Kate Moss, 52, Dazzles on the Runway in a Chic Bedazzled Thong and Backless Gucci Dress
Kate Moss Shines on Gucci Runway at Milan Fashion Week
In a stunning return to the runway, Kate Moss captivated audiences at Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2026 fashion show on February 27 during Milan Fashion Week. The iconic model, aged 52, closed the show, marking the debut of Demna’s new collection with a striking appearance.
Moss showcased a floor-length, sparkly black dress featuring a turtleneck and backless design, skillfully blending elegance and boldness. The dress highlighted her figure and left a hint of her black thong visible, a nod to ’90s fashion. Complementing her look, her blonde hair fell in slightly messy waves, adorned with dangly silver earrings, while a dark smoky eye added a touch of drama.
This runway appearance is Moss’s first in over a year, following her last walk during the 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, where she donned a sheer black lace dress with a thigh-high slit.
Despite her absence from the catwalk, Moss has remained active in the fashion scene, frequently appearing front-row at events. Just days before her Gucci debut, she attended the Burberry Winter 2026 Show alongside her daughter, Lila. In January, she was noted for her appearance at Saint Laurent’s fashion show, where she wore a silk cami paired with a leather skirt.
Moss has embraced a quieter lifestyle in recent years, having established her own talent agency in 2016 and relocating to the Cotswolds, where she has grown passionate about gardening. In a 2022 interview with the BBC, she shared her focus on personal well-being, stating, "I’m not into being out of control anymore. I like to get to bed and do my meditation before anyone gets up. I like to feel in control."
With her latest runway appearance, Moss not only reaffirms her enduring influence in the fashion world but also sets the stage for what may come next in her storied career.
