Macaulay Culkin turned heads in a Very Hungry Caterpillar jumper and painted nails as he attended the Dior show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. 

The Hollywood actor, 45, looked in good spirits as he made his first public appearance since his Home Alone co-star Catherine O’Hara's shock death aged 71 in January. 

Macaulay rocked the quirky white jumper with the famous 1969 children's book by Eric Carle printed on the front layered over a smart blue shirt. 

The American star donned a pair of rolled up blue denim jeans and a pair of brown Dior printed trainers with the ensemble. 

But it was Macaulay's colourful painted nails which caught the eye as he posed for photos on the red carpet. 

Earlier in the day, the actor was spotted wearing a pair of sunglasses as he exited his hotel in the city for the show. 

O’Hara passed away in late January at the age of 71 from a pulmonary embolism caused by rectal cancer.

Amid the actress’s death, Macaulay took to Instagram to share two photos of them together, including a movie still and a more recent image taken on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

He captioned, 'Mama. I thought we had time. 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.'

O’Hara was well known for playing Moira Rose on Schitt's Creek, for which she won an Emmy in 2020.

More recently, she starred as Patty Leigh in Apple TV+'s The Studio.

Culkin and the award-winning entertainer had an emotional final reunion two years ago as she introduced the actor at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in December 2023.

At the time, the Hollywood icon made a heartfelt speech and the onscreen mother-son duo shared a tearful embrace.

'Home Alone was, is and always will be a beloved global sensation. The reason families all over the world can't let a year go by without watching and loving Home Alone together is because of Macaulay Culkin,' she gushed at the podium.

She described Culkin’s performance in the 1990 blockbuster as 'perfect.'

'I know you worked really hard. I know you did, but you made acting look like the most natural thing in the world to do,’ she added.

Macaulay and Catherine famously played mother and son, Kevin and Kate McCallister in Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992)

O’Hara also praised his professionalism and passion for acting, noting that he always brings his 'sweet and twisted, yet totally relatable sense of humor to every project he does.’

'Macaulay, congratulations. You so deserve your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,' she said.

She injected her signature humor as she concluded, ‘And thank you for including me, your fake mom who left you home alone not once, but twice, to share in this happy occasion. I'm so proud of you.'

Ana Martinez – producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame – had previously expressed excitement over O'Hara and Culkin's reunion in a press release.

'How fitting that Catherine O'Hara who played Macaulay's mother in the film is reuniting with her movie son and will be speaking at the ceremony!' she said.
