Paris Outshines NYC: Le Grand Dîner du Louvre Dazzles with Supermodels and Couture
Ah, Paris — the city of light, love, and apparently, the sartorial high ground over New York! While we eagerly await the 2025 Met Gala, the fashion world was abuzz with glamour at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre, an event that unofficially carves out its own place in the pantheon of high fashion, right alongside its American counterpart. As reported by People Magazine, this star-studded soirée on March 5 celebrated the Louvre’s first fashion exhibit, “Louvre Couture: Art and Fashion — Statement Pieces,” showcasing over 100 rare designs by 45 illustrious designers — a veritable feast for the eyes and a palate for the fashion-savvy.
Supermodels galore strutted their stuff, with Tyra Banks leading the charge in a jaw-dropping embellished Mônot coat by Eli Mizrahi. Sporting a daring short “wet sculpted” hairstyle, Banks took to her Instagram to express her awe at the event, a sentiment many attendees surely shared. Next-gen fashion icons Taylor Hill and Barbara Palvin also made headlines, donning sheer Iris Van Herpen couture gowns that rivaled even the most extravagant Parisian art pieces. Hill’s metallic bodice and Palvin’s thigh-high split were nothing short of show-stoppers.
Not to be outdone, Hollywood A-listers like Michelle Yeoh and Gigi Hadid brought their A-game with striking hair transformations. Yeoh’s dramatic bob and bleached brows matched her edgy latex dress, while Hadid swapped her golden locks for a cool silver side-swept do, courtesy of celebrity stylist Dimitris Giannetos. The fashion-forward atmosphere was further amplified by Doechii, who, fresh off her Grammy win, dazzled in a custom Valentino ball gown that took over 800 hours to craft. Talk about dedication!
And let’s not overlook the gothic romance of Paris Jackson’s Iris Van Herpen design, a sleeveless wonder that turned heads for its sheer elegance. Meanwhile, Naomi Campbell showcased a classic sculpted beehive hairstyle paired with a chic hot pink coat, proving once again that some trends are truly timeless.
David and Victoria Beckham were the dynamic duo of the evening, sporting monochromatic outfits that screamed sophistication. With contributions from supermodels and the crème de la crème of Hollywood, it’s clear that Paris isn’t just a city; it’s a runway ready to steal the spotlight.
