Kaia Gerber is no stranger to chic fashion, given many of her recent appearances have followed the trend. After getting enough time to unwind from her Cabo vacation, she started the new year by attending W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party. Gerber embraced her inner minimalistic soul to don a polka-dot dress. What is more interesting is that she was able to effortlessly pull off two different polka-dot patterns in a single ensemble. After all, simplicity mixed with boldness has been one of the most prominent styles for the star.

Kaia Gerber is a timeless beauty in this chic Valentino dress

Kaia Gerber extended her loyalty to minimalism in a brand new look. The actor attended W Magazine’s Annual Best Performances Party at Chateau Marmont last weekend. She made her appearance in a polka-dot dress that embraced timeless elegance while exuding a chic vibe. The contrasting colors of the fabric and the patterns were a masterful technique to draw people’s attention to the piece. Gerber also posted pictures of her look and glam on Instagram, which only looked more exquisite because of her Cabo tan.

For the W Magazine party, Kaia Gerber wore a Valentino dress designed by the luxury fashion house’s creative director Alessandro Michele. The strapless outfit featured a sweetheart neckline and a ruched bodice with a ribbon. It extended to an asymmetrical skirt with a risque thigh-high slit. Meanwhile, the gown blended contradictory polka-dot prints that proved that an out-of-the-ordinary fit has the potential to work wonders. The white fitted top had black polka-dots while the black flowing skirt bore white polka-dot patterns.

To bring a sense of completion to the fit, Kaia Gerber’s gown was accentuated with a turquoise bow. This complemented the cascading polka-dot ribbon from the bodice. Keeping her Valentino dress in the spotlight, the model wore the most minimal of accessories, which included only stud earrings. She completed the look with black pointed-toe heels.

Meanwhile, makeup artist Yukari Obayashi Bush gave Gerber a bold glam for the evening. Hairstylist Bryce Scarlett styled her hair open with soft curls cascading down her shoulders.

Kaia Gerber keeps proving that she knows how to pull off a flirty and summery vibe with her outfits. Moreover, she does not shy away from taking fashion risks, which works in her favor as she manages to stand out from the crowd.

Chioma Nnadi is now 10 issues deep into her tenure as British Vogue‘s head of editorial content. You may not need reminding that we here at theFashionSpot have been far from smitten with Nnadi’s vision for the magazine. Not even covers featuring the likes of FKA Twigs, Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, Florence Pugh, and SZA have been enough to impress. Nnadi opts to kick-start the new year by welcoming model-of-the-moment Angelina Kendall as a British Vogue cover star for January 2025. The Brazilian-Kiwi beauty, who scored campaigns for Zara, Fendi, and Tom Ford since bursting on the fashion scene, poses for photographer Mikael Jansson. Angelina takes to the busy streets of London in the cover photograph, styled by Ib Kamara in a ruffled dress from Alessandro Michele’s Spring 2025 Valentino collection.

Angelina Kendall on the Cover of British Vogue January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“I’m so happy for Angelina Kendall but the cover is really boring,” voiced prylvi.

“Such a wasted opportunity,” kokobombon sighed.

“Why pick such a blurry, unfocused, and busy cover image to herald the making of a new supermodel? ” quizzed vogue28. “I love Angelina Kendall but this is such a wasted opportunity. Not impressed!”

Thiago echoed: “Could’ve been great but it’s a disaster…”

Sharing the same sentiments was newton91: “WOW… what a disaster! You get a top model and this is what you come up with? Where’s the creativity? This is just so lazy!”

“Ugh, I’ve been praying for a big Angelina cover and it’s this? No,” disapproved Lucien112.

“I don’t hate it but this is giving me Teen Vogue prom shoot vibes,” forum member Kenny noted.

“Angelina Kendall is an undisputed star but these photos are unconvincing at best. A rare Jansson fail,” declared zoom.

