Stella Rose Gahan is proving that talent – and striking looks – clearly run in the family. The rising model and musician stepped out at the McQueen Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show during Paris Fashion Week.

For the star-studded fashion event, Stella opted for a sleek monochrome ensemble that perfectly captured the dramatic spirit of the British fashion house. She wore a delicate ivory mini dress featuring a fitted bodice with soft ruffled detailing and a pleated skirt that fell high on the thigh.

The look had a slightly romantic, vintage-inspired feel – but Stella gave it a modern twist with bold accessories. She paired the dress with striking white knee-high boots featuring lace-up detailing and sculptural heels, adding an edgy contrast to the soft silhouette.

In one hand she carried a vivid cobalt blue clutch, the pop of colour providing a stylish focal point against the otherwise neutral outfit.

Stella wore her jet-black hair loose and shaggy with choppy bangs framing her face, while dramatic red eye shadow gave her gaze an almost gothic intensity – a style choice that felt very much in line with her family’s alternative rock roots.

It’s hardly surprising that Stella looks so comfortable blending fashion and music culture. She is the daughter of Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan and filmmaker and photographer Jennifer Sklias-Gahan.

Growing up surrounded by creativity, Stella has gradually carved out her own path in the fashion and music worlds. She is also the younger sister of Jack Gahan.

While she may be known as a nepo baby thanks to her famous parentage, Stella has been steadily building a career of her own. The New York-based creative has worked as both a model and musician, often blending the two worlds through her distinctive personal style and artistic projects.

She has appeared in fashion campaigns and editorial shoots while also releasing music that channels the same moody, alternative sensibility that defined her father’s legendary band.

With her striking looks, artistic instincts and growing presence on the fashion scene, Stella Rose Gahan appears well on her way to establishing a name that stands confidently on its own – even if fans still can’t help noticing just how much she resembles her famous dad.
