Actress Anya Taylor-Joy led the stylish arrivals at the Dior Paris Fashion Week SS27 show in the Jardin des Tuileries on Tuesday afternoon.
The 30-year-old star ensured all eyes were on her at the fashion showcase, wearing a sheer black lace top with a caped back. Inside the venue, she held out her hands to reveal the detailed cape structure of the garment.
She paired the sheer lace top with a matching pencil skirt and scarf, completing her look with elegant black court shoes and styling her icy blonde locks in soft curls. Taylor-Joy is an acclaimed actress who has maintained prominent ambassadorial ties with major luxury fashion houses.
Fellow actress Jennifer Lawrence, 36, opted for a pale blue silk maxi dress featuring delicate lace detailing. The Die My Love star styled her outfit with strappy heels and rectangular black sunglasses, wearing her dark blonde hair in beachy waves. Lawrence, an Academy Award winner, has frequently represented Christian Dior at major global fashion events.
Singer Rihanna was pictured taking her place on the front row for the runway presentation. She wore a black shirt dress featuring a sizzling thigh slit, styling her curly hair swept up in a bun and accessorising with oval shades. The pop icon and businesswoman is widely recognised as a global style influence.
Celebrity arrivals and front row guests
Model Miranda Kerr also selected blue for the showcase, wearing a strappy dress designed with a V-neckline and gathered material at the waist of the garment. Both Jennifer Lawrence and Miranda Kerr stunned in complementary shades of blue at the event. Kerr is an Australian supermodel who gained international fame as a former Victoria's Secret Angel.
Inside the venue, Jennifer Lawrence shared a sweet embrace with singer Rosalia on the front row. The pair sat together and were deep in conversation ahead of the show starting, with Jennifer putting on an animated display while conversing with Rosalia.
Rosalia wore a black gown featuring a white floral applique as she was pictured leaving The Ritz hotel in Paris ahead of the show. The Grammy Award-winning Spanish singer is known for blending traditional flamenco with modern urban music.
High fashion designs and runway collection
The event presented creative director Jonathan Anderson's third ready-to-wear womenswear collection for Dior. Paris Fashion Week SS27 runs from September 28 to October 6, with Dior among the major houses presenting this season. Paris Fashion Week is one of the fashion industry's core biannual showcases held in the French capital.
The runway show focused on nature and organic imagery, featuring references to the nut and the tree. Event invitations reportedly included hand-rolled Chinese wenwan walnuts, which are traditional collectible walnuts crafted for hand exercises.
Teasers released ahead of the presentation included swan-shaped minaudieres, fruit imagery, trumpet-flower earrings, floral heels and seashells. A minaudiere is a small, decorative evening handbag, and the whimsical accessories suggested a continuation of Anderson's playful treatment of Dior heritage.
Jonathan Anderson took over the role from Maria Grazia Chiuri, who joined in 2016 as Dior's first female artistic director of women's haute couture, ready-to-wear and accessories. Anderson also replaced Kim Jones last year, who served as artistic director of Dior menswear for seven years.
Anderson's appointment followed an impressive 11-year tenure at the head of Spanish luxury label Loewe, a role he held while remaining head of JW Anderson, which has enjoyed collaborations with retail giant UNIQLO since 2017. The designer has won several high-profile awards, including Designer of the Year at the 2024 Fashion Awards in December for the second year in a row. Christian Dior SE, founded in 1946, remains one of the world's most historic luxury fashion houses.
Glamorous attendees in the French capital
British model and TV presenter Alexa Chung cut a typically chic figure as she left her hotel in Paris and made her way to the show. She wore a double-breasted grey jacket with blue jeans, a white blouse and strappy heels. Chung has long been a fixture of the international fashion week circuit.
Fashion maven Kate Moss was also pictured at the show, wearing a floaty turquoise dress belted around her waist and teamed with round shades. Moss is one of Britain's most legendary supermodels, having risen to world fame during the 1990s.
