The atmosphere at last week’s fashion events was nothing short of spectacular: a fitting report card for the industry. As usual at fashion weeks, the excitement came from the creative ingenuity of designers, combining everyday clothes with stunning glamor on the red carpet. Paris Fashion Week transformed into a vibrant playground for fashion’s top players, where stars showcased their unique styles against a captivating backdrop. As designers unveiled their visions for the upcoming spring/summer collections, the BOF 500 Gala lit up the evening with bold and daring outfits, setting the tone for the season ahead.
This season may bring some surprises, but the fashion world is well prepared. The mood board-worthy ensembles we saw last week provided endless inspiration for fashionistas who like to stand out. A major trend was the addition of embellishments to otherwise simple silhouettes, with sparkle and shine dominating both partywear and sophisticated daywear. It was clear that everyone wanted to make unforgettable statements. Heavy fur coats stood out, alongside high-slit dresses that exuded elegance and flair.
The looks
Beyonce traded her cowgirl aesthetic for a dazzling party look at Sir Davis’ launch party in Paris. Dressed in a stunning gold Gucci dress, she oozed vintage glamour, accessorizing with a hand-crystallized Chrishabana clutch that resembled the Sir David whiskey bottle. From her metallic platform shoes to her old Hollywood-inspired blonde waves, everything about her look sparkled. Meanwhile, her protégé, Chloe Baileyclearly got the memo and arrived in a shimmering deep red dress layered with a luxurious fur coat. Together they showed off a powerful moment in rich aunt chic.
Cardi B has weathered the storm surrounding her marriage Offset with unmistakable style during the Paris Fashion Week of September 2024, accompanied by her stylist, Kollin Carter. She wowed the crowd in an all-black Mugler ensemble, with a hairstyle that mirrored the neckline of the dress. She then turned heads in a Halloween-inspired look by Rick Owens in shades of brown, complete with a futuristic hooded silhouette and gothic beauty choices. Cardi also dressed for the weather in a striking green Balmain fur coat dress paired with chunky Vivienne Westwood shoes. With every look, she silenced her critics with her sartorial authority.
While some attendees opted for vintage designs to achieve a timeless appeal, Ayo Edebiri made a striking statement in a fresh Loewe dress from the catwalk at the BOF 500 Gala in Paris. The impressive number, from Loewe’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection, highlighted traditional florals and textures, while also emphasizing innovative tailoring and distinct silhouettes. At first glance, Edebiri’s dress may seem like a classic midi floral arrangement, but the structured underwear supporting the sheer overlay added a unique twist.
