South African actress Thuso Mbedu brought her style and personality to Paris as she attended the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week.
The actress was among the guests at Louis Vuitton’s high-profile runway presentation on 6 October 2026, which closed out Paris Fashion Week. The event showcased the fashion house’s Women’s Spring-Summer 2027 Ready-to-Wear collection, presented at the Cour Carrée du Louvre at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.
For the occasion, Mbedu opted for a playful yet striking look that immediately caught attention. She wore a pink geometric zipped-up checkered-print mini dress, pairing the statement outfit with black boots. Her hair was styled in a sleek, high ponytail, giving her overall look a stunning finish.
Mbedu’s appearance at the event was not only about fashion, as the actress also took part in a fun “What’s in my bag?” Q&A as a guest at the Louis Vuitton show.
During the light-hearted segment, Mbedu revealed that there was not much inside her handbag. Instead of carrying a bag filled with the usual essentials, the actress admitted that it was almost completely empty.
“It’s actually very empty right now, I will have to say it’s my invite for tonight. That’ll be my invite because it’s so empty.”
Aside from her invitation to the highly anticipated fashion event, Mbedu revealed that she only had her phone with her. Her surprisingly minimal handbag contents added a humorous moment to her appearance and gave fans a glimpse of her more relaxed side away from the red carpet.
The Louis Vuitton presentation featured the creative vision of Nicolas Ghesquière, the fashion house’s artistic director for women’s collections. With the Louvre serving as the backdrop, the event brought together major names from the worlds of fashion and entertainment.
For Mbedu, her appearance in Paris offered another stylish fashion moment while placing the South African actress among the international guests attending one of fashion’s most closely watched events.
