I always think about Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week as if it were the cooler, older sister to all of the other fashion week events. Simultaneously dramatic and exuberant—but equally polished and refined, the week-long event promises abundant theatrics and exquisite design, and thus attracts a crowd of an equally effervescent essence.
Inspired as ever by how the French dress themselves across the day-to-day, naturally I was all-the-more intrigued by the street style across Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2024. From dramatic jewels to lingerie-inspired layers, read on to discover the five street style trends that France’s most stylish were wearing this week.
