A New Era In Motion: Kylian Mbappé Teases Jonathan Anderson’s Dior Debut

Kylian Mbappé steps into his new role as Dior’s global ambassador with effortless charm, offering a first glimpse into Jonathan Anderson’s debut menswear collection for the house

June 25, 2025

There’s a certain magic to a fashion teaser when it lands just right — and Dior, now under the fresh creative leadership of Jonathan Anderson, nails it. Ahead of the much-anticipated Dior Men’s Summer 2026 show, the house released a pair of playful videos starring its new global ambassador: none other than football superstar Kylian Mbappé.

It’s a pairing that makes immediate sense. Mbappé is more than just a sporting icon; he’s a cultural touchstone, embodying excellence, confidence, and style in a way that transcends the field. In these short films, the Real Madrid forward appears relaxed and magnetic, wearing early looks from Anderson’s debut collection. They’re subtle, but potent: hints of sport-inspired tailoring, fluid silhouettes, and a nod to the quiet eccentricity that Anderson has become known for at Loewe.

Anderson’s appointment at Dior follows the departure of Kim Jones, whose tenure shaped a highly successful street-meets-savoir-faire identity for the brand. With Anderson, the house seems poised for something more poetic, perhaps more personal. Known for infusing unexpected elements into high fashion and redefining modern masculinity, Anderson brings with him a rich design language built on craft, character, and playfulness.

These teaser videos are more than just marketing—they’re a mission statement. They suggest a shift not only in style but also in tone. Where Dior once leaned into hyper-polished suiting and urban luxury, Anderson appears to be injecting a softer touch. The garments hint at storytelling rather than spectacle. They look lived-in, yet intentional. As Mbappé moves through the scenes with ease, the clothes move with him—weightless, confident, and cool.

For Anderson, casting Mbappé isn’t just smart—it’s intuitive. “Kylian Mbappé is the voice of a generation,” he says. “These films show the charm and charisma that make him the perfect ambassador for this House.” Indeed, this doesn’t feel like a celebrity endorsement for the sake of virality. It feels earned. Mbappé isn’t just wearing the clothes—he’s embodying them.

The full Dior Summer 2026 men’s show is scheduled for Friday, June 27, at 2:30 pm CEST (10:30 pm AEST), and will be streamed live globally. If the teasers are anything to go by, we’re not just witnessing a change in creative direction—we’re watching the beginning of a whole new chapter.

One where fashion is looser, more fluid. One where icons like Mbappé aren’t just faces—they’re voices. And one where Jonathan Anderson might just rewrite the Dior menswear playbook entirely.
