FASHION WEEK — HAUTE COUTURE
Haute Couture Week is my favorite moment in the fashion calendar, a true celebration of craftsmanship, where each piece represents hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of hours of work, extraordinary attention to detail, and the purest expression of a designer’s creativity.
DAY 1 — Georges Hobeika “L’AMOUR”
Like every season, this week feels incredibly special. We began on Monday, January 26th, with the Georges Hobeika “L’AMOUR” show — and I absolutely loved it. Each collection feels more refined and beautiful than the last.
The silhouettes felt regal, romantic, and timeless, with a strong sense of modern royalty. One of my favorite details was the delicate pearls hanging like chandeliers, adding movement, light, and a poetic touch to each look. I also fell in love with the tiaras used as accessories, some worn slightly tilted back — very romantic, yet with a modern edge.
For the show, I was wearing a dress from the FW26 collection:
Wearing a couture dream. A sculpted silhouette in warm taupe, embroidered with golden details that feel like jewelry on the skin. Elegant and timeless.
Here, I’m sharing some of my favorite dresses from the show, true works of art that capture the magic of this collection.
DAY 2 — Stéphane Rolland
As I shared on my Instagram post: “A dream come true that I never get used to.”
This was my fourth time walking the Haute Couture runway for Stéphane Rolland, and each season feels just as extraordinary as the last — from the venue and the gowns to the jewelry, the thousands of hours of handcrafted work, and, of course, the incredible creativity of Stéphane and his entire team.
Having such important personalities among the guests, including the First Lady of France, always makes me feel a little nervous moments before stepping onto the runway — I guess it’s all part of the emotion.
This time, I had two exits, wearing two spectacular looks:
“CUBIQUE” jacket and high-waisted trousers in black duchess satin, embroidered with black plexiglass mosaics. N°3
Long draped cape-sleeve dress in white linen embroidered with sequins, paired with the “Feather Strokes” necklace in white gold and diamonds. N°29
DAY 3 — Zuhair Murad
Once again, Zuhair Murad delivered an absolutely breathtaking show. It’s incredible how season after season, he continues to surpass himself.
This time, the inspiration, felt across many designers, but especially strong in this collection, was deeply connected to monarchy: fitted silhouettes with classic cuts, modern embroidery, and exquisite detailing, all designed to enhance the feminine figure and highlight the curves in a delicate and elegant way.
I loved the collection, but what captivated me most, once again, was the inspiration itself. Everything had a strong Versailles feeling — kings, queens, princesses. Seeing a collection inspired by this world was truly beautiful.
It’s always an honor to be part of a Zuhair Murad show. Here I’m sharing my look, along with some of my favorite dresses from the collection.
And… I think I might seriously be considering wearing Zuhair Murad for something very important I have coming up this year.
DAY 4 — Phan Huy
To close Haute Couture Week, on the final day I had the honor of walking for Phan Huy, the first Vietnamese and youngest designer to present on the official Paris Fashion Week Couture calendar.
Being part of this beginning filled me with emotion. Watching the doors of this extraordinary world open for such a young designer connected me deeply with my own beginnings — when I was 16 years old, coming to Paris for the first time, and slowly seeing doors start to open for me as well.
Love
