Wings were traded for a Eurostar carriage on Tuesday morning as Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Ringo Starr and their respective wives returned to London after a brief appearance at Paris Fashion Week.
The former Beatles legends had a ticket to ride from the French capital, where they were on hand to support Paul's designer daughter Stella as she presented her latest autumn-winter womenswear range.
Sir Paul, 81, greeted onlookers with a characteristically cheerful smile as he made his way across a busy Kings Cross St. Pancras station with wife Nancy.
Beatles Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr sat in the front row as they cheered on Sir Paul’s daughter Stella at her Paris Fashion Week show.
Stella, whose latest collection proved to be one of the highlights from Paris, completed the group as they left the station and climbed into a waiting car.
Other famous faces at the show included musician MIA, actresses Naomie Harris and Jameela Jamil, model Ashley Graham, Spice Girl Mel C and Michael Jackson’s daughter Paris.
Sir Paul and Sir Ringo were flanked by their wives Nancy Shevell and Barbara Bach for the event.
They applauded as models including Kate Moss’s daughter Lila and Natalia Vodianova took to the catwalk.
Moss wore a light blue knitted poncho-style coat, while Russian model Natalia Vodianova closed the show in a floor-length white furry coat and matching boots.
After the show McCartney emerged on the catwalk in an oversized grey suit teamed with a black T-shirt and took a bow.
McCartney’s autumn/winter 2024 ready-to-wear collection opened with “a message from Mother Earth”.
A collection of screens next to the runway showed pictures of nature, with a voiceover read by actors Olivia Colman and Dame Helen Mirren – representing Mother Earth – asking: “Why are you harming me?”
McCartney’s vegan fashion brand eschews materials such as leather and instead uses sustainable materials like mushrooms for leather-looking pieces.
Last year she debuted biodegradable, non-toxic sequins, made without plastic.
Paul was seen wearing a white shirt underneath a dark waistcoat and jacket at the event. His outfit also included a pair of navy trousers and he accessorised with some brown sunglasses. His wife Nancy instead wore a multicoloured dress that she had paired with a lengthy beige coat.
Ringo donned a black t-shirt with a matching jacket and trousers. He decided to wear a pair of sunglasses too and further accessorised with a necklace that featured a peace sign. His wife Barbara coordinated in a black top, jacket and trousers for the fashion show in France.
