Overview:
Paris Fashion Week 2025 took place from September 29 to October 7, bringing together global designers, celebrities, and cultural icons. As one of the “Big Four” fashion weeks, alongside New York, London, and Milan, the Paris edition is often where art meets spectacle — and this year proved no different. From Meghan Markle’s royal surprise to Jaden Smith’s headline-making outfit, here are the moments that captured the world’s attention.
Paris Fashion Week 2025: Most Discussed Moments
Meghan Markle’s Royal Surprise
The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made an unannounced appearance at Balenciaga’s Spring 2026 show, drawing instant media attention. Markle, who attended to support her friend Pierpaolo Piccioli in his debut as the House’s Creative Director, wore an oversized white cape over a loose-fitting suit paired with black heels. The look sparked online debate — some admired its elegance, while others compared it humorously to bed sheets.
Nicole Kidman’s Appearance with Daughters
At Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2026 show, Nicole Kidman turned heads by bringing her daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret to the runway event — marking her first major public appearance since divorce proceedings began with Keith Urban. In a symbolic family moment, her eldest daughter, Rose Kidman-Urban (17), also walked the runway for Dior earlier in the week, signaling a new generation of celebrity influence in high fashion.
Demi Lovato Goes Pantless
Pop star Demi Lovato made waves — and headlines — with a bold, pantless look. Wearing a form-fitting bodysuit paired with sheer tights, Lovato’s outfit sparked both controversy and admiration, embodying the unapologetic self-expression Paris Fashion Week has come to represent.
Heidi Klum’s Sheer Lace Statement
At VETEMENTS’ Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 runway show on October 3, supermodel Heidi Klum, 52, arrived with her daughter Leni Klum wearing a sheer lace gown layered under a gray overcoat. The transparent ensemble quickly became a viral moment, praised by some as a bold statement about confidence and age inclusivity in fashion.
Jaden Smith’s Red “Diaper” Look
Known for his experimental style, Jaden Smith turned heads once again with a striking red “diaper-inspired” outfit. The eccentric look drew mixed reactions — from amusement to admiration — but perfectly encapsulated Smith’s fearless approach to self-expression on and off the runway.
