Paul McCartney attends the 2024 Stella McCartney fashion show in Paris

Last updated on August 5, 2024

On this day, Paul and Nancy McCartney joined the Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2024-2025 fashion show in Paris. The event was also attended by Ringo Starr and his wife Barbara Bach, along with Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris Jackson, and Paul McCartney’s other children, Mary and James McCartney.


From people.com, March 4, 2024:

As a daughter of pop royalty, Paris Jackson is no stranger to being surrounded by music legends — and Paris Fashion Week is no exception!

At Stella McCartney’s Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024-2025 show on Monday, the singer-songwriter and daughter of Michael Jackson sat in the front row, where she was flanked by not one, but two Beatles.

On her left sat drummer-songwriter Ringo Starr, and on her right sat Paul McCartney — the father of the fashion designer, the King of Pop’s sometime collaborator and one of Paris’ biggest musical inspirations.

In a photo of the trio — which Paris shared on her Instagram Story — both Paul, 81, and Paris, 25, smiled softly at the camera, while Starr, 83, grinned widely and flashed his signature peace sign. […]

And the Stella McCartney show was not only a meetup of musical icons, it was also a family affair!

Backstage at the Paris Fashion Week event, Paul snapped a pic with his fashion designer daughter, wife Nancy McCartney and daughter Mary McCartney. The family was also joined by Starr and his wife of over 40 years, Barbara Bach.

Stella, 52, threw up a peace sign along with Starr and Bach, 76, as the two Beatles’ families stood side-by-side. […]

It seems like you and Paul are spending more time together lately.

If he comes to LA we certainly do something, and when I get to England we’ll do something there. It’s just what we do. We went to Paris together (in March) for Stella McCartney’s clothing line. But really we went there for the lunch. (Laughs.) But no, really, we were hanging out. We went by train and were all sitting in the same carriage. We had a good time.

From The Winter 2024 runway show | Stella McCartney:

It’s About F*cking Time: Our Winter 2024 runway show

Stella McCartney’s Winter 2024 runway show was a powerful message from Mother Earth. Presented in a glasshouse at Parc André Citroën, the beauty of nature served as the background – crisp blue skies, endless sunshine and urban greenery.

Both a collection and an advocation, the Winter 2024 show began with a manifesto read by celebrated Oscar-winning actors Olivia Colman and Helen Mirren, mouthed by the lips of eco activists and displayed on sustainable screens crafted from recycled and sustainable materials.

Focusing on the foundations we are celebrated for, our inspiration began with an activist and voice for Mother Earth — Stella McCartney herself. Pulling from her personal archive, life and design DNA, we curated a wardrobe of iconic pieces free from leather, feathers, fur and exotic skins – 90% of which are crafted from responsible materials. This Is a wardrobe of pieces Stella loves to wear; a return to the essence of our classic woman, with exaggerated proportions, elevated textures and Earth-friendly innovations flooded the runway.

Inspired by the Winter 2024 manifesto, a limited-edition edit centred around the collections lips motif is available to shop fresh off the runway – symbolic of womanhood, sensuality and activism. The lips also serve as a cheeky allusion to Stella’s role as a voice of Mother Earth.

With the collection inspired by Stella and her life, it was only natural that the front row include her father Paul McCartney, sister Mary McCartney, brother James McCartney and ‘Uncle’ Ringo Starr. Other guests included M.I.A., Naomie Harris, Paris Jackson, Jameela Jamil, Ashley Graham, Charlotte Rampling, Derek Blasberg and Kai Isaiah Jamal, whose lips were featured in the opening manifesto.

Winter 2024 revisits established silhouettes and elevates them with an antithetical twist – the uptight meets the bourgeois, sensibility is fused with comfort and overt sexiness confronts the reserved.

Referencing Linda McCartney’s wardrobe, padding brings strong shapes to women’s drape-sleeved dresses and gowns with dramatic trains, while strong-shouldered polo shirts are united with bodysuits woven from responsibly sourced wool. […]
