There was a new face on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week over the weekend, as a surprise A-lister walked down the runway in of one of the designers' fashion shows. Oscar-winning actor Olivia Colman joined a line up of models to showcase Miu Miu's collection - much to the everyone's surprise - on Sunday (4 October), wearing an enviable leather midi skirt.
Olivia made her catwalk debut, walking in her first fashion show at 52 years old - is there anything she can't do? Although Olivia was taking part in a Spring/ Summer show, her leather look lends itself well to the current autumn season. The star wore a black leather below-the-knee skirt with a leather jacket over a black v-neck, and finished the look with a pair of brogues.
While most of us won't have quite the budget to buy direct from next season's catwalk, the good news is that the high street has some brilliant leather midis to recreate Olivia's look - at a fraction of the cost. A favourite of our's is Mango's 'faux leather midi skirt', which is on sale for £36.99 and (at time of writing) still in stock:
The skirt is also available in brown, but at full price for £49.99:
If you're looking to recreate Olivia's full look, M&S has a brilliant leather jacket which echoes the catwalk option, with similarly sharp lapels falling a similar below-the-hip length. The 'Faux Leather Oversized Cropped Blazer' is by Roman, and is available at M&S for £65:
Olivia Colman wasn't the only celebrity to appear on the Miu Miu runway, as she was also joined by Emma Corin. The pair both starred in cult royal series, The Crown, and are now appearing in a new film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice together, as mother and daughter. Emma Corrin plays Mrs Bennet, while Olivia takes on the role of her mother, Mrs Bennet.
Last week, Olivia Colman was promoting another film - Wicker - and turned heads on the red carpet with a surprise hair transformation, arriving with cascading silver curls.
