Everything to Know About the Stella McCartney’s Fall/Winter 2025 Runway Show

Stella McCartney’s Winter 2025 collection, Laptop to Lapdance, is a masterclass in duality—because why shouldn’t a woman’s wardrobe work just as hard (and have just as much fun) as she does? Blurring the lines between corporate polish and after-hours allure, it’s a bold exploration of power in all its forms: ambition and seduction, structure and fluidity, authority and rebellion. Precision tailoring meets ‘80s-inspired shoulders, while fluid draping and hip-cinched silhouettes add a new kind of sensuality. And you can’t look past the sequins and fun.

The show’s setting was its own kind of power statement. Among the A-list crowd perched in office chairs, desks were strewn with papers, printers hummed in the background, and water coolers stood beside… pole dancers? It was corporate chaos in the best way—McCartney’s vision of the 9-to-5 woman is anything but predictable. Let’s unpack her wardrobe.

An A-List Front Row

The front row was just about as much of a spectacle as the dancers. Seeing Tom Ford and Kate Moss together felt like a throwback to a different era of fashion—one defined by sharp tailoring, decadence, and an untouchable cool factor. Meanwhile, Ice Spice injected a sense of modernity into the mix, embodying the current crossover of hip-hop and high fashion. And Cameron Diaz? A reminder that effortless, timeless style still reigns supreme. Their collective presence underscored McCartney’s ability to appeal to a wide variety of personal style, ensuring her designs remain as relevant as ever.

Undone Corporate Attire

Corporate dressing has been undergoing a transformation with the rise of the Soft Power trend that we have been following since the spring/summer 2025 collections walked the runways. Stella McCartney finally delivered her take and it’s one of the best. Oversized ’80s power suits are back and better than ever but in this case exceptionally unbuttoned and relaxed. We also see pencil skirts styled with nonchalant ease, and tote bags big enough for the laptop, workout clothes, and lunch. This is the new officewear, stripped of its rigidity, proving that professional dressing doesn’t have to mean buttoned-up.

Glitzy Eveningwear

Stella McCartney’s take on eveningwear this season was a masterclass in fluid glamour. Draping, sequins, and unapologetically sensual silhouettes defined the collection’s most dazzling looks. But the standout moment? This collection of eveningwear is nothing like your typical red carpet gowns. Say hello to pole-dancing attire—bodysuits worn alone, exuding confidence and movement in a way that felt more ice skater-meets-runway than overtly provocative.

Drop Waist Coats

The drop waist silhouette is making a case for its return, and Stella McCartney is leading the charge with a fresh interpretation. This season, her outerwear took on a dramatic yet refined shape, emphasizing a tailored hourglass with a cinch that hit lower on the body—at the hips rather than the waist. The result? A strikingly elongated torso and a silhouette that felt both structured and effortlessly fluid. It’s a fresh perspective on a classic shape, one that feels like a direct response to the current demand for tailoring that feels less rigid and more dynamic.

Fresh Optics

There’s always an accessory moment at a Stella McCartney show, and this season, it was all about optical glasses. But these weren’t just any frames—they had an undeniable sports mode energy, blending sleek, futuristic elements with classic suiting. Think polished silver accents, streamlined shapes, and a subtle high-performance aesthetic that made them feel more dynamic than your standard pair of intellectual eyewear. Expect these frames to be an it-buy by fall.
