Add Texture to GoogleBetween September 28 and October 6, 2026, the French capital once again served as the epicenter of the global fashion world. Under the auspices of the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode, this edition—dedicated to women’s ready-to-wear for the Spring/Summer 2027 season—featured a packed schedule of 68 runway shows and some 30 presentations. From the opening show by Julie Kegels to the traditional closing show by Louis Vuitton, the event generated massive media coverage, with estimates of earned media value (EMV) ranging from $795 million to $1.2 billion—a nearly 60% increase over the previous year.
Jennifer Lopez: The Art of Monochrome and the Test of the Streets
On September 30, 2026, Jennifer Lopez made a striking appearance at the British ambassador’s residence for the Stella McCartney fashion show. For the occasion, the artist wore a structured ensemble in shades of chocolate brown and cognac. Her outfit consisted of a fitted midi dress with pronounced shoulder pads, accentuated by a belt at the waist. The centerpiece of this look was a striking matching faux fur stole that swept the floor. The ensemble was completed by a black polka-dot fishnet veil, caramel-colored slingback heels, and a soft clutch that matched the texture of her coat.
The day before, in a more casual yet equally scrutinized look, the singer had opted for a contrasting aesthetic during an outing on Rue Saint-Honoré. She wore a flowing ivory lace slip dress, unexpectedly paired with flat black loafers and white knee-high socks. Wearing aviator sunglasses and carrying a Dior handbag, she had to deal with the pressure from photographers in a chaotic crowd that led her to speak up and ask for calm to be restored.
The Next Generation of Klums and Lou Samuel’s Debut
On October 3, 2026, the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood fashion show was the setting for a meaningful family moment. Heidi Klum attended the event accompanied by her youngest daughter, 16-year-old Lou Samuel. This outing marked the young woman’s first official appearance at Paris Fashion Week. For the event, Heidi Klum chose an all-white ensemble, while Lou Samuel wore an outfit in earthy and brown tones.
Later that evening, the mother-daughter duo attended The BoF 500 gala held at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris. Their joint appearance underscores a passing of the torch within the fashion world, as Lou Samuel begins to make her own public mark, distinct from her older sister Leni, who is already active in modeling.
Paris Jackson: From Dark Glamour to Neo-Punk
Paris Jackson made numerous appearances throughout the week, exploring a variety of styles. On September 30, she attended the Tom Ford show at Place Vendôme, wearing an all-black ensemble true to the brand’s “dark glamour” aesthetic. A few days later, on October 3, she took a front-row seat at the Vivienne Westwood show in a punk-chic-inspired look. Her outfit featured a semi-sheer top adorned with a black-and-pink floral pattern, accented by intense black smoky eye makeup.
Her Parisian itinerary also took her to the Ralph Lauren Women’s Polo Blaze cocktail party at Ralph’s restaurant on October 2, before wrapping up her week at the Shangri-La for The BoF 500 gala. Her constant presence highlights the overlap between musical heritage and the luxury industry, where she showcases a visual identity marked by gothic and sophisticated influences.
Surprises on the Runways and in the Front Row
Beyond the usual front-row regulars, this season was punctuated by unexpected appearances. Zendaya was spotted at the Louis Vuitton show, reaffirming her status as a key ambassador for the week’s finale. On the runways, Miu Miu made headlines by featuring actress Olivia Colman as a guest model. Another notable appearance was that of Apple Martin, who took her first official steps on a runway during this Spring/Summer 2027 season.
Although the pieces worn by celebrities in the front row were from collections not yet available to the public or were custom-made, more accessible accessories—such as Dior leather goods or Stella McCartney designs spotted on Jennifer Lopez—remain the commercial cornerstones of this global visibility. The event concluded with stable attendance figures, confirming Paris’s resilience as a launchpad for the trends of 2027.
