As far as pre-show morning routines go, Antonia Gentry’s is pretty relaxed. Switching between green juice and coffee — why choose? — the “Ginny & Georgia” star was an oasis of calm in between a swirl of hair and makeup as she prepped for the Miu Miu show on the last day of Paris Fashion Week.
Gentry was well-rested, in part because she had spent much of her trip to Paris sleeping. Three days is the perfect amount of time to adjust to the nine-hour time difference from Los Angeles, she said, but her trip was only four days — resulting in some serious pillow time.
Tuesday’s show was Gentry’s first Miu Miu appearance. She said that Prada’s little sister brand is a “refreshing take on fashion.”
“Everything’s kind of deconstructed and unexpected. And I think that that’s really fun, because there’s a lot of things that feel very uniform and similar, and it’s just nice to feel like I’m actually living in something different,” she said.
She had selected one of Miu Miu’s plaid micro-minis, a sports bra top and letterman’s jacket and windbreaker. The look was completed with knee-high socks and loafers for a too-cool-for-school vibe.
Gentry steered clear from the sparkly Miu Miu HotPants that were all the rage last year.
“I could never pull that off to be honest,” she said. “I think those who can are heroes.”
Still, her look of the day was pretty ab-baring, and Gentry showed some serious core strength for it, despite her penchant for relaxing.
“I love sitting on the couch watching my shows. I’m trying to get into Pilates. Is that a sport?” she mused.
Instead, she’s been binging “Severance” and “White Lotus,” and even spent a night in her Paris hotel room starting the series “Paradise” with Sterling K. Brown. “I love him, so it was an easy draw for me.”
For her beauty look, Gentry said she “never has any ideas for hair or makeup,” and relies on her team. For the day they went with a light cat eye and a ‘90s style half-up, half-down combination with a spiky mini-bun. Oribe spray sealed the deal, while a flick of cat eye completed the look.
Attending Paris Fashion Week was a dream just two years ago when she came to the city for her birthday, and now she has a few shows under her belt.
“I’m just so happy I even get to come here. I remember the first time I came here was for my birthday, because I happened to be in Europe filming something, and we came here, and I was like, ‘Oh, it’d be so cool to be invited to Paris Fashion Week one day,’” she said. “It’s insane, but it’s just such a good time every time.
“Everyone is so stylish in Paris, and then when I come here for fashion week, everything’s turned up to a 10. And it’s a little intimidating, but it’s also very inspiring and very cool,” she said.
At the show, Gentry was seated with Emma Corrin and Sydney Sweeney for Miu Miu’s eclectic presentation of bullet bras, brooches and plaid bombers.
