Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week is a playground for celebrities.

Rarely, in normal life, do people cross the globe to catch a piece of theatre that is approximately 10 minutes long. When couture clothes are involved, it is positively encouraged. Ditto bridal looks for the front row (cc: Kylie Jenner), “extreme” beauty (props to Doja Cat) and more showbiz cameos than a Taylor Swift concert (Avril Lavigne at Iris van Herpen!)
The autumn/winter 2024 presentations followed Vogue World: Paris, a celebration of fashion and sports through the decades, which shut down Place Vendôme (the usual setting of Schiaparelli’s seasonal spectacles), and saw Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner trot around the historic site on horseback. Many of the stars, from Sabrina Elba to Selma Blair, stayed in town to watch the couture fashion unfold.
See all the biggest names bringing conversation-starting outfits to the front row, below.
