Over the last several Paris Fashion Weeks, the Loewe front row has morphed into a gallery of offbeat Hollywood hotshots, many of whom have acted in the films of Italian director Luca Guadagnino. The star-making filmmaker is a friend and frequent collaborator of the label’s designer Jonathan Anderson, and he typically accompanies his actors—such as Bones and All’s Timothée Chalamet and Taylor Russell or Challengers’s Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist—in their seats along the runway.
Now it’s time for ex-Bond Daniel Craig and buzzy newcomer Drew Starkey, the stars of Guadagnino’s upcoming film Queer, to join their ranks. (Once again, Anderson costumed the movie.) Both actors suited up in the French capital for Friday’s Loewe show, but it was a loosened-up Craig—who recently sported some healthy stubble in a Loewe campaign—and his wife Rachel Weisz who really put the team on their backs.

Craig, his silvery chin-length shag swept back, wore a colorful knit jumper with a leather bomber jacket, voluminous olive-green cargo parachute pants, tan suede boots, and round yellow-tinted shades. Weisz, in a marginally less jaunty ensemble, chose a color-blocked mohair sweater in baby pink and Brat green, swoopy horseshoe jeans, wonky-heeled leather pumps, and dark cat-eye sunglasses.
Craig and Weisz appeared, as my colleague Yang-Yi Goh noted, like someone’s rich aunt and uncle who attend Burning Man every year—and, I’d add, certainly have a killer art collection hanging on the walls of their Marin County mansion. (That little handkerchief tied around Craig’s neck would be perfect for those dusty days on the playa.) On Instagram, fashion writer Liana Satenstein likened them to a couple shopping at the Park Slope Co-op. Or, as Twitter oracle Bald Ann Dowd put it, they looked like Troye Sivan and Charli XCX at the Sweat Tour reunion in 2074. As far as fantasies go, none of those sound half bad, though perhaps none seem as glamorous as the actual lives of the famous Hollywood actors Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz.
