The Run-Through with Vogue

It’s mailbag time on The Run-Through! Chloe Malle and Chioma Nnadi are back once again to answer your delightful questions. But first, Chioma reports back from a whirlwind couture trip to Paris, where Jonathan Anderson staged an upside-down garden fantasy and Chanel delivered an Alice in Wonderland-inspired set complete with giant mushrooms. They discuss standout front-row moments (Rihanna! Jennifer Lawrence!), the new lightness in couture, and why some details only make sense IRL.
Back in New York, Chloe debriefs a major snowstorm, snow-boot styling, and awards-season buzz—from Grammys predictions to the BAFTAs. Plus, the Vogue Book Club reckons with the very un-romantic reality of Wuthering Heights.
In the mailbag: Is fur back? Do Vogue editors get clothing allowances? Biggest fashion splurges? How to make a simple outfit feel stylish and hot? The hosts also share career advice for breaking into fashion, and tell us which designer bags are currently in heavy rotation. Couture, culture, and closet confessions—consider this your chicest group chat.

Last week, the fashion world lost a giant. Valentino Garavani, the Roman couturier who launched his label in 1960, died at 93. Alessandro Michele, the Creative Director of the maison, recalled Valentino as “almost a mythical figure.”
Michele joined Nicole Phelps last year on The Run-Through for a formidable conversation about his new life chez Valentino, just ahead of his Haute Couture debut.  Michele previously spent 21 years at Gucci, the last eight as creative director, where his maximalist, egalitarian vision of beauty was culture-shifting.
He talks about his approach to creativity, why he styles his own collections, how he seeks and keeps joy in the world, and why he thinks “fashion can build a better, dreamy place.”
Plus, Paris Couture Week is in full swing! Nicole and Vogue’s Senior Beauty Editor (and The Run-Through regular) Margaux Anbouba share on-the-ground dispatches.

From sculptural updos, like those worn at the Golden Globes by KPop Demon Hunters singer EJAE, to the joyful, bright eye looks musician Zara Larsson has been embracing, exciting beauty trends are already emerging in 2026. With awards season just ramping up, Vogue beauty editors Margaux Anbouba and Arden Fanning Andrews joined Chioma on The Run-Through this week to share what they anticipate seeing on red carpets in the months ahead. 
When it comes to predictions, Arden is leaning into what she calls “romantic beauty”— soft makeup and windswept hair — inspired by the return of period dramas this year, including Wuthering Heights (don’t forget to join the book club!), Sense and Sensibility, set for release in September, and Netflix’s forthcoming Pride and Prejudice series. Margaux thinks we will be opting for “imperfect beauty,” meaning leaning into messier aesthetics online as a pushback against the rise of AI. Both editors (who happen to sport bobs themselves) once again said bobs are a trend to stay, even though they both plan to grow out their hair this year.
Earlier in the episode, Vogue Business U.S. editor Maddie Schulz breaks down what’s really going on behind the Saks Fifth Avenue bankruptcy and what fashion’s “reset” may actually look like. Plus, Chloe and Chioma share their takes on the menswear shows so far and reflect on the passing of the legendary Valentino Garavani.

We’re right in the middle of the Fall/Winter 2026 Menswear shows in Milan and Paris, so it’s only right that GQ’s Global Fashion Correspondent Samuel Hine joins us on The Run-Through!
Sam is a fixture on the menswear scene and writes the popular GQ newsletter Show Notes.. He shared all the trends, red carpet looks and shows he’s most excited about just before heading to Milan.
Other highlights on the Milan schedule include Prada, Zegna and Armani. Plus, 2025 LVMH Prize Winner Soshi Otsuki and designer Shinya Kozuka, who showed at Pitti Uomo in Florence.
The Menswear shows coincide with several major awards shows, and there have already been lots of looks that went from the runway to the red carpet this year. With the Oscars and Grammys coming up, we’re sure to see more runway looks on our favorite celebs.
In Paris, all eyes are once again on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior.
Hine told Phelps he expects to see a continued exploration of the “preppy classicism" we saw in Anderson’s Dior Men’s debut in June.
Another milestone of the Fall Menswear shows will be Véronique Nichanian’s final show for Hermès after 37 years as artistic director.
Hine said he is keeping a close eye on which shows the Heated Rivalry guys end up attending – Hudson Williams opening DSquared2 was major!
He also shared a bit about what’s coming next for GQ now that Will Welch, Global Editorial Director at GQ, announced he’s leaving the magazine on February 15th, and hinted at what to expect from this year’s GQ Bowl.

Fresh off a flight from LA, Vogue’s cover star, Amanda Seyfried is back in New York and on The Run Through to talk about award season!
“I will say my favorite part … was being at the A24 party at the Chateau,” says Seyfried reflecting on the Golden Globes that happened Sunday evening.  “I was just on the couch with a bunch of people that I like and don't ever see except at award shows.” 
Seyfried says she was surprised when a conversation in the Golden Globes ballroom with Jennifer Lawrence was picked up by cameras. “There are still moments when I forget that people are watching it,” says Seyfried. “It was a little bit unnerving when I saw that because I just believed, I guess, stupidly that it was a private conversation.” 
Seyfried was a two-time nominee at the ceremony for her roles in the Testament on Ann Lee and the television series Long Bright River. With award season in full swing, she’s been working closely with her stylist Elizabeth Stewart to make sure she is red carpet ready. 
“We've been wearing a lot of Prada and we decided to wear a Versace [to the Golden Globes], which is always trusted and beautiful and classic as well. 
Away from Hollywood, Seyfried’s wardrobe is much more casual as she cares for 52 animals on her farm upstate. “I'll wear the big tall muck boots,” says Seyfried. “The ones you can't drive a car in 'cause your foot can't reach the pedal.” Her animals include peacocks, chickens, goats, horses, donkeys and a new rescue rabbit named Bugsy that is a bit stand-offish. “He could be 37 years-old.” says Seyfried. “ I have absolutely no idea. He's got a droopy wet eye. But he's very nice it seems.” 
 In The Testament of Ann Lee directed by Mona Fastvold, Seyfried plays the titular character who is credited with creating the Shaker religious community in the mid-18th century. “The Shakers worshiped through song and dance,” says Seyfried on the challenge of undertaking the role as their leader.
“The singing had to be second nature.” says Seyfried on her performance. “But with singing, I've always been judging myself as I've been doing it. Even in Les Mis, I wasn't present the way I was. So I had to let go of that very early on. And the key to that was she's human and I need to feel it. It's not about how it sounds. It's about how it feels. And I need the audience to become a Shaker for two and a half hours.”
While promoting the film, Seyfried’s 8 year-old daughter Nina was introduced to one of her mother’s earlier roles in the cult classic Mean Girls. 

“She said that she didn't think it was that funny,” recalls Seyfried. “but she really loved my role. That was Nina's critique of Mean Girls at age eight.”