Katie Grand and Bryan Grey Yambao at Perfect Magazine sure do know how to generate some buzz. The twosome kick-started 2024 by bringing Bella Hadid out of retirement. Supermodels Linda Evagelista, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell, and Kate Moss were ushered in as cover stars for Issue 6. Issue 6.5 went to Rihanna (as you’ve never seen her before). Issue 7 saw the Barbadian songstress swiftly welcomed back as cover star. The next global sensation to take to the cover of Perfect Magazine (this time for Issue 8) is Selena Gomez. The American singer, actress, and beauty mogul poses for photographer Morgan Maher on location in New York. Katie Grand styled Gomez over six collectible covers. Grand selected looks from DKNY, Saint Laurent, Simone Rocha, Valentino, Christopher Kane for Self-Portrait, and Self-Portrait for the occasion.

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Selena Gomez is always a NO for me,” stated DK92 upon digesting the covers.

“Always for me too,” replied vogue28. “On the magazine cover front, Selena via the lens of Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott for American Vogue [April 2017] remains the one to beat. I like the first cover shot. Perhaps I could have done without the juvenile circular art direction.”

Kaia Gerber’s Valentino tulle dress with a cape brought a playful, school-girl fashion moment to The Hollywood Reporter’s 2024 “Next Gen” event. Gerber’s ensemble was the latest creation of new creative director Alessandro Michele’s debut collection for the fashion house. On Wednesday, she sported the unique set, mixing old money style with casual wear, to THR and Instagram’s Next Gen 2024 party in Los Angeles and looked glamorous doing so.

Kaia Gerber makes unusual Valentino tulle cape dress & cotton socks work

In another iconic style, Kaia Gerber paired up a Valentino golden cape and tulle dress with casual knee-high socks for THR’s 2024 Next Gen party. She wore the set from Alessandro Michele’s Resort 2025 collection titled Avant les Débuts that only debuted this fall in one of the creative director’s first for the fashion house.

Michele’s entire collection comprised a total of 189 looks including Gerber’s tulle dress, reported Vogue. The heavily embellished two-piece set comprised a mini dress and the cape with a white-pearl hem at the bottom and complex beadwork in floral patterns.

The outlet stated how the fashion model prefers styling her looks these days and paired her latest ensemble with knee-high pointelle socks. In addition, Valentino posted about Gerber’s look in a since-deleted Instagram story, sharing more details about the outfit.

The fashion house noted that her lavender-colored footwear was the Garavani Bowow pumps from Michele’s debut collection. Gerber then went with neutral makeup tones, styling her brunette locks in soft curls, defining her eyebrows, and adding rosy blush and matching, glossy lip shade to complete the look.

Kaia Gerber’s styling of the gold Valentino cape and tulle dress for THR’s 2024 Next Gen easily transported the looks into something from the 1920s. The pearl detailing and the school-girl fashion further contributed to that fact. The cape, however, is proving to be a trend-setting clothing accessory. Very recently, Elle Fanning sported a somewhat similar cape design with her Valentino gown at the 2024 Governors Awards.

This occasion also marked the continuance of Gerber’s latest elegant fashion moments. She recently donned a stunning, pistachio-colored Gucci gown at the 2024 LACMA Art + Film Gala and channeled Audrey Hepburn in an ornate, vintage Alexander McQueen Givenchy gown.

Samira Nasr’s Harper’s Bazaar isn’t exactly an absolute must-have purchase for us when visiting our local newsstand. After all, the American fashion title has become extremely hit and miss. Covers throughout 2024 featuring the likes of Emma Corrin, Winona Ryder, Jennie, and Kendrick Lamar have failed to hit the spot. Yet on the opposite end of the scale, Regina King and a twosome of covers with Anok Yai and Christy Turlington have impressed us to no end. Nasr opts to close out the year by welcoming Miley Cyrus onto the cover of Harper’s Bazaar for December 2024/January 2025. The American singer-songwriter, actress, and current face of Dolce & Gabbana poses for Ethan James Green. Styled by Carlos Nazario, Cyrus is splashed across a duo of covers in looks from the Christian Dior and Valentino.

Miley Cyrus for Harper’s Bazaar December 2024/January 2025:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“LOVE THE 2ND COVER!” exclaimed GERGIN upon checking out the two covers.

“The second cover was more than enough. The first one is tragic,” chimed in GivenchyAddict.

