Paris Fashion Week is one of my favourite times of year—and not solely for the runway shows. Of course, there’s a thrill in watching Jonathan Anderson’s latest creations glide down the runway, but for me, the real inspiration happens outside of the show. The street style set weaving between the city, the celebrity arrivals spilling onto cobbled pavements—this is where I derive most of my styling inspiration.

Right on cue, Kate Moss emerged in Paris for a whirlwind of fashion week appearances wearing an outfit that stopped me mid-scroll. Forgoing her trusty denim, she opted instead for a breezy throw-on dress, styled with a pair of heeled lace-up ankle boots.

A gentle nod to the promise of spring, Moss’s calf-grazing dress came in a rich shade of blue, scattered with painterly purple and white florals. A drawstring waist softly cinched, whilst delicate button fastenings, and an easy A-line cut brought a casual elegance.
