The 53-year-old Grammy winner and father of three brought silver-fox swagger to the runway at the Ann Demeulemeester Lonesome Heaven show hosted at the Réfectoire des Cordeliers.

The Emotion Sickness singer, who describes his personal aesthetic as “Southwestern greaser,” fit perfectly with the show’s Americana-infused, dark-romance collection, designed by the brand’s creative director, Stefano Gallici.

He wasn’t the only famous cameo in the show; singer-songwriter Ethel Cain closed the event in a custom dress she designed with Gallici.
“Thank you, Stefano Gallici, and the entire @anndemeulemeester_official team for the expertise, artistry, and kindness,” he wrote in an Oct. 4 Instagram post from the band’s official account.

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme stunned fans with a runway modeling debut during Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027.
“Aging like fine wine,” another fan commented.
“The aura this man has is limitless,” added another person.
“Josh runway modeling…he definitely has the height,” another fan said.

While this is the 6-foot-4 musician’s first runway show, it isn’t his first modeling gig.
He starred in a Saint Laurent Music Project ad campaign in 2015, the same year of the terrorist attack at the Bataclan theater in Paris, where his Eagles of Death Metal bandmates were performing.
Homme, who was not in Paris at the time, learned of the attacks after frontman Jesse Hughes called him. His bandmates all escaped the venue, but 90 people were killed in the attacks.

While he’s a member of both Queens of Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, he rarely tours with the latter because of scheduling conflicts.
In 2024, the rock star and father of three was forced to cancel his tour with Queens of the Stone Age after an undisclosed medical emergency and surgery left him bedridden for seven months.
He officially returned to touring in early 2026.
