Everyone on the FROW at Milan Fashion Week 2025 — from Ice Spice to David Beckham

Don’t sit down, don’t take a breath, don’t even think about closing your eyes, because Milan Fashion Week is here, hot off the heels of London and New York — and it’s already looking suitably starry.

On Friday, Ice Spice was front and centre for the MM6 Maison Margiela runway, wearing a semi-sheer sand coloured mini dress with baby pink, waist-length hair.

The Prada show on Thursday was a particularly cool affair, with attendees including Felicity Jones, Carey Mulligan, Peggy Gou, Sadie Sink, Emma Chamberlain and London band The XX, who are reuniting as a trio this year.

Earlier on Thursday, David Beckham was the main attraction Hugo Boss Womenswear. The former footballer has served as a co-designer at Boss since April 2024. For the occasion, he wore a chocolate brown corduroy suit with a black polo neck.

Alex Scott and her girlfriend Jess Glynne were also in attendance, as well as Aaron Pierre, Alica Schmidt, Josh Heuston, Corey Mylchreest and The White Lotus star Meghann Fahy.

Beckham’s foray into fashion follows in the footsteps of his wife, Victoria Beckham, who is scheduled to show her Spring/Summer 2026 collection in Paris this Friday.

Maxmara also showed on Thursday, with Euphoria actress Maude Apatow and German model Leonie Hanne spotted in the crowd.

On Wednesday, the main attraction was KNWLS. It featured a rare FROW appearance from Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon, who wore a grey knitted vest and black corset skirt with knee high leather boots.

Proceedings officially kicked off on Tuesday, with shows from Alberta Ferretti, Dhruv Kapoor and Diesel. But it was the Gucci event that (predictably) drew the biggest A-list crowd, with an impressive turnout for Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia’s first presentation for the Italian fashion house.

Before Gucci, Gvasalia was responsible for revitalising Balenciaga. While in this post he won numerous accolades, including International Ready-To-Wear Designer of the Year at The Fashion Awards 2016 and the CFDA’s International Award (for his work at both Balenciaga and Vetements) in 2017.

Demna and Gucci are two names destined to pull a crowd, if Milan Fashion Week wasn’t already celebrity-heavy enough. It was quite a diverse portfolio of A-listers, in terms of vibe. The FROW included Gwyneth Paltrow, Serena Williams, Edward Norton, Anna Wintour, Lila Moss, David Jonsson, Elliot Page and Alia Shawkat. We can only imagine the talking points.

The cool girl clubs of old Balenciaga shows re-emerged once more, with Alex Consani rubbing shoulders with fellow model Amelia Gray and Vogue beauty editor Tish Weinstock posing up a storm with Devon Lee Carlson and Princess Olympia of Greece.

Elsewhere on the Tuesday, Saweetie was spotted on the FROW at Dhruv Kapoor, and Diesel was praised for its odd use of staging, with models standing inside transparent eggs.
