Louis Vuitton Captures 80s Vibe at Paris Fashion Week Finale

Louis Vuitton concluded Paris Fashion Week with its spring/summer 2027 collection, presented in the Cour Carrée du Louvre. Artistic director Nicolas Ghesquiere's designs drew inspiration from historical references while maintaining a contemporary feel.

The collection featured strong tailoring, including sharp black trouser suits, contrasted with softer pieces like white and pale pink slip dresses. The show's soundtrack notably included Tom Jones's 1986 cover of Prince's hit "Kiss," evoking an 1980s atmosphere.

Among the notable attendees was actress Zendaya, who made her sole appearance of the week. The 30-year-old debuted a shorter, darker pixie cut and wore a white vest with boyfriend jeans, a white lace jacket with frilled detailing, and high white heels.

Brand ambassador Emma Stone, 37, arrived in a cobalt blue suit characterized by wide lapels and pronounced 80s-style power shoulders. She accessorized with a black Louis Vuitton handbag and matching stilettos.

Other celebrities present included actresses Jennifer Connelly, 55, Sophie Turner, 30, and Saoirse Ronan, 32. Connelly opted for a black coordinated set adorned with colorful lace, while Turner wore a leather-inspired outfit. Ronan appeared in a red striped jumper paired with a suede leather skirt.

The event's location on the cobblestones of the Louvre courtyard presented a challenge for guests, many of whom navigated the uneven surface in ultra-high heels reminiscent of the 1980s fashion era.
