Yahoo Lifestyle Iris Law Says Saint Laurent Was So Good, It Made Her Cry
On TikTok, Iris Law makes everything look good. Not just the clothing she wears—often colorful and always cozy—but also the snacks and matcha she tries on video. What really sells it isn’t just her soft voice, but the genuine enthusiasm she exudes.
When I speak to her after the Saint Laurent show in Paris yesterday, her voice comes through creamy and delightful, like those matcha lattes. She says “hi” like someone who really means it; like someone who actually seems delighted to chat.
Her show look for the evening came super easy. She explained that it was from the previous collection, which she adored. “I loved the colors. I loved the transparent. I loved the shapes. I loved everything about it. I just loved it. And so I knew that I wanted to wear something from it, with those silhouettes and those colorways. I also love the bangles.”
The bangles actually inspired her beauty look, which was a smoky greenish eye. “There was this one bangle that was slightly, slightly off tone with the rest of the tones,” she said. “It was a bit more of a brighter yellow-y green. It just popped into my head.The second I put it on I thought, Oh, I could do an eyeshadow to match the bangle! So we did a green smoky eye, which I haven't done before.”
When she first watched the Fall/Winter 2024 show that her layered transparent brown look was from, she remembers being on the verge of tears. “I had goosebumps the whole time. And I don't say that lightly! I just like, really, really aligned with the contrasting colors, and everything else about it.”
What she loves most is how it, along with her career working in fashion, allows her to step into another version of herself and another universe entirely. “My personal style is very, very, very much for comfort. And I actually was thinking recently, if this wasn't my career, I would never wear these things, because I am so comfort-oriented, and I'm very sensory,” she said. “I always want to be comfortable in clothes, and I find a way to make that work while also being expressive and wearing these designers and the people that I love in my daily life. It's nice to be pushed outside that comfort zone when I'm going to shows and Fashion Week events. But in my daily life I’m a bit more cozy.”
As for the most recent show, Law is still taking it all in. She recalls loving the music and the set, which she described as dark and dramatic with a runway that looked like a wet cobblestone street. But what stuck with her the most was how the show was structured.
“I thought what was super amazing and really impactful about the Spring 2025 show was how it was split in two. Something that I always love about [Anthony Vaccarello] is that he really captures the duality of women,” she said. “There’s androgyny and strength. It’s masculine, but also very feminine and delicate. Each look has different aspects of those things.”
As a semi-selfish question for my own Paris to-do list, I finish our call by asking her about her favorite snack she’s had so far this fashion week. And as expected, she had an answer almost instantly. “We just went to Patisserie Tomo, which is one of my favorite cafes in Paris and had this Japanese pancake filled with mascarpone, honey and fig. I just had it right now!”
She pauses before asking someone else in her car, ”Was that the best snack we’ve had in Paris?” and enthusiastically declaring “Yes!”
I can hear her smile through the phone as she jets off to another fitting.
