Kate Moss Upgrades An LBD With These Specific Tights in Paris – Jimmy Star’s World

The City of Lights has played host to many a style icon throughout its storied history—Marie Antoinette and her rococo extravagance, Josephine Baker and her ostentatious showgirl wardrobe, Audrey Hepburn and her beatnik chic.

Now, during the early part of Paris Fashion Week, legendary supermodel Kate Moss has taken it upon herself to prove exactly why the French capital is the perfect place for stylish dressers to shine.

No stranger to making her well-adored wardrobe items, including the Levi’s 501s she wore on repeat while off-duty in the ‘90s, the Wellington boots that made a regular appearance at Glastonbury during the early 2000s, or even her vintage Hermès bag that she recently took to the beach in Formentera, the centrepiece of a memorable outing, Moss’s latest excursion relied upon a very simple formula. However, it was the way she leaned into the effortless sensuality and refined elegance synonymous with the city that truly made me stop in our tracks.

I’m, of course, referring to the way the 51-year-old transformed a humble LBD into something far more sophisticated by teaming it with a pair of black tights and chic, round-toe heels. She stepped out in this look while running errands through the First Arrondissement—checking into The Ritz in Place Vendôme, attending a fitting at Tom Ford’s atelier, enjoying the sights after attending Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2026 collection on Monday evening.

On the latter, it appears she took styling cues from Anthony Vaccarello’s latest collection for the house as the Belgian designer also presented a slew of vampy looks paired with lighter stockings and humble pumps.

And while a luxe monochromatic outfit like this seems in keeping with what one would pack to wear in Paris, what surprised me the most was the way she switched out her darker denier tights for a shade that was on the sheer side.

In the past, I’ve almost omitted wearing anything under a 40, erroneously thinking that they wouldn’t make an impact. But what Moss has proven here is that there’s a subtle sophistication in exercising restraint and not going too bold with your tights this season.

For those asking about whatever happened to glamour, allow me to be the first person to salute Moss in her act of dressing up for the occasion—and the location. With party season and colder weather approaching, it’s also never felt more relevant to lean into the fun of looking glamorous for the hell of it.
