Maisie Williams And Reuben Selby Steal The Show At Dior
Forever faves.
It takes a certain level of self awareness to effectively pull off ‘couple dressing’, and Maisie Williams and her longtime partner Reuben Selby—a frankly delightful addition to any fashion show—have it in droves. Yesterday afternoon the pair sat front row at Dior’s socially-distanced spring summer ’21 show in Paris—and during a Fashion Week that is struggling against increasing COVID-19 regulations, their appearance was a welcome ray of sunshine.
Williams and Selby have become something of a fixture on the fashion circuit, thanks to their uncanny ability to present as a single, chic unit. The first time I became aware of their existence as a couple was during an exquisite appearance in his-and-hers pink shadow at the Thom Browne show last September (they repeated the look again, this time with blue eyeshadow, in March). Since then, the duo have appeared at the Charles Jeffrey Loverboy show in London and the Givenchy front row in Paris.
The Game of Thrones actress has been dating Selby since 2019, when Selby worked predominantly as a casting agent and the director of his own agency, The Contact Agency. However, last night he unveiled plans on Instagram to launch his own eponymous label at Paris Fashion Week on October 5th, wiping his Instagram grid in the process.
“The world as we know it requires change; and each of us needs to take responsibility for, and be accountable for our actions,” he wrote. “Now is the time to utilise creativity as a catalyst for change, and through my brand, I want to be and encourage that change. Every choice will be conscious and carefully considered, putting our friends, and the world around us first.”
