Japanese actress Moeka Hoshi and Nicolas Ghesquière’s Louis Vuitton are a winning combination if we’ve ever seen one. Back in February, the breakout star of FX’s hit drama Shōgun wore a custom look from the brand—a red crêpe jersey trompe l’œil gown with a draped cape—to the Critics Choice Awards, where she picked up the award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Later that month, at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, she shined in another custom LV look, a stunning silk-satin embroidered bustier gown, and took home the award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series. In March, she marked her first Paris Fashion Week, attending the brand’s fall 2025 show wearing a sportier combination of a zip-up track jacket and tweed-style trousers. A Hoshi x LV moment is not to be missed!
The actress returned to the City of Light earlier this week for Louis Vuitton’s spring 2026 show, in which Ghesquière explored the comfort of home and the luxury of dressing for oneself. Returning to the Louvre, this time at the intimate summer apartments of Anne d’Autriche, Queen of France from 1615 to 1643, Ghesquière presented an amalgamation of indoor and outdoor dressing, taking inspiration from interiors. From the gauzy camisole robe with black piping that opened the show to cozy yet artfully embellished knitwear and beaded fringe pant-and-top sets, the collection was a master class in craftsmanship.
Before Hoshi took her front-row seat alongside the likes of Emma Stone, Zendaya, and Lisa, she invited Who What Wear to follow along as she got ready for the big show.
Talk to me about your look from the Louis Vuitton show. Who or what were you channeling?
I chose a light and airy look with a bright tone to match a daytime show with a sense of movement. I imagined the dreamy atmosphere of the Louvre Museum with the sunlight streaming in.
How would you describe the look in three words?
Dreamy, playful, and inner strength.
In what ways does this look speak to you and your personal style?
The dress itself is very sweet, but with black leather accents on the shoulders, bag, and boots, it mixes contrasting elements. I feel this represents both the delicate and the strong sides of my personality.
Take me behind the direction you wanted to take for your hair and makeup.
The dress had beautiful pale-blue jewels, so I matched them with light-blue eye shadow. Since the look already had edgy leather details, I wanted to balance it with an airy, soft hairstyle to keep the overall feel from becoming too strong.
Do you have any preshow rituals or traditions?
I spend extra time on moisturizing and stretching before shows.
What was playing in the background while you got ready? Is there a song or artist that is a must on your getting-ready playlist these days?
Since arriving in Paris, I’ve been listening to ballet music—Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty. Chappell Roan is a favorite!
What were you anticipating from Nicolas Ghesquière’s next collection for LV?
I was excited to see what theme would unfold. Both the direction and the designs always go beyond my imagination, so I couldn’t wait.
Louis Vuitton always has a star-studded front row. Who were you most excited to see, and why?
I was especially looking forward to seeing Chase Infiniti. We became friends at the March show in Paris, so I was very happy to meet again.
What Louis Vuitton piece(s) do you currently have your eye on?
At the special exhibition at headquarters, I was once again struck by how beautiful the trunks are.
Are there any favorite LV pieces currently in your closet?
In my own collection, I treasure a hairpin from the Takashi Murakami collaboration and a scarf from the Grace Coddington collaboration.
When you’re in Paris, what are some of your must-sees and -dos while in the city?
Visiting museums, walking along the Seine, and enjoying croissants are my musts while in Paris!

Jelly Roll is celebrating a major milestone in his health journey. The singer, whose real name is Jason DeFord, recently shared a picture of himself on social media in a full Louis Vuitton set. In the playful caption, he revealed to his fans that he can now wear designer clothes after losing 110 pounds.
“I can fit in Louis Vuitton now. Pray for my bank account,” he wrote. The 40-year-old performer wore the luxury look, which included a collared jacket, black shirt, and matching pants, during his performance in Vatican City for the God of the World concert.
Jelly Roll began his weight loss transformation in 2022 when he weighed around 550 lbs. At the time, he was open about wanting to focus on his health and overcome food addiction, which had been his biggest struggle. His nickname “Jelly Roll” was given to him by his mom, reflecting that lifelong battle with weight.
By 2024, the artist told PEOPLE that he had lost about 110 lbs. Much of that was during his four-month Beautifully Broken tour, where he lost 60-70 lbs. by walking and running 2-3 miles a day and eating healthier. He credits nutritionist Chef Ian Larios, who traveled with him to prepare high-protein meals, for helping him stay on track.

Jelly Roll has been open about how his tours now focus on exercise, healthy food, and mental well-being instead of drinking and drugs that used to shape his life on the road. He also said he chose not to use weight loss medication like Ozempic, fearing the side effects of acid reflux that could damage his voice. For now, fans are cheering him on as he gets to enjoy the reward of his hard work, not just better health but also the confidence to get on stage in designer clothes.
Jelly Roll has lost more than 110 pounds since starting his weight loss journey in 2022, with around 60–70 pounds dropped during his Beautifully Broken tour in 2024.
No, Jelly Roll has said he chose to lose weight naturally through diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. He avoided Ozempic because of concerns about side effects like acid reflux, which could harm his singing voice.
Jelly Roll wore his Louis Vuitton outfit while performing at the God of the World concert in Vatican City and later shared photos of the look on his Instagram.

Deepika’s Chic Airport Look

The actress warmly smiled at paparazzi as she walked into the terminal, looking effortlessly stylish.

“Working backstage for over 20 years at Louis Vuitton fashion shows, I am thrilled to now play such a key role in the launch of La Beauté Louis Vuitton, which is the result of extraordinary craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation,” McGrath says via press release. The inaugural lineup includes lipstick, lip balm, and a curated array of eyeshadow palettes, all conceived as cosmetics, yes, but also objets d’art to be kept, refilled, and treasured for years to come.
