Published: Jan 28 2026

**Heated Rivalry** stars Connor Storrie and François Arnaud served looks that turned heads at Paris Fashion Week. The actors walked out together to attend the Hotel Costes party in Paris on Monday, Jan. 26th. Storrie, 25, stunned in dark-wash denim paired with a crisp white T-shirt and a black leather jacket featuring brown fleece trim. The actor, who stars as Russian hockey star Ilya Rozanov in the hit Crave original show (which airs on HBO in the U.S.), accessorized his look with black pointed-toe shoes, creating a Western-inspired silhouette that paid homage to his Texan roots.

Arnaud, 40, who stars as Scott Hunter in **Heated Rivalry**, wowed in a periwinkle blue V-neck sweater paired with navy trousers, a maroon trench coat, and brown leather shoes. Other stars in attendance included **A Complete Unknown** star Monica Barbaro, as well as Kate Hudson, Teyana Taylor, Romeo Beckham and his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, and Amandla Stenberg.

The fashion week outing came shortly after Storrie joined his **Heated Rivalry** costar Hudson Williams as an Olympic torchbearer during the Olympic Torch Relay, which wove through Italy before ending in Milan. “Olympic Flame + Hudson Williams & Connor Storrie as torchbearers = ABSOLUTE CINEMA,” the official Olympics account wrote in an Instagram post.

The 2026 Winter Games will take place from Feb. 6 to Feb. 22 in Italy. Williams also had his own high-fashion moment recently. The actor surprised fans on the runway when he showed off his walk at the DSquared2 show during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan on Jan. 16th. He opened the winter-themed show, rocking double denim with high-fashion snow boots and a hat hooked to his belt loop.

Both Storrie and Williams, 24, have seen a meteoric rise since the first few episodes of the sports romance show dropped in November 2025. **Heated Rivalry**, adapted for television by director Jacob Tierney from Rachel Reid’s Game Changers book series, follows burgeoning star hockey players Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie) as their sport pushes them into becoming rivals, while they secretly fall in love off the ice.

The show wrapped up its first season on Dec. 26th, with Canadian streaming service Crave announcing before the finale that Tierney would begin work on a second season following the show’s breakout success in the U.S. on HBO Max.
