Jonathan Anderson's Dior Debut Draws Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, TXT and Rihanna

JUST THE TICKET: Jonathan Anderson's debut at Dior was the hottest ticket in town — and that's saying something when temps are hitting the hundred-degree mark. There was rare AC in the venue; never mind that it was installed to protect the artworks on display in the museum-like set. But either way, it benefited the audience. Some stars have perfected the art of arriving 'fashionably' late (see Beyoncé Knowles-Carter at Louis Vuitton), Rihanna and A$AP Rocky among them. Their entrance caused a commotion when the doors reopened for the couple and sent guests into a frenzy. More from WWD Sabrina Carpenter Goes Classic in Pleated Skirt and Satin Peep-toe Louboutin Pumps Dior Homme's Spring 2026 Show Summer 2025 Fashion: City Escape Lauren Sánchez Has an Audrey Hepburn Style Moment on Her Wedding Day Robert Pattinson admitted he had a preview of the collection the day before the show. 'I've known Jonathan for years, so I'm really happy for him,' he said. Even though he's been to many shows, Pattinson, a Dior brand ambassador for 14 years, expressed his excitement for the energy surrounding fashion week. 'I love the entire process,' he added. Pattinson also shared that he'll begin shooting the next 'Batman' film next year. 'The costume is iconic,' he said, though he noted it wouldn't be making an appearance at fashion week. Instead, he praised Anderson's new collection. Many looks were anchored with Regency-style collars, cravats and capes, alongside modern knitwear and jeans. 'It's all super wearable, which is great and exciting,' Pattinson declared. Mike Feist was deep in discussion with Joe Alwyn and Alison Oliver. Turning the tables during a chat with WWD, Feist grabbed the mic and played reporter, asking Oliver what she thought of the show. 'I'm delighted and very warm, but I have no intention of taking this jacket off,' she said, referring to her Dior look adorned with military-style buttons. Feist, who previously told WWD in Cannes that he's 'not a fashion guy,' kept his look casual and was there to support Anderson. 'I'm a big fan of him. We're good friends,' he said. Currently taking a break from film to focus on writing a screenplay, Feist said that he's preparing to return to the stage in a new play. 'I'm feeling very Sgt. Pepper,' said Drew Starkey, referencing his military-inspired jacket. The British actor is another longtime friend of Anderson's. 'He's one of the hardest-working people I've ever met — and one of my favorite people. This is well deserved,' he said. Starkey recently wrapped 'Onslaught' with Rebecca Hall and Dan Stevens but remained completely tight-lipped about the project. Instead, he revealed that he flew in for the show during a quick break from filming the next season of 'Outer Banks' in South Carolina, where production will continue for seven months. He also had a front-row reunion with his 'Queer' costar Daniel Craig. Craig joked that he didn't have anything intelligent to say about fashion but was seen chatting with Soobin, Yeonjun, Beomgyu and Taehyun — four out of five members of Tomorrow x Together who attended the show (Heuningkai was absent). Craig asked about their recent tour, music-making and writing process before posing for photos with both the group and Pattinson. With Anderson's Dior debut being the hottest ticket in town, many fellow designers came out in support. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez, recently named as Anderson's successors at Loewe, were enthusiastic about being there. 'We're big fans of him,' Hernandez said. 'We have a lot of love for him.' The duo said they're settling in well. 'We're having so much fun. I don't know how else to describe it. Everything feels possible — it's a dream.' However, they admitted they're still adjusting to Paris. 'We're really just between the office and home, not going out much. We're focused on the job. September will be the big one,' Hernandez added of their upcoming debut at the other LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton-owned house. Donatella Versace, seated front row, was there for Anderson's big moment. 'For me, I'm so emotional because I worked with Jonathan when he was very young. We did the Versus show together,' she recalled of the 2013 collection. 'So, you know, I consider him like my little baby now.' The show also brought out fashion's best in class. Former Dior Homme artistic director Kris Van Assche, Courrèges' Nicolas Di Felice, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Rabanne's Julien Dossena, Jacquemus designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, newly-apponted Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli, Stefano Pilati, and Louis Vuitton Men's artistic director Pharrell Williams were just a few of the many notable creatives in the crowd.

Rihanna Puts a Chic Twist on Menswear in a Pistachio-Green Maternity Look at the Dior Show

