Katherine LaNasa, the Emmy-winning actress who plays Nurse Dana on the hit HBO series 'The Pitt,' attended the Louis Vuitton fall 2026 fashion show in Paris despite sustaining a broken toe. LaNasa wore a 'chic Canadian tuxedo' look that she describes as 'modern' and 'youthful,' a departure from her more feminine fashion choices over the past year. The actress also discussed the impact of the show's recent rape kit storyline, which she prepared for by studying at the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA Health.
Why it matters
LaNasa's attendance at the Louis Vuitton show despite her injury highlights her dedication to her craft and the fashion industry, while the discussion of the show's rape kit storyline underscores the importance of accurate and sensitive portrayals of such sensitive topics on television.
The details
LaNasa sustained the broken toe injury during a stunt rehearsal for an upcoming project, which led her to choose a 'chic Canadian tuxedo' look for the Louis Vuitton show that she describes as 'modern' and 'youthful.' The actress also had a busy day in Paris, including shopping with friend Chloë Grace Moretz, a facial and lymphatic massage, and dinner with pal Sarah Paulson. LaNasa first worked with Louis Vuitton when they dressed her for the Critics Choice Awards, and she also had a custom gown designed for her by Jason Wu for her awards run for 'The Pitt.'

What they’re saying
“I messed up my toe so badly that I could only wear a sandal — and it's not really sandal weather. Anything that was appropriate to have a boot with really wasn't going to work.”

“So much of my fashion over the last year has been very feminine. And so it's nice to have this sort of street vibe. And I think it's also kind of fresh and surprising for [Louis Vuitton]...I'm probably one of the older of the guests that they're dressing, to be in one of the more youthful things. It's always sort of cute to see a very young girl in something super ladylike. And I also think the reverse can be really fresh.”
— Katherine LaNasa, Actress (WWD)
“It's so elegant and so lovely. You really just want to cry. The Bristol is a gorgeous hotel. The fitting was divine. The clothes were on point. They treat you like a queen and you just feel like a little princess when you're a guest of Louis Vuitton.”
— Katherine LaNasa, Actress (WWD)
“I think that we got a lot of good information out there. And I think that there was a point of view on the storyline of how invasive it is to go through a rape kit. I think we were able to show a very multidimensional view of the experience of being a rape victim, of being a SANE [Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner] nurse practitioner. Those are the nurses that specialize in taking the rape kits and the weight of the process on both the practitioner and on the patient. And I think a lot of women really reacted to that. I felt a great honor in being part of that storyline.”
— Katherine LaNasa, Actress (WWD)
The takeaway
LaNasa's dedication to her craft and the fashion industry, as well as her thoughtful portrayal of a sensitive storyline on 'The Pitt,' demonstrate her versatility as an actress and her commitment to using her platform to address important social issues.
