Macaulay Culkin stepped out for an appearance at Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday amid a bittersweet week for the star. The actor, 45, was seen taking a coveted front row seat at the Christian Dior Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show alongside Priyanka Chopra and Anya Taylor Joy.
He was pictured on what would have been the eve of the late Catherine O'Hara's birthday. The Schitts Creek actress, who passed away from a pulmonary embolism on 30 January 2026 at the age of 71, played Macaulay's mother in the iconic 90s Christmas film, Replica Luxury Handbag Alone.

"Mama. I thought we had time," Macaulay, who also starred in 1992's Replica Luxury Handbag Alone 2, penned. "I wanted more. I wanted to sit in a chair next to you. I heard you. But I had so much more to say. I love you. I’ll see you later."