THE RUNDOWN Rihanna and A$AP Rocky matched in cool tones at Jonathan Anderson's first Dior menswear show in Paris. Rihanna incorporated one of this season's trendiest colors, pistachio green, into her look. This marks the couple's first big appearance since they attended the Cannes Film Festival last month. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky brought their star power to Jonathan Anderson's first Dior menswear show in Paris today. The couple coordinated their looks, with Rihanna standing out in a white top, pistachio-green vest (one of the season's trendiest colors), gray slacks, and a long quilted jacket. The star and brand ambassador, who is expecting her third child with Rocky, wore her hair up and accessorized with sunglasses. Rocky, meanwhile, complemented her in a pastel-blue button-up top and a striped tie. This marks the couple's biggest joint appearance since they attended the Cannes Film Festival premiere of Rocky's film Highest 2 Lowest last month: Rihanna and Rocky announced they were expecting at the 2025 Met Gala, which Rocky co-chaired. Rihanna spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her pregnancy on the red carpet, saying, 'I'm good. I'm shockingly feeling okay and not too overwhelmed at the moment. I mean, at first, it was kind of like, 'Ahhh.''⁠ The couple has two sons: 3-year-old RZA and 1-year-old Riot, who will turn two on August 1. Rihanna discussed her kids' personalities in a Harper's Bazaar interview earlier this year. 'RZA is just an empath,' she said. 'He's so magical. He loves music. He loves melody. He loves books. He loves water. Bath time, swimming, pool, beach, anything. And Riot, he's just hilarious. When he wakes up, he starts to squeal, scream. Not in a crying way. He just wants to sing. And I'm like, 'Okay, here we go!' He's my alarm in the morning! He's not taking no for an answer from anyone. I don't know where he came from, dude,' she joked.

Capes, tailcoats and cravats: Dior gets its teeth into Dracula chic

For the last few days Dior's new creative director Jonathan Anderson has been dropping clues on social media about the contents of his first collection for the fabled French house. And the most eagerly awaited show of Paris Men's Fashion Week Friday certainly didn't disappoint, with a galaxy of stars descending on Les Invalides including "Bond" star Daniel Craig, Robert Pattinson, singer Sabrina Carpenter, tennis legend Roger Federer and K pop stars Mingyu and Beomgyu. A heavily pregnant Rihanna -- for whom Anderson has made several stage costumes -- also arrived fashionably late with her husband ASAP Rocky. Anderson had led fashion fans on a virtual version of Hansel and Gretel in the run up to the show, expertly teasing them with little peeks of what was in store for them when he finally lifted the curtain. They included a Dior Book Tote emblazoned with "Dracula" in blood-red letters in a nod to Dublin writer Bram Stoker. The gothic 19th-century inspiration was clear in the show, with capes, tailcoats and tweeds, waistcoats and Victorian high collars and cravats. - 'Obsessed' - "I've always been obsessed by Dracula," the designer told reporters. "I never realised when I was young that Bram Stoker was Irish and I used to walk past his house without knowing." The show opened with a male take on one of Christian Dior's most iconic dresses, La Cigale from 1952, which was in turn inspired by the decadence of the 18th-century French royal court at the Palace of Versailles. Anderson kept the aristocratic dandy theme going throughout the show, taking in Irish rakes and dashing English dukes, their dickie bows slightly askew after a long night on the tiles. He had posted two rather endearing videos of French football star Killian Mbappe before the show putting on a tie and trying -- and laughingly failing -- to knot a dickie bow. The designer said he saw some of the spirit of Christian Dior in the striker. - Mbappe's 'amazing smile' - "Mbappe has this amazing smile and a kindness to him," Anderson said. "Coming out of the war, the greatest attribute Dior had was empathy. That is quite rare in a couturier... (and yet) after the war he changed everything for everyone and for France." Anderson told reporters before the show that he did not want to throw out the baby with the bathwater after being given unprecedented free rein over the brand. "Some of my heroes, the greatest designers in history, have done Dior, and I don't want to be chopping it all down," he said. Rather he wanted to "decode and recode Dior without discarding all the great designers" who had worked for the label. Indeed, his "Dracula" and "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" Book Totes were a continuation of the "amazing bag" his predecessor Italian Maria Grazia Chiuri had done, he said. The mixing up of clothing codes also had something of the Haitian-American artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whom the designer had called an "epitome of style" in an Instagram post in the run-up to the show. Anderson's arrival at Dior had been flagged for months after he turned around the rather fusty Spanish label Loewe, which is also owned by the French luxury giant LVMH. Just weeks after he was named to head Dior Homme, he was also appointed creative director of the Dior's women's collections and its haute couture. - Changing of the guard - With the luxury sector's once bumper profits plummeting, Anderson's appointment is an attempt to renew the fashion house after nine years under Chiuri. It also comes amid a major changing of the guard, with Belgian Matthieu Blazy, 41, taking over French rivals Chanel and iconic fashion editor Anna Wintour saying Thursday that she was stepping away from American Vogue to move upstairs in its parent group Conde Nast. Anderson, the son of former Irish rugby captain Willie Anderson, said that change was maybe no bad thing. "The fashion industry is like a bonsai that might have gotten too big. We need to purify, to go back to what we like about it, which is making clothes," he told the French daily Le Figaro. Trained at the London School of Fashion, his first big break was landing a job in Prada's marketing department before launching his own brand, JW Anderson, in 2008. "I think he is one of the most gifted talents of his generation," said Alice Feillard, men's buyer at Galeries Lafayette, Europe's biggest department store group. "We saw what he achieved at Loewe -- a really remarkable and brilliant body of work." "There is something childlike yet very intellectual" about his collections, Adrien Communier, fashion editor for GQ France, told AFP. They are "very cheeky, very bold... and really intriguing", he added. mdv-fg/phz
