The Gemstone-Coated Vans Sneakers SZA Wears "Specifically for Paris Fashion Week" Belong in Every Front Row

SZA attended the Louis Vuitton menswear show in custom Vans sneakers.

The January 20 Louis Vuitton's Fall 2026 Menswear show didn't just present designer Pharrell Williams's 80-look line. Vans artistic director SZA used her front-row seat to spotlight custom, gemstone-coated sneakers.

Marking her first fashion show since 2022, SZA arrived at Paris Men's Fashion Week wearing almost head-to-toe Louis Vuitton (minus her bespoke Vans). First, stylist Briana Andalore dressed her in an oversize white button-down, layered beneath a brown leather coat. Utilizing the French tuck technique (how fitting), the Grammy winner paired the top with gray pinstripe trousers. Its vertical stripes complemented her Louis Vuitton Speedy Bag, which debuted in Williams's Spring 2026 Men's show. SZA carried it by the two top handles, while the crossbody strap grazed her legs.
