HERTFORDSHIRE, United Kingdom (VOICE OF NAIJA) – Paris Fashion Week seldom disappoints – and this season is no exception, as editors, influencers, buyers, models and celebrities flooded the French capital for the fashion merry-go-round.
Kendall Jenner, Aishwarya Rai Bachan, Elle Fanning and Eva Longoria, stormed the runway as L’Oreal launch the Walk Your Worth show near Eiffel Tower during Paris Fashion Week.
Accentuating her slender physique in an elegant silver gown, Kendall, 27, inevitably claimed the spotlight as the event got underway.
This precedent was set early by Dior, who showed on Tuesday, 26 September, and welcomed an all-star cast including actors Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jenna Ortega and Robert Pattinson.
Later that evening, Kate Moss, Demi Moore and Zoë Kravitz happily led arrivals to Saint Laurent fashion show, with the Eiffel Tower as a backdrop. While actors Austin Butler, Emma Mackey and Naomi Ackie were also in attendance.
Models Hailey Bieber, Alek Wek and Soo Joo-Park swapped the runway for a seat on Tuesday evening, while London guests included Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, who arrived arm-in-arm with his half-sister Lourdes Leon. Also in attendance were Iris Law and model Sabrina Elba.
On Wednesday, Marni seated guests – including Erykah Badu, Usher and Damson Idris – part inside, part al fresco in the Parisian sunshine. But the evening was reserved for Balmain.
After 50 garments were stolen from the line, Olivier Rousteing pulled it out of the bag and drew an impressive crowd.
The f’row has led by Kim Cattrall, who was elegant as ever in a croc-effect leather blazer and pencil skirt, alongside US actor Lucy Hale and British actor and model Jodie Turner-Smith.

Thursday morning started with Kylie Jenner, who was every inch a lady in red as she arrived at Acne Studios’ morning show.
The reality star and beauty mogul was revealed as the new face of the brand in a mud-covered shoot for its August campaign.
The Jenners held the spotlight that evening at Schiaparelli as well; Kylie glistened in a diamante encrusted gown on the front row, whilst her sister Kendall strutted the runway in a lobster-red dress to close the show. A nod to the brand’s famous motif.
Celebrities including Cher, Nicola Coughlan, singer Joy Crookes, and Destiny Child’s Kelly Rowland were present as luxury jewellery label Messika signalled Thursday’s dazzling finale.
For Loewe show-goers, Friday morning started with a drive to its 14th century venue, Château of Vincennes.
It was attended the freshest faces of the Spanish house; actors-of-the-moment Greta Lee and Taylor Russell, alongside singer Troye Sivan, model Emily Ratajkowski, and Kris Jenner.
The Kardahsian moments kept coming later that afternoon, when Kim slinked in to a waiting crowd at Victoria Beckham’s spring/summer 24 collection.

Kendall Jenner walked the show, as the Beckham brigade (consisting of husband David, children Harper, Cruz and Brooklyn, and the latter’s wife, Nicola Peltz-Beckham) clapped on the front row.
Pamela Anderson was the star at Vivienne Westwood, on Saturday, wearing a witchy hat, black leather boots and bundled in an oversized, checked, tweed trench coat.
Her worthy seat mates included model and actor Christina Hendricks and activist Munroe Bergdorf.
Saturday’s evening slot was reserved for Alexander McQueen, which promised an all-star turn-out to see off Sarah Burton, the house’s creative director for more than a decade, who will now step down. And an emotional moment it was; as Burton took her bow, she was embraced by fashion’s great and good on the catwalk.
Cate Blanchett, Elle Fanning, Anna Wintour and Edward Enninful all received a coveted hug, as did fashion critics, Sarah Mower, Tim Blanks and Cathy Horyn.
Later on Sunday, actors Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfied, donned their dusty pink to watch the Valentino show.
