On October 1, 2025, acclaimed actress Laura Dern, 58, made her highly anticipated runway debut at Paris Fashion Week. Dern was the first to hit the catwalk, opening the Gabriela Hearst show with a floral ensemble that was a true work of art.
Dern's dress was embellished with hundreds of cream floral appliques, featuring an elegant scoop neckline and a long skirt that nearly touched the floor. Letting the dress speak for itself, Dern opted for a minimalist look, with her blonde locks tousled and parted down the center.
This marked a significant milestone for Dern, who has a history of wearing Hearst's designs, notably for her first-ever Met Gala appearance in 2017. Over the years, she has collaborated with the designer for various award show-related events and red carpets.
Dern's runway debut comes just a few weeks after she attended New York Fashion Week with her 20-year-old daughter, Jaya. Dern's 24-year-old son, Ellery Walker Harper, also made his runway debut in 2018, walking for Calvin Klein during New York Fashion Week.
