Getting Ready With

Can You Guess Julia Schlaepfer’s Hair Reference For Ralph Lauren’s Paris Presentation?

Hint: It’s not a girl.

by Kevin LeBlanc

Ralph Lauren’s press day during Paris Fashion Week is a homecoming for the Americans who might be a little homesick for the comforts of preppier pastures — or a classic hamburger and fries. The fixture of Americana has an opulent Left Bank townhouse, where Ralph’s — the Parisian equivalent of the Polo Lounge — sits, as well as the Fall/Winter 2025 presentation. 1923 star Julia Schlaepfer is in the French capital for her very first fashion week, and of course her first stop had to be Ralph.

The budding starlet recently got a choppy bob, and for her maiden Paris show experience, she opted for a ‘90s reference almost every man in Brooklyn (myself included) has brought to their barber for her windswept blonde locks. Her outfit was comfortable yet polished, in true Ralph style, and she was sure to wipe off any remaining croissant crumbs before she hit the streets. Below, a very eager American in Paris gave us a peek into her photo dump of the prep process.
