Actress Sarah Paulson made her runway debut at age 50, walking in Miu Miu’s Fall/Winter 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week. Known for her role in American Horror Story and her high-profile marriage to actress Holland Taylor, Paulson’s appearance on the catwalk surprised many, adding a unique highlight to the final day of Fashion Week.
Paulson wore an off-the-shoulder satin button-up dress that was unbuttoned just enough to reveal a white bra beneath. Completing the look, she wore knee-high socks, a black bucket hat, and green snakeskin high heels.
“I’m obsessed with Mrs. Prada and I’m obsessed with the Miu Miu brand, so it just was like the biggest honor of my life,” Paulson told i_d. She jokingly downplayed the experience, saying, “It’s not a big deal, you guys. It’s totally fine. It was a very relaxing experience. I wasn’t at all nervous… This is a joke.”

Paulson and Bird were joined by supermodel Gigi Hadid, actress Nicole Kidman, and Keith Urban’s daughter Sunday Rose, who at just 16 years old, made her runway debut. Other notable models included The Brutalist actress Raffey Cassidy and BlacKkKlansman star Laura Harrier.
The audience for Miu Miu’s show was equally star-studded, with Euphoria actress Sydney Sweeney sitting in the front row. Also in attendance were A$AP Rocky, Alix Earle, Emma Corrin, and Joey King, adding to the celebrity-filled atmosphere.
Paulson’s appearance on the runway was an exciting milestone for both the actress and her fans. With increasing representation of queer stars in mainstream media and fashion, Paulson’s debut offers a glimpse into a future where more LGBTQ+ icons may find their place on the catwalk.
Fans are hopeful that this won’t be Paulson’s last appearance in fashion, as her style and influence continue to inspire both her peers and audiences. The addition of more lesbian representation in the fashion industry is a step forward for visibility, and it’s clear that Paulson’s runway debut was just the beginning.
