According to AP News, Seated VIP guests were sweatily crammed in together inside the Le Marais venue, waiting as the show started an hour late. While outside, screaming members of the public braved the rain for hours just for a glimpse of their favorite stars, who included Zendaya, Naomi Campbell, Florence Pugh, Erykah Badu and Ashley Park.
There’s no doubt who designed Zendaya’s latest look for Paris Fashion Week.
The “Euphoria” star wore the Valentino logo from top to bottom as she sat in the front row for the fashion house’s spring/summer 2023 presentation on Sunday. Her outfit featured a dazzling black blazer, shorts, and a sheer bodysuit with the brand’s iconic “V” logo emblazoned in jewels.
For accessories, the Emmy-winning performer went for chandelier earrings and a simple ring. She wore her hair straight with a sleek side-part and added a slick of brick red lipstick to finish the ensemble.
Zendaya sat with her longtime stylist Law Roach and Naomi Campbell at the show. She was also photographed hanging out with Florence Pugh, Dove Cameron, and “Emily in Paris” actress Ashley Park at the event according to Insider.
“Cuts and transparencies reveal the persona,” the brand said of designer Pierpaolo Piccioli’s glitzy spring collection that mixed gimmicks with moments of thoughtful fashion skill.
Models with faces and necks completely covered in disturbing interlocking “V” make-up began the show, introducing the theme of the reveal.
The exploration of inside-out or back-to-front continued in a beautiful nude skin-like top with matching nude pants speckled sparingly with diaphanous plumes on model Anna Cleveland.
The collection’s spring video featured a couple of lovers in a French country house seeking each other out and seemingly wearing each other’s clothes — a good theme for a co-ed fashion show.
The film’s use of light sat well with the fluidity of a loose white tuxedo suit on a bare chest, or a giant multicoloured foulard thrown nonchalantly over the male model’s naked shoulder. A cobalt blue one-shoulder piece was set off by the male model’s metallic, androgynous nail polish, according to The Washington Post.