“Those covers of Harper’s Bazaar with Anok Yai and Christy Turlington by Ethan James Green were some of my most favorite covers of the year. These, with Miley Cyrus, pale in comparison IMO. The closeup portrait cover is most definitely the standout of the two. The colors are gorgeous. The first cover feels a little… flat,” voiced vogue28.

MModa commented: “Love the first cover only. The color scheme is just perfect for December. It is fashion and the image pulls me in. The second cover does not appeal to me at all!”

“Beautiful! Always nice to see Miley Cyrus looking gorgeous!” added guimon.

At the 2024 Governors Awards, Elle Fanning went full sheer in a see-through Valentino gown with jewels, crystal embellishments, and a fur cape. For the annual event that the Academy calls a “kickoff” to the Oscars season, Fanning channeled an ice queen persona in the floor-length mint green dress just in time for the holiday season. She paired the look with her classic blonde hair that seemingly suited the occasion and accessorized with heavy rings. The 15th Governors Award happened on November 17 at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood in Los Angeles. 

Elle Fanning exudes glamor in see-through Valentino gown

Elle Fanning’s see-through Valentino gown for the 2024 Governors Awards was a sensational contribution to the ongoing sheer fashion trend. Like many actors, she dived into the nearly nude style in a glamorous gown from the luxury fashion house’s Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection. The plunging dress made its debut on the runway before Fanning rocked it at the red carpet event. She appeared straight out of a family tale in the heavily embellished, royal-looking ensemble that comprised a more dramatic addition — a cape.

The actor’s gown had rows of crystals stemming out of the torso of the outfit. The full-sleeved dress had fur linings on the wristband part and the bottom as it almost touched the floor. In addition, Fanning completed the ensemble by adding the adorned cape, which included a fur lining and was tied in the front.

Cosmopolitan reported that she also accessorized the look with two diamond rings and Cartier’s unique Mandragore 79.38 carats necklace. The 26-year-old kept her makeup modest to accentuate the allure of her outfit with only lush lips and her side-parted shoulder-length blonde hair.

Celebrity stylist Samantha McMillen masterminded Elle Fanning’s look and later shared photos of the actor’s look on her Instagram. In the caption, McMillen provided details regarding Fanning’s attire and also credited stylists who helped her create the exquisite appearance including hair and makeup.

Alessandro Michele means business as Valentino creative director. We got our unexpected first glimpse at the Italian designer’s vision for the iconic Italian fashion house in June, with the surprise unveiling of the Resort 2025 collection. Last month, during the Spring 2025 season of Paris Fashion Week, Michele staged his debut runway showcase as creative director and his first Valentino campaign imagery is here – for Resort 2025. Michele enlisted his long-time collaborator at Gucci to lens the campaign, with Glen Luchford commissioned to capture Valentino’s latest. Models Awèng Malou, Isadora Ribeiro, Sophie Dominique Gonzalez, Sung Young Lee, Vera Lemelehes, Harry Browse, and Savva Podolski roam the majestic Mignanelli Palace (the birthplace and headquarters of Valentino) throughout the rich and decadent series of campaign images.

The Valentino Resort 2025 Campaign:

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“The video is GORGEOUS. It’s so Roma, opulent, rich, decadent, love love love! Glen Luchford and Alessandro Michele are a perfect duo. They never fail!” exclaimed carla56.

“Love this,” Gonzalo enthused.

Yet not everyone was so impressed. “Ugh, this looks like what moth balls smell like. Stuffy, dated, and been done to death over and over 700 times before,” complained forum member 90sFan.

“Loathed the vast majority of Alessandro Michele’s Gucci campaigns and judging by the look of this, it’ll be the same with his Valentino offerings. This whole maximalist concept just feels so dated in 2024, despite everything feeling very rich and regal here. Not for me,” voiced vogue28.

Kite commented: ” I will just unfortunately never be able to get on board with this aesthetic. It also just looks dated now, not old fashioned in terms of clothes, just a dated way of dressing!”

That’s a complete wrap on Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025, with Sébastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant of Coperni taking the fashion pack to Disneyland Paris to “magically” round out the fashion festivities. Since September 23, a total of 66 physical runway shows and 40 presentations have taken place within the City of the Light over the past week, making the Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 season a one for the books.

