Hayley Williams gave the lingerie trend a fall makeover when she attended Stella McCartney’s spring 2025 show in Paris on Monday. The Paramore singer and songwriter put her twist on innerwear-as-outerwear, which underwent a resurgence on the runway for fall and spring 2023, specifically those belonging to Miuccia Prada, Cynthia Rowley, Tom Ford, Tory Burch, Victoria Beckham and Donatella Versace.

In her take on it, Williams paired floral-embellished briefs and a bra with a barn jacket and Stella McCartney’s Elsa knee-high, pointed-toe boots in vegan leather. She accessorized her look with nude fishnet tights, Stella McCartney’s Ryder shoulder bag and a pair of aviator sunglasses.

In June, Williams wore another pair of Stella McCartney briefs with nude fishnet tights when Paramore opened for Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour at Wembley Stadium. She wore crystal-embellished briefs with Stella McCartney’s Skyla heeled sock boots and a reproduction of the iconic one-shoulder top the designer wore to the “Rock Style”-themed 1999 Met Gala alongside Liv Tyler, referencing their “rock royalty” fathers: the Beatles’ Paul McCartney and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.

The Met Gala Liv Tyler and Stella McCartney’s DIY-looking tank tops in 1999 were certainly a deviation from the rest of the couture on the red carpet. The theme was “Rock Style,” so their tops also read “rock royalty” in honor of their famous fathers, Aerosmith front-runner Steven Tyler and Beatles bassist Paul McCartney.

That wasn’t the only Stella McCartney look Williams wore at Paramore’s Wembley Stadium show. She also suited up in the designer’s purple triangle-bra halterneck dress from the fall 2022 collection to join Taylor Swift on stage for a surprise duet of their 2023 collaboration “Castles Crumbling.”

Williams, who took in Vivienne Westwood’s spring 2025 show in Paris this weekend, reflected on her fashion influences last September, telling WWD, “We always will look to Debbie [Harry], because she also wore really feminine silhouettes, but had a cool toughness to her. And I think that where we’re at culturally and politically, I wanted to reflect a time that for all I’ve ever read about it, for all I know of, was similar. There was a lot of fighting for rights that should be very basic human rights. And I think I just thought between all those things, it felt like the right persona or character for the album, to be really angry while wearing mary janes and a tiny, tiny miniskirt.”
