Paris Fashion Week always closes out fashion month with drama, debuts, and the occasional existential crisis. This season? No different. SS26 is shaping up like a soap opera in couture, with house-shaking appointments, eco-rallies, and a runway literally painted in technicolor. Here’s what’s made us gasp, applaud, and side-eye (in the best way).

A Dior Debut with Pop Girl Energy

Jonathan Anderson finally had his Dior moment, and it was star-studded to say the least. Rosalía? Jisoo? All present. The collection? Let’s just say “archival romance meets weird layering” and leave it there.

Zomer Made a Mess, And We Loved It

The runway was drenched in multi-colored paint. Practical? No. Iconic? Absolutely. Fashion is art and Zomer clearly said, “fine, let’s be literal.”

Stella McCartney’s Eco Anthem

Centre Pompidou turned into a climate rally when Helen Mirren opened the show with The Beatles’ “Come Together.” Yes, Dame Helen. Materials were upcycled, denim literally cleaned the air as it moved, and the finale swapped feathers for plant-based “Fevvers.” Save the Earth, but make it slay.

Torishéju Dumi’s Beautifully Strange Uniforms

Naomi Campbell opened, as she does. The “DŪRER” collection flipped familiar silhouettes into uncanny territory: sculptural Kangol hats (Princess Diana-coded), wooden beads exploring hollowness in the digital age. Deep, cerebral, and still wearable. The industry darling keeps industry-darling-ing.

Olivier Rousteing’s Balmain Boho Moment

Returning to the ballroom where it all began in 2011, Olivier Rousteing traded baroque excess for boho vibes. Don’t panic—there was still fringe for days, seashells for mermaid-core lovers, and enough ’80s power silhouettes to satisfy anyone still addicted to shoulder pads.

Fashion week isn’t over yet, but if the rest is as extra as this, prepare your group chats—screenshots will be flying.