Report: Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

Mid-afternoon on Friday September 27, with a wildly star-studded cast including Gigi Hadid, Hedi Klum, Marcia Cross and Anok Yai (as the bride), Guram Gvasalia staged his latest Vetements collection, inspired by the Paris underground. Against a romantic and candle-lit backdrop of the Château de Bagatelle, Victoria Beckham presented her Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 offering of sculptural breast plates, mixed print dresses, and cut-out tailoring.

Andreas Kronthaler brought punk to Paris for his Vivienne Westwood showcase while Nadège Vanhee-Cybulsk served up chocolate leathers that looked like butter at Hermès (and not even a PETA protester could distract from superb craftsmanship). Come nightfall on Saturday September 28, it was time to bare witness to the sophomore collection of Seán McGirr as McQueen creative director. Inside Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts, the Irish designer paid homage to the Alexander McQueen Fall 1994 collection, razor-sharp tailored suiting and Celtic influences.

Come Sunday, all eyes were on Alessandro Michele as he staged his debut runway show as Valentino creative director. Models paraded Michele’s designs of sumptuous fabrics, cascading ruffles, sequins, and bow detailing around a draped set and walked on a floor of broken mirrors. Closing out the weekend, Isabel Marant confirmed that the western trend is set to regain its momentum for Spring 2025, with a collection boasting fringe jackets, studded bags, and suede pieces.

Monday commenced with an open-air show from Stella McCartney at Paris Fashion Week. Oversized bags, suits, round form plush jackets in pastel colors, and splashes of red were consistent throughout McCartney’s lineup. Gabriela Hearst ditched New York for Paris this season, showcasing her creations on the Left Bank. Eclectic knits, sheer sheaths, and crinkled gold separates took the runway, next to sophisticated tailoring and some Western influence. To a remix of Gimmie More by Britney Spears, models at Balenciaga walked out onto an elevated catwalk, inspired by a dining table. Balenciaga creative director Demna, experimented with hoodies and denim, transforming jeans into gaiters and showing oversized sweatshirts with slogans that read “Fashion Designer”.

On the final day of Paris Fashion Week, Chanel (still without a creative director) ventured back to the Grand Palais. The Chanel Fashion Creation Studio team, gave us charming 1920s-style collars and classic tweeds that honored the brand’s rich heritage, while ostrich feather trim and delicate sheer looks floated past guests towards the end of the show. The finale was topped off with a live performance from Riley Keough, who gave attendees a rendition of Prince’s When Doves Cry, sat perched on a swing inside a vast white birdcage. At Miu Miu, Miuccia Prada doubled down on the no-pants look for another season. Nicolas Ghesquière honored the rich Louis Vuitton heritage with a runway inspired by the French fashion house’s signature trunks. Ghesquière’s lineup featured open peplum shirts, flowing silk dresses, oversized shoulder pads, and patterns by artist Laurent Grasso.

All the Hits & Misses From Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025

HIT | Louis Vuitton

“Go off and show off, Nicolas! Let the girls know you can challenge taste without it being ugly. It looked expensive, it didn’t look tortured. Bravo!” [reese06]

“I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED IT. The soundtrack, the trunks as a runway. I loved the footwear, the bags, and the accessories. Ghesquiere is hitting his stride, I am so excited. I loved this collection, and I usually feel a way about what he’s been doing but I love, love, loved all of it.” [jeremydante]

“Great and surprising collection from Nicolas! Despite the layering in the styling, the amount of flow made it so enjoyable. Seeing those fabrics floating as the girls walked was fabulous!” [Lola701]

MISS | Chanel

“Oh how the mighty have fallen…” [Frederic01]

“The set alone is a perfect display of the brand without a creative director: EMPTY! At this point, just give the CD position to anyone with a name because this cannot work for another season. Will it sell? Of course, it will, but it’s not sustainable.” [Salvatore]

“They are desperately in need of new creative director.” [Olaffo]

See all the looks from the Chanel Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Miu Miu

