The Michael Kors Spring 2026 RTW collection leaned into the relaxed sensuality of the season.

“The simple truth is that escapism helps us tremendously,” says Michael Kors. “So many of us live urban lives, and when you travel, you learn about yourself, you learn about other people, you learn about life. It’s nature that always knocks us out, but balanced with elegance and sophistication—that’s everything I want this collection to convey.”

Liquid draping and soft tailoring took center stage, explored in pareos, pajamas and draped culottes that exemplify laid-back glamour. Clothes that catch the breeze—think leggy caftans and flowing tunics—shared the runway with airy, perforated suede and paillettes wrapped in soft, translucent silk voile, all designed to reflect the lightness of the season. Desert hues comprised the palette, with shades of branch, espresso, and ecru paired back to sunset tones of palomino, cashew, quartz and guava.

Accessories were soft, textured and meticulously crafted, like an oversized leather clutch, knotted market bags and bold leather jewelry hand-crafted by Italian artisans. Streamlined sandals and mules, both flat and heeled, completed the sophisticated but nonchalant attitude.

Gwyneth Paltrow, brand ambassador Suki Waterhouse, Olivia Munn, Leslie Bibb, Olivia Wilde, Audra McDonald, Kelsea Ballerini and others were among the A-list front row.
