Gigi Hadid commanded attention on the runway at the Balenciaga Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday, sporting a striking, elaborate feathered headpiece. The 31-year-old model's surprise appearance at the brand's 55th couture collection presentation, held at 10 Avenue George V, was a highlight for the star-studded audience.
The ensemble featured a voluminous feathered headpiece by Philip Treacy, paired with simple black trousers. In a behind-the-scenes video, Hadid twirled for the camera, revealing that she had opted to go braless to showcase a completely bare back.
The collection itself, marking Pierpaolo Piccioli's debut as Creative Director for Balenciaga, paid homage to the brand's 1967 archive. It included dramatic plumes of pink feathers, sleek leather and cashmere coats, and fluffy lilac dresses.
A-list celebrities were in attendance, with Demi Moore and her daughter Tallulah Willis among the guests. Moore, 63, wore sunglasses, a jacket, and a black skirt, while Willis, 32, chose a lime green puffball skirt and a cream top.
Other notable attendees included Shailene Woodley in a slinky black dress, Cynthia Erivo in a sparkly brown gown, Naomi Watts in a white shirt and trousers, and Teyana Taylor in a brown satin dress.
Hadid's attendance at Paris Fashion Week follows her recent appearance at a highly publicized event. She was seen wearing a sparkling pink gown at what was reportedly Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding over the weekend in New York City. The couple's nuptials were attended by a large number of celebrities.