“My biggest fear happened: Miu Miu has become ‘The Lotta Volkova Show’. Is Miuccia even involved in the creative process anymore? It just looks like Lotta went to the archives, pulled a lot of stuff, styled the whole thing with some logo merch, and job done.” [Lola701]

“Styling is 50% of the brand now, and I just find it stupid. Just stupid.” [yslforever]

“I’m really annoyed by all the gimmicks – celebrities, styling, film. The clothes have nothing to say, honestly (and we can say the same about Miuccia).” [thiago]

See all the looks from the Miu Miu Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | McQueen

“1000x better than Seán McGirr’s debut.” [justpassingthrough]

“This is light years away from that heinous debut. It’s unexpectedly good. It’s not on Lee’s (or even Burton’s) level, but it’s was a good collection and a good show. He should’ve dumped the heavy platforms in favour of sleek stilettos and “floating” heels, but one thing at a time.” [LadyJunon]

“For me this show was a massive improvement from his debut, massive. We can all agree that we will never get McQueen in the dark version of yore, that’s a thing of the past. But I thought that McGirr this time got his s**t together and delivered a much more focused and commercially appealing collection.” [bc collector]

See all the looks from the McQueen Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Valentino

“It feels very déjà-vu and I blame the excessive styling. I believe without the amount of lace gloves, piercings, and better casting, it would’ve felt less Michele and more Garavani.” [thiago]

“Michele almost fooled me with that first look. The most anticipated show of the season and the most flop one. He confirmed he is a one-trick pony and has the most one-dimensional vision ever.” [FashionPower]

“No evolution. Gucci 2.0.” [Grets]

See all the looks from the Valentino Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Balenciaga

“Same shtick, different season. The sooner Balenciaga and Demna part ways the better. Absolutely cannot wait to move on from this monstrosity of a direction. This whole streetwear aesthetic for Balenciaga feels beyond tired, dated, and overplayed in 2024.” [vogue28]

“Why do we exist in a world where this vision of Balenciaga is tolerated…especially by luxury consumers?” [GERGIN]

“So pedestrian and basic. Remember when Balenciaga was synonymous with chic, fashion-forward clothes?” [tourbillions]

See all the looks from the Balenciaga Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Yohji Yamamoto

“Truly stunning. Seriously can’t stop looking at this collection. This is how you do real punk, kids, unlike any Hedi Slimane or Marc Jacobs take on it. I feel it like a contemporary, more sculptural Vivienne Westwood.” [philophile]

“I can’t imagine the Paris fashion week without Yohji and the lovely Hôtel De Ville. Hands down one of the best collections this season!” [Kanzai]

“Truly gorgeous. The master can do no wrong even if it’s just a little expansion of his usual vocabulary. In the sea of pretentious fashion, Yohji remains true to himself. A feast to be savored!” [dancv]

See all the looks from the Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Pierre Cardin

“That looks like an Emily in Paris collection. Dreadful, abysmal… a caricature.” [thiago]

“This is very bad.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“Clown, clown, clown with a phone, another clown…” [miumeow]

See all the looks from the Pierre Cardin Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Comme des Garçons

“Rei Kawakubo should be careful at this point not to ruin her amazing legacy. This is tragic.” [90sfan]

“A collection of clown costumes by a once great designer.” [avonlea002]

“She’s been doing these ugly sacks/blobs for 10 years or more. It’s not gonna happen, Rei.” [Alquimista]

See all the looks from the Comme des Garçons Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Carven

“Not sure what happened here. I loved Louise Trotter’s first two collections for Carven. Everything here just looks off.” [tatouejeremie]

“I only see complacency here. Paris has been a disappointment. Nobody is trying anything new.” [Alquimista]

“I love what she’s done with Carven, but this collection feels a bit too complicated. Some of the silhouettes are too sloppy. It would have been a lot better if she showed more knitwear, some structured pieces.” [Kennnnn]

See all the looks from the Carven Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Isabel Marant

“It might be her best collection!” [prylvi]

“Isabel Marant really has a POV and makes the girls look great. Why can’t Pucci or Cavalli make shapes like that? So simple and easy.” [TomBlanksFullFatMiuMiu]

