Paris Fashion Week Showcases Iconic Designers, Celebrities, Couture Events

Paris Haute Couture Week 2025 is showcasing a blend of bold fashion statements and timeless elegance from renowned celebrities and designers. Lorde attended Balenciaga's final show under creative director Demna, wearing a daring sheer chainmail dress layered over jeans and pasties, reflecting her fluid approach to gender identity. Actress Nicole Kidman also turned heads at the event, opting for a chic black pantsuit with a bold twist, foregoing a blouse for bold tape, while Angela Bassett impressed in a classic dark brown flowing dress at the Stéphane Rolland show, drawing praise for her ageless glamour. Meanwhile, Keira Knightley and her husband James Righton appeared elegantly at Le Bal d’Été, a lavish fundraiser gala marking the start of Couture Week, where Knightley sported a white Chanel gown with silver embellishments. The ball, directed by Sofia Coppola and inspired by legendary hostess Countess Jacqueline de Ribes, raised an estimated $2 million for the upcoming Art Deco exhibition and celebrated Parisian art and craftsmanship. The week also marks Demna's departure from Balenciaga after a decade, with anticipation building for the debut of Maison Margiela's new chief creative.
