If there is one thing we can bank on during Paris Couture Week, it’s that the lobby of the Ritz Paris is the ultimate runway before the actual runway. While the rest of us might prioritize “airplane comfort,” Kate Moss has other plans. The supermodel, who turned 52 earlier this month, was recently spotted gliding through the Place Vendôme landmark, officially confirming what the French set already knew: Fluid, loose-fitting trousers have officially dethroned jeans.
Checking into the city’s hardest-to-book hotel requires a certain level of sartorial respect, and Moss delivered a masterclass in “model-off-duty” 2.0. Showcasing her effortless style, she skipped rigid denim in favor of a pair of black, wide-leg trousers that draped with editorial perfection. She leaned into the “more is more” philosophy of a fashion week arrival, carrying two black leather handbags and layering a statement black furry coat that added a rich, tactile dimension to the monochrome look.
The finishing touch? A long, dagger-shaped pendant and a pair of classic gold hoop earrings that caught the light of the Ritz’s crystal chandeliers. Why does it work? Unlike jeans, which can lean too casual against the hotel’s gold-leafed opulence, these loose-fitting trousers offer a sophisticated silhouette that moves with you.
If you’re looking to upgrade your travel uniform for 2026, take a cue from the queen of the Ritz Paris. Leave the denim in your suitcase and embrace soft, wide-leg trousers. It’s the chicest way to say J’ai arrivé.
