It’s Paris Haute Couture Week, the spring/summer 2026 edition. It may be a lean schedule in terms of shows — as per the Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode’s famously strict quotas — but there’s still plenty of buzz to get caught up in.
The two hottest couture debuts on the schedule are Jonathan Anderson’s for Christian Dior (which played out on January 26) and Matthieu Blazy’s for Chanel on January 27. These follow the designers’ rightfully hyped womenswear debuts last September. Legacies will also be honoured, with the first Valentino and Armani Privé shows since the death of the houses’ eponymous founders.
But as well as dazzling design and craftsmanship, there’s no shortage of famous faces to be spotted in the French capital, from Rihanna at Dior to the Beckhams stepping out for the first time since Brooklyn’s Instagram bombshell to collect Victoria’s Chevalière de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
