It's not every day that you see Richard E. Grant donning a leather apron, but fresh off the heels of the Miu Miu spring/summer 2026 show, it's all we can think about. In fact, the show has us thinking that the humble apron might just be the next kitchen must-have.
These domestic fixtures made several appearances in the runway show, from frilly iterations to the aforementioned sleek, leather number. For some of us, they have always been staples in the kitchen, though typically in a cotton or linen variety. Their history goes back to ancient Egyptian civilizations, when they were worn primarily for ritualistic and style purposes. In the 19th century, they began to be associated with domesticity and have been ever since.