“Easy clothes for women to wear. I’ll take this over a lot of other collections this season.” [donyan]

See all the looks from the Isabel Marant Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Sacai

“It’s very Bouchra Jarrar, which makes me love it!! [IsabelMarantBoy]

“It’s really quite a captivating collection. Love the way some of the fabrics sit on the models, almost like armor.” [GoldenPetals]

“Love almost everything here! It’s hard for me to translate Sacai sometimes beyond the deconstructions, but this time they nailed it for me.” [Ihhbl]

See all the looks from the Sacai Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Akris

“Finally a tasteful and elegant collection is such a boring and underwhelming season. I usually like Albert Kriemler’s work and he remains underrated. One of the only collections to get frills right and the orange section is quite sublime as well.” [Fiercification]

“I like this. So sleek and easy on the eyes. There’s just something that seems so pure about this.” [Cocteau Stone]

“I like this so much! A relief to see this. A nice breeze through this collection – just the right timbre with pleasant moments. It’s so light. Bravo.” [TerraVera]

See all the looks from the Akris Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Duran Lantink

“This is flat as a pancake. What’s the content? Feels like a New York brand trying its hand at being avant-garde.” [Norden]

“It was interesting for a milli-second…” [90sfan]

“I want to know who is backing this brand? All the campaigns, shows every season, that kind of casting and all that press meanwhile you have 4-5 pieces on a rack in Dover Street which doesn’t seem to sell.” [NoInvite]

See all the looks from the Duran Lantink Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Stella McCartney

“This is so messy.” [youthinasia]

“It’s a bit all over the place indeed. I can’t see any cohesion in this collection. Oversized suits, chiffon dresses, leather dresses, t dresses, ripped pants/tops/dresses, lace, wool balloon tops, sequin, pearls. cut-ouPhew, that’s a lot to take.” [Valentine27]

“It’s like the Ann Taylor and Hervé Léger shows got mixed together.” [Irere]

See all the looks from the Stella McCartney Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Gabriela Hearst

“She should stay in NYFW where this collection belongs.” [JohannesL]

“”As a Uruguayan designer, Gabriela Hearst would have the ideal opportunity to put the traditional fabrics of her country and Latin America on the international map, but this set of things is a mix of meaningless things that, instead of making you raise an eyebrow, invites you to close both eyes.” [IndigoHomme]

See all the looks from the Gabriela Hearst Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood

“Sad to say… I just don’t feel Vivienne anymore.” [bennyboy]

“Where’s the ‘punk’? How can you be anti-mainstream, when you create something so easily digestible? With a brand like VW I don’t even care if it’s try-hard or edgy or obnoxious, because that’s the entire point!” [Machinegumm]

“It was cleaner, more commercial. It lacked that defiant punk energy that Vivienne did so well.
Even the runway soundtrack was odd, it wasn’t Vivienne Westwood at all.” [jeremydante]

See all the looks from the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Hermès

“Hermès womenswear is one of a kind! Nadège Vanhee-Cybulski is doing an exceptional job! Great collection. Love the see-through knit. Stunning. Nobody does timeless luxury like them.” [imjustken]

“I really enjoyed the show! Loved the set and also the dynamic walks. I find the collection very appealing.” [Valentine27]

“This is absolutely sufficient for Hermès. It’s the quiet conservative high-quality luxury that its clientele is looking for. Hermès is the LAST fashion house that needs to be ‘fashion-forward’. The brand is already so mature and so well SET, it already has a reliable surefire formula – both commercially and creatively.” [GoldenPetals]

See all the looks from the Hermès Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Vetements

“Dreadful.” [GoldenPetals]

“I couldn’t care less about the clothes. Pure trash.” [thiago]

“Wants to be Balenciaga, it ends being Philipp Plein.” [carla56]

See all the looks from the Vetements Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Victoria Beckham

“She’s desperately trying to be someone she clearly isn’t.” [helmutnotdead]

“Why is Victoria Beckham always trying so hard to be someone she isn’t? She should do a sexier, more glamorous take on minimalism and stop with the artsy nonsense.” [avonlea002]

“She could donate the money to the poor, instead of doing poor fashion every season.” [90sfan]

