The renowned Place Vendome in Paris hosted the Vogue World 2024 event, which drew a chic group of celebrities to the front row. Elegant A-listers saw a unique presentation that combined sports like cycling, gymnastics, tennis, and fencing with a decade in French fashion dating back to the 1920s from their VIP seats. French designers—both historical and contemporary—were highlighted, and there were even a few unexpected performances. Even though the runway show had several eye-catching design moments, the crowd’s ensembles of attendees also had some really amazing looks.
Cara Delevinge In Jean Paul Gaultier Couture
The stars of the evening with the best outfits tended toward drama and excitement. Among the highlights was livestream host Cara Delevingne, who resurrected the conical bra with an outfit inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier couture.
Cara Delevingne stole the spotlight not just by attending but by hosting the event in a remarkable outfit. She wore a striking pink corset dress designed by Simone Rocha for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2024 Haute Couture collection. The dress featured layered designs, accentuated by ribbons, ruffled shorts, and playful conical breasts/horns, blending Simone Rocha’s ultra-feminine style with Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic elements such as corsetry and lingerie.
The ensemble was completed with ballet flats and a sailor’s hat, adding a whimsical touch to the evening’s theme of celebrating the evolution of style over the last century.
While Simone Rocha’s runway show had a ton of eye-catching pieces. Emma Chamberlain had the audacity to choose a skimpy Rick Owens outfit that included a tiny bra top. Some celebrities adopted a classic look, such as Alexa Chung, who wore an autumn 2005 Viktor & Rolf gown with a historic rose motif.
What about some of the evening’s most elegantly attired gentlemen?
Athlete Russell Westbrook modernized suits by donning a two-piece khaki suit without a shirt. On the red carpet, designer Pharrell Williams demonstrated why he was his own inspiration by sporting a Louis Vuitton monogram purse. The Vogue World Paris event celebrated the intersection of fashion and sports, showcasing various decades and honoring both sports and French designers.
Serena Williams Striking Appearance
Serena Williams made a striking appearance in a custom Off-White gown designed by Ib Kamara. The dress featured a unique combination of a robin’s egg blue sport jersey top and a flowing silk georgette skirt. The design incorporated elements from Serena’s iconic on-court looks and included graphics that mixed Off-White’s signature codes with the text “Queen of Queens” on the dress’s white paneling.
