If there's anyone who's perfect for a runway finale, it's Gigi Hadid. As Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 Menswear came to a close, the model posed in the city's iconic Place Vendôme as the last face of Vogue World's 2024 show. Marking her first time at the event and the second appearance of the evening after riding horses with Kendall Jenner dressed in head-to-toe Hermes. The designer tasked with creating Hadid's closing ensemble? None other than Balmain Creative Director Olivier Rousteing.

Since the show celebrated the last 100 years of fashion with a focus on French designers and its intersection with sports, it was only fitting that Rousteing drew inspiration from his home country. The jaw-dropping look served as a brilliant fusion of the free-spirited creativity of the show with the city's luxe factor, including an extravagant blue skirt and a gold metal-like top that called for a slew of artisanal ateliers.
