Found: All The Best Street Style Looks From Couture Week In Paris
Keep scrolling for endless glamour.
Though the runways might not have looked too different — fashion week street style hasn’t been quite the same since last March 2020 when influencers and editors rushed home from Paris Fashion Fall/Winter 2020 (some leaving even earlier than expected). In fact, over the past few seasons, only a limited number of show-goers were captured outside on the quiet streets. But Fall 2021 Haute Couture street style is proof that the energy is back, and the outfits are more glamorous than ever.
The fashion set kicked off the festivities in the City of Lights at Dior where they strolled into the venue decked out in the brand’s signature logo print, as well as its glitzy hair accessories and jewelry. While they might have tuned in to the shows from home over the past year, your favorite street style influencers — including Leonie Hanne, Xenia Adonts, and Géraldine Boublil — are making a return. Not to mention celebrities such as Katy Perry and Suki Waterhouse, as well as models like Bella Hadid and Joan Smalls in attendance this couture season.
And as it turns out, the low 70-degree temperatures allowed for the opportunity to experiment with a variety of layered pieces like statement coats, sweater vests, mini dresses, and chunky boots. Meaning, not only do you have summer outfit inspiration, but you’ll have plenty of styles that’ll hold you over until mid-fall.
The schedule this week is buzzing with heavy-hitters like Fendi and Chanel (and Balenciaga’s first couture show in over 50 years!), so you can expect the streets to be filled with extravagant numbers. Below, find the best street style looks at Fall 2021 Haute Couture in Paris captured by Darrel Hunter. Of course, make sure to keep checking back for more can't-miss moments.
