Parisian Nights and Promising Prospects: Aimee Lou Wood Shines at Paris Fashion Week
Paris Fashion Week is renowned for setting trends and showcasing the latest in haute couture, but this year, it was the personal lives of celebrities that also captured significant attention. Among the glittering attendees at the Chloe show, actress Aimee Lou Wood turned heads not only for her striking fashion choice but also for her undeniable affection for her actor boyfriend, Adam Long.
The 32-year-old star, known for her roles in the hit Netflix series Sex Education and the critically acclaimed HBO drama The White Lotus, made a rare public appearance with her partner. The couple, who were first spotted together in June 2025 and confirmed their romance at the 2025 Emmys, made their red carpet debut at the 2026 Golden Globes. Their meeting, it’s understood, occurred while they were both working on the BBC series Film Club.
At the Chloe show on Wednesday night, Wood was a vision in a shiny, belted PVC trench coat, expertly paired with mint green peep-toe heels. She and Long, 34, were photographed sharing a passionate kiss, seemingly unbothered by the surrounding cameras and onlookers. This public display of affection highlighted the strength of their relationship amidst the glamorous chaos of fashion week.
The couple were in esteemed company, sharing the front row with a host of other notable figures from the entertainment and fashion industries. Among them was TV presenter and model Alexa Chung, 42, who exuded elegance in a peach-toned dress. The garment featured a gathered waist cinched with a bow, and Chung complemented the look with taupe heels. Her fashion-forward ensemble was further enhanced by striking red eye makeup, which made her eyes pop against her outfit. She was seen seated alongside designer Derek Blasberg, adding to the star-studded FROW.
Also gracing the event was model Natalia Vodianova, who captivated the audience with an 80s-inspired strapless purple dress. The design was adorned with ruffles and ruching, offering a dramatic and sophisticated silhouette. Paris Jackson opted for a more subdued yet chic ensemble, embracing earthy tones with a puffball skirt and a complementing cape coat. The event also provided a platform for Oprah Winfrey to showcase her remarkable weight loss journey, as she was seen seated and observing the show. Singer Olivia Rodrigo looked stunning in a lingerie-inspired dress and heels, while American model and actress Dree Hemingway made a statement in a dress featuring a bold floral print.
Beyond her burgeoning personal life and stylish appearances, Aimee Lou Wood’s acting career is experiencing significant momentum. She is slated to take on the iconic role of Jane Eyre in a new period drama, a project that promises to be a departure from her more contemporary roles in Sex Education and The White Lotus. This adaptation of Charlotte Brontë’s classic 1847 novel will see Wood portraying the protagonist as she navigates love, social equality, and independence in the challenging landscape of the 19th century. The new adaptation is reportedly written by Miriam Battye and produced by the acclaimed Working Title.
Wood first garnered widespread recognition for her portrayal of Aimee Gibbs in Netflix’s popular teen comedy Sex Education. Her character, a friend of Maeve Wiley (Emma Mackey), was a consistent presence throughout the series’ run from 2019 to 2023. Following the success of Sex Education, Wood further elevated her career with a pivotal role in the highly successful HBO drama The White Lotus. In its latest season, set in Thailand, she played Chelsea, a vivacious resort guest whose storyline intertwined with that of her boyfriend Rick, portrayed by Walton Goggins, and other characters. The impressive cast of The White Lotus also included talents such as Jason Isaacs, Parker Posey, and Patrick Schwarzenegger.
Wood’s acting portfolio also includes a role in the BBC comedy Daddy Issues, where she played Gemma, the on-screen daughter of Malcolm, brought to life by David Morrissey. Her diverse range and continued success suggest that her upcoming portrayal of Jane Eyre will be another captivating addition to her already impressive body of work.
