front row that feels as global as it is glamorous, and their Spring 2026 show during Milan Fashion Week was no exception. Actors, singers, and ambassadors lined the runway, each one interpreting the brand’s codes in their own way. Some went playful, some went moody, and others left me scratching my head.

Moody Perfection

In the front row, Bang Chan debuted his new platinum-blonde hair, giving his Fendi ensemble an even sleeker, sharper edge. A lace shirt, leather-felt coat, and wide trousers created a darkly romantic vibe, perfectly balanced with chunky boots and a sleek clutch.

Spring Fever

Front row looks usually lean Fall since that’s the season in stores right now, but Hilary Duff said: absolutely not. Her Fendi mint skirt, red top, and pink accessories radiated joys of spring. It’s playful, it’s vibrant, and it’s Hilary at her most approachable. Whoever styled this deserves a round of applause. Actually, make that a standing ovation.

Minimalist Cool

Grey is not my colour, but I love Naomi Watts’s Fendi look as the tailoring mirrors her understated elegance. The oversized proportions feel modern yet effortless, while the sharp sunglasses and classic Fendi bag add sophistication—perfectly in tune with her polished, minimalist red carpet identity.

Retro Pop

Playful, flirty, and bursting with energy—Isabela Merced’s Fendi pink mini with yellow accents felt like pure fun. The lime green bag pushed it even further into playful, retro territory. Her hair completed the mood, proving she knows how to have fun with fashion.

Meh

After dazzling in Fendi sequins at Venice Film Festival, Shailene Woodley’s Milan look fell flat. The one redeeming factor? A rich chocolate Fendi Peekaboo bag and statement earrings. Sometimes accessories really do all the heavy lifting.

Copper Repeat

Chinese actress Tang Yan recycled the Fendi Fall 2025 copper suit we saw on Noomi Rapace, and I’m not mad about it. Sometimes a strong look deserves a second life, and here, the refresh came with the styling choices.

Leather Authority

Ren Meguro was magnetic in head-to-toe brown leather. Tonal, sleek, and unapologetically confident, it cemented his status as a perfect Fendi ambassador.

Autumn Glow

Haruna Kawaguchi leaned into earthy tones with embellished knits and a striped skirt. I hesitated at the black boots, but they make sense with the stripes. This was cosy autumn dressing with a luxury twist.

Parachute Landing

Matilda De Angelis’ Fendi look stumped me. A navy satin dress with toggles that screamed parachute vest, oversized shades that overwhelmed, but a great bag and shoes. Sadly, it didn’t pull together the way it could have.

Dark Romance

Vicky Luengo’s Fendi look brought a moody elegance to the front row in sculpted black dress with subtle ruffles. I love how the structured mini bag that gave it a sharp, modern kick.
