Johnny Depp Returns to Paris Fashion Week After More Than 30 Years

Johnny Depp is sailing through to fashion week.

As a longtime follower of fashion, I was thrilled to see Johnny Depp back at Paris Fashion Week! It’s been over three decades since he last attended a show, and he made quite the return, taking a front-row seat at Dior’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway show on October 1st. It was a moment, truly!

This marked Johnny Depp’s first appearance at a Dior show since he began representing the brand’s men’s fragrance, Dior Sauvage, in 2015.

The 62-year-old dressed in his typical style, sporting a gray fedora – one of his trademarks. He combined it with a gray, double-breasted coat, a dark green plaid shirt, and loose-fitting blue jeans. He finished the outfit with blue-tinted sunglasses.

The last time Johnny Depp, known for his role in Edward Scissorhands, attended Paris Fashion Week, he was with his then-girlfriend, Kate Moss.

It’s understandable why Johnny-who was with the supermodel from 1994 to 1997-would pick Paris for his return. France holds cherished memories for him, as he and his former partner Vanessa Paradis raised their children, Lily-Rose Depp, 26, and Jack Depp, 23, there.

“I really felt like I had a home for the first time in the south of France, where Vanessa and I raised our children,” he shared with The Sunday Times in June. “That’s the only place that’s ever truly felt like home.”

As the Oscar nominees recalled, “I was Papa. I cannot tell you how much I loved being Papa.”

It really broke my heart when things shifted as the family spent more time in Los Angeles. Ed Wood himself sadly explained it, saying, “Papa was out the window. I was Dad.” It just shows how much the change impacted everyone, and how he stepped up when his father became distant. It’s a truly poignant quote, and I’ve always remembered it.

He’s playfully expressed a wish to be called “Papa” again if his children ever have kids, jokingly saying, “Some motherfker’s going to have to call me Papa!“

But for now, Johnny is just taking whatever time he can to live a calmer, quieter life.

“I still don’t go out much,” he told The Sunday Times. “If friends ask me to go for Mexican food, I tell them, ‘That’s really nice of you, but I’ll just end up spoiling your evening.’”

He shared that he understands his appearance will draw notice, and even after many years in his field, it can still be unexpected.

He continued, “I’ve been famous for nearly 40 years, but it still feels strange. And honestly, I’m happy about that.”
