As a million people will tell you, Paris is experiencing a heatwave right now, but that didn't stop the show from going ahead on Wednesday morning—a time slot that moved from 12:30 to earlier in the morning to save the people working on the show, and the guests, from the worst of the weather. Actor Will Price was amongst such guests, wearing a striped short suit that he says reminded him of something out of The Talented Mr. Ripley. Anyone would agree with us when we say no one is beating the heat at the moment, but Price, who has starred in Luca Guadagnino's After The Hunt and Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, has not been letting the temperature get him down, lounging in the park seems to be what's getting him through. That and attending Dior Men's Spring/Summer 2026. Ahead, he takes us along on show day.
"Morning face wash with vintage world cup highlights on the mirror TV."
"The freshly squeezed orange juice with the room service hit hard on a hot morning."
Tell us about your look for the show...
"I felt very free in my look today. It was super breathable and it reminded me of something you might see in The Talented Mr. Ripley or something like that. There was a playfulness to it that I loved. I campaigned for shorts and was obviously thrilled that it worked out given the temperature."
"Shamrock shoes can't lose."
"Eiffel tower room view >>>>"
What do you love about Dior?
"To me, Dior is fashion at its most aspirational. It reaches towards something. The clothing can bridge eras and whoever wears it. Not to mention, Jonathan is a spectacular artist who I'm deeply inspired by. "
"Popping the collar for the styling."
"The full look. Love this suit. Would wear it all the time. And it was actually super breathable in this heat."
"Headed down to the car with my buddy Miles."
"The show let out into this beautiful garden. Aside from the heat, a perfect summer morning."
How are you beating the heat in Paris at the moment?
"I wouldn't say I'm beating it. It's definitely winning. But I spent a lovely afternoon in the park yesterday and was entertained by a group of kids having a water fight. Really good Summer vibes."
Tell us about the show...
"I felt like I was stepping out into the morning after an unforgettable evening. Like something out of Shakespeare or The Great Gatsby. When the magic fades and the people come back into normal life. Like all the guys were stumbling home in the daylight. The collection was transcendent. To see the evolution from a year ago at Jonathan's first collection to now was really special."
"Miles, Sam, and Iris pre-show."
