Couture Week Signals Bold Fashion Choices & These Stars Delivered On That Front
Cardi B understood the assignment.
Your favorite A-list stars have jetted off to Paris for Haute Couture Week, where fashion houses like Chanel, Armani Privé, and Dior — to name a few — have set the bar high for debuting one-of-a-kind collections. Although the clothes on the runway are extravagant and skillfully crafted, so too were the front-row looks worn by celebrities to Fall/Winter 2023 Couture shows. Indeed, your favorite stars like Cardi B brought the drama via a Schiaparelli dress and oversized jacket. Meanwhile, Diane Keaton did eye-catching fashion her own way in a Thom Browne gray suit complete with a whimsical dog-shaped raffia bag.
As you can likely already tell, stars are living by the motto, “go big or go home” in the City of Love. Still, there were some people who opted for more minimalist and neutral separates that spoke more to their pared-down personal style. Natalie Portman, for instance, wore a silky strapless Dior dress that reflected her penchant for feminine flared frocks while Riley Keough rocked a glittery ‘70s jumpsuit her Daisy Jones & The Six character would’ve likely approved of. Additionally, plenty of Hollywood stars like Kate Hudson and Camila Morrone chose two-piece looks instead of a classic gown.
If there was any time to break fashion boundaries, Haute Couture Week is it. Ahead, find several looks that instantly grabbed our attention and may have even accounted for an actual jaw drop.
