“It was epic,” says Grace Van Patten, almost at a loss for words following the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week. The actress is calling from the car as she leaves the show venue, having arrived in Paris only the morning before for her one and only PFW stop. From her excitement, it was clearly worth the trip.
“It was a masterpiece with every detail — from the clothes to the shoes to the ambience,” she says. “It was very transportive.”
She took in the show seated next to her “Nine Perfect Strangers” costar and friend Samara Weaving, much to her delight.
“That was a nice surprise — we were squeezing each other’s hands throughout the whole thing,” she says.

The project is a Hulu series called “Tell Me Lies,” from Emma Roberts’ production company.
