Greta Lee on Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Couture Debut: “I’m in Shock and So Deeply Moved”

Paris is for dreamers, and among them today is Greta Lee. When allotted some free time in Paris, Lee tells Vogue, “I stroll and dream. And eat bread.” But there is no time for all that today, because Lee is in town for Jonathan Anderson’s debut Dior couture show.

Leave it to the actor, a Dior ambassador, to come prepared with a fashion flex for the occasion: a fresh-off-the-runway look. “I’m wearing Look 2 from Jonathan’s recent men’s collection that just walked a few days ago. I love it so much,” Lee says, referring to an acid green sequined tank top and white jeans, inspired by a 1920s Poiret dress. “Very Poiret-punk. Very Jonathan.”

Lee and Anderson’s history goes far beyond his tenure at the French house. Their friendship dates back to Anderson’s days at Loewe, where Lee regularly sat front row and donned his dresses for red carpets. (He also dressed her for her first-ever Met Gala in 2024.) For Lee, witnessing her longtime friend’s first couture show is a milestone moment. “I’m ecstatic that I can be here for Jonathan’s first couture show. It’s an incredible accomplishment. He’s making history. And he’s doing it exactly on his own terms,” she says. “To be able to see everything in person—this is how couture was meant to be experienced in the salon. The show was absolute heaven. I’m in shock and so deeply moved.”

As one of Anderson’s muses (she debuted his Dior at the 2025 Venice Film Festival), Lee is bound to be mentally bookmarking looks for future red carpets. Ever the diplomat, however, she struggles to pick a favorite. “It’s impossible to choose. But since you are forcing me to pick one,” she jokes, “the gorgeously sculpted spherical dress hand-stitched with what is either feathers that look like shells or shells that look like feathers.” Anderson gave Lee a preview of the collection the night before the show, but the details of her favorite look escape her. “Forgive me, Jonathan,” she says. “Now, of course, I cannot remember.”

As a fan and a friend, Lee sees the dress as “the perfect embodiment of what I love about his perspective. There is a supreme strength and power from the structure, almost as if it’s a piece of combative armor. And yet there is also very much this element of fragility and vulnerability because of the material and the way it moves,” she says. “And there are pockets! How glorious!”
