Johnny Depp is sailing through to fashion week.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star made his return to Paris Fashion Week more than three decades after his last appearance, sitting front row at Dior’s Spring/Summer 2025 runway show Oct. 1.
It was also the first time Depp has attended one of Dior’s shows since becoming the face of the brand’s men’s fragrance Dior Sauvage in 2015.
And the 62-year-old was in classic Depp form, wearing one his signature fedoras in gray, which he paired with a gray, double-breasted coat over a dark green plaid shirt and baggy blue jeans. Depp completed the look with a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses.
The last time the “Edward Scissorhands” actor was seen at Paris Fashion Week was when he was joined by then-girlfriend Kate Moss.
And it makes sense why Depp — who dated the supermodel from 1994 to 1997 — would choose Paris as the spot for his return, as France holds special memories from when he and ex Vanessa Paradis raised their children Lily-Rose Depp, 26, and Jack Depp, 23, there.

“Truly, the first time I felt I had a home was the place in the south of France where Vanessa and I raised the kiddies,” he told The Sunday Times in June. “That’s the only place that ever felt like home.”
As the Oscar nominees recalled, “I was Papa. I cannot tell you how much I loved being Papa.”
Unfortunately, that did change when the family started to spend more time in Los Angeles, with the “Ed Wood” star lamenting, “Papa was out the window. I was Dad.”
Although he is hoping to be “Papa” once again should his kids have children of their own, joking, “Some motherf—–‘s going to have to call me Papa!”
But for now, Depp is just taking whatever time he can to live a calmer, quieter life.
“To this day I just rarely go out,” he shared with The Sunday Times. “If friends invite me out for Mexican, I say, ‘Dude, that’s sweet of you but I will ruin your night.’”
As he explained, he knows that his “presence will bring attention,” and despite his long career, it can still come as a surprise.
“I have had almost 40 years of fame,” he added, “but I’m still not used to it. And I’m glad I’m not.”
