The fall 2023 couture week shows kicked off on Monday in Paris. And while the splendid creations on the runway will surely exemplify creativity and innovation to the highest degree, the front rows—and the celebrities who occupy them—will have just as many people talking. After all, it’s a chance for A-listers to embrace peacocking and make bold fashion statements for the paparazzi. Why would this season be any different?
The first day of the couture shows certainly didn’t disappoint. This morning at Schiaparelli, Cardi B emerged wearing Daniel Roseberry’s black column gown with gold trimming, punctuated by an extra-shaggy cape. The drama! At Iris van Herpen, stars such as Latto, Maisie Williams, and Camila Cabello embraced the designer’s sculptural silhouettes. Couture is all about the avant-garde—not a time for playing it safe. At Christian Dior, meanwhile, stars played it more classic and glamorous: Natalie Portman, for one, shined in Maria Grazia Chiuri’s strapless, floral-printed day dress.
And the fun is only just getting started. With a week of celebrity spotting still ahead of us, be sure to check back on this post to see all of the best front row fashion moments updated in real time. It’s a star-studded style spectacle you simply won’t want to miss.
