Will Poulter was a headliner at Paris Men’s Fashion Week when he opened the 424 Spring/Summer 2026 runway show. This was Poulter's second showing for the design label, he walked for 424 back in January.
At the showing on June 24, Poulter wore a tailored oversized pinstripe suit given an interesting appeal with red-tinted sunglasses and silver jewelry that fused the chic abstraction of formal attire with a modern emphasis of design aesthetics.
His comfortably confident showing on the runway was lauded by fashion critics as well as family and friends who were observing from the audience.
Poulter has said in a number of recent interviews that fashion has become a meaningful act of self-expression. While the vast majority of his individual recognition is based on his film work, his expansion into the fashion world is indicative of the expansion of his recognition.
The collision of his presence as an on-screen talent with his burgeoning fashion talents makes him a unique consideration in both spaces. Poulter's increased presence on runways is emblematic of a new stage of his career - balancing acting with a more serious flirtation with style and design.

Poulter Takes on Bold Roles in Film and TV
Along with his fashion success, Will Poulter is undertaking wonderful roles in film. One movie he is working on is called Rapture, which is a horror film that takes place during the Black Plague outbreak in 1348.
Poulter plays a monk in the middle of an outbreak that causes people to turn into the undead. The movie will be shooting in Hungary and also stars Kit Connor and Manu Ríos.
Poulter is getting solid reviews for his role in Death of a Unicorn, which is an A24 dark comedy horror film. Reviews for the movie mention his performance consistently. One review declared he stole the movie, even with a strong cast of talent.
He is also starring in the movie Warfare, which is about U.S. Navy SEALs in Iraq. Warfare is directed by Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza with the aim of portraying military life authentically and honestly and without a political agenda.
When Poulter was first offered the role, he wasn't sure he wanted to make a war film, but he said that the directors' and writers' focus on realism made him accept the role. Cumulatively, these roles highlight Poulter's capacity to play complex and difficult characters across many genres.
