Turkish screen icon Hande Erçel anticipates the biggest fashion trends of 2026 at Haute Couture Week.
Turkish screen icon Hande Erçel is one of the world’s most stylish stars, point simple. From sleek suits to glamorous couture creations, the actor’s sartorial choices often lean on timeless elegance and classic beauty. Attending Haute Couture Week in Paris, however, the Two Worlds, One Wish star reinvented her lookbook, incorporating what are meant to become the year’s biggest trends.
No Manners has previously reported and forecasted the biggest fashion trends for Winter 2026. Now, as the season unfolds, celebrities are bringing these trends to life with fashionable looks that combine edge, style and plenty of personality. Hande Erçel, the it girl of Turkey, is among the glitterati serving looks taken straight from the 2026 trendbook.
In Paris to attend Haute Couture Week, the actor has abided by the season’s hottest style formulas, including lace paired with heavyweight fabrics, sheer dressing, and leather.
Erçel first made a case for contrasting textiles on the Elie Saab front row, where she opted for a black pencil leather skirt styled with a beaded top. The ensemble leaned on the maximalism that every trend forecasting agency has announced for 2026. It also tapped into the late 2025 beading resurgence that anticipated the rise of beaded fashion items beyond accessories like jewelry and bags. Hande’s beaded top came straight off the Elie Saab Spring/Summer runway and featured hanging pieces of brown and silver beads and sequins. The piece was then tucked into a black leather skirt with distressed piping that matched the top’s color.

Celebrity-Approved Fashion Trends to Wear in Winter 2026
Putting an edgy spin on her front row ‘fit, the actor-slash-producer sported a pair of statement high-knee boots by the London-based Miista in chocolate brown. If you find the pair familiar, that’s because the shoes were all over the internet last summer when Jenna Ortega wore them to the New York premiere of Wednesday Season 2. While Ortega’s take on the corset-infused boots leaned on gothic territory, Erçel brought a couture feel to the bold footwear. Tying it all together, the star accessorized with high jewelry pieces by Pomellato, the brand she represents as an ambassador.
At Valentino, the Turkish star switched things up with a trendy color palette and textile selection. The foundation of her look came from the Valentino Spring/Summer 2026 collection: a purple dress coat with a demure V neckline and slanted front opening that doubled down as a skirt slit. The trendy coat was paired with equally trendy lace thighs for a tactile juxtaposition effect we’ve seen stars such as Jenna Ortega and Freen Sarocha embrace in recent months.
Still playing with the maximalism theme, Erçel accessorized her front row look with a sequin and stone-covered DeVain bag, Alessandro Michele’s response to the it bag and an item fashion editors are predicting to become the cult bag of 2026.