See all the looks from the Victoria Beckham Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Junya Watanabe

“I love this! Saw the first look and knew this was going to be a hit. Junya rarely disappoints.” [Machinegumm]

“The amount of ideas here is on a whole other level, very impressive.” [tatouejeremie]

“Absolute gold! zeroWhat a relief after the barrage-effortfort collections from all the other brands!” [amak]

See all the looks from the Junya Watanabe Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Ann Demeulemeester

“Another brand that makes no sense without its founder.” [avonlea002]

“Ann D mixed with ‘dumpster diving homeless people’. Stefano Gallici better correct course for next season, because this is NOT the direction this brand should go.” [Machinegumm]

“Ann was never ratty. Bohemian, yes, in the likes of Baudelaire perhaps but not ratty.” [Not Plain Jane]

See all the looks from the Ann Demeulemeester Spring 2025 collection.

HIT | Ludovic de Saint Sernin

“His work is starting to grow on me. It’s well constructed, which isn’t something most of his peers can say.” [LadyJunon]

“Not even going to lie and probably will be put into tFS timeout, but … I am into it!” [Savatore]

“I think this is beautiful…” [thiago]

See all the looks from the Ludovic de Saint Sernin Spring 2025 collection.

MISS | Coperni

“Their shows have been so hyped and are always so… whelming? IDK.” [thenewclassic]

“How do you say ‘Stunt Queens’ in French?” [Jacque Marcel]

“So Kylie was obviously just there to make the show go viral?” [nationalsalt]

If you thought the first portion of Paris Fashion Week was something to behold for the Spring 2025 season, the second half of the 9-day event granted us just as many fantastical fashion moments. McQueen’s Seán McGirr staged his sophomore collection as creative director, presenting razor-sharp tailored suiting and references to the Alexander McQueen Fall 1994 collection. Alessandro Michele made his long-awaited debut as Valentino creative director, staging his first runway at the helm of the luxury Italian fashion house. Sumptuous fabrics, cascading ruffles, sequins, and bow detailing were on full display, as models walked across a runway of broken glass. Chanel staged its first prêt-à-porter show without an official creative director while Nicolas Ghesquière‘s Louis Vuitton showcase paid homage to the rich heritage of the French fashion house.

See, we told you the second half of PFW would save the best moments for last. Scroll further for part two of theFashionSpot’s highlights from Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025:

The post Watch: Part Two of the Highlights From Paris Fashion Week Spring 2025 appeared first on theFashionSpot.

Paris Fashion Week, day seven, and all eyes were on Alessandro Michele earlier today, as the designer staged his debut runway show as Valentino creative director. Following the surprise release of the Valentino Resort 2025 lookbook, Michele’s signature maximalism is well and truly back. Harry Styles, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, Carla Bruni, and Karen Elson were just a few splashed across the front row for Michele’s first Valentino runway presentation. The Italian designer revisited treasures within the Valentino archives, in an attempt to highlight a Roman sense of opulence for the collection titled ‘Pavillon des Folies’. Sumptuous fabrics, cascading ruffles, sequins, and bow detailing were on full display, as models walked across a runway of broken glass.

Valentino Spring 2025 Collection Review

Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:

“Alessandro Michele doing Alessandro Michele. It’s nice but for Valentino? I don’t know. Even if it makes sense with what Valentino Garavani did in the 60s and 70s. It feels very Michele.” [imjustken]

“Girl.. bye. Valenticci.” [tourbillions]

“It feels very déjà-vu and I blame the excessive styling. I believe without the amount of lace gloves, piercings, and better casting, it would’ve felt less Michele and more Garavani.” [thiago]

“Michele almost fooled me with that first look. The most anticipated show of the season and the most flop one. He confirmed he is a one-trick pony and has the most one-dimensional vision ever.” [FashionPower]

“No evolution. Gucci 2.0.” [Grets]

“INCREDIBLE SHOW, love it! It was like I was not watching a fashion show, but a decadent movie, with no models but characters. Loved the music, the set, and the round camera for the shoes. So cinematic!” [carla56]

“Best show of the season, IDGAF. The styling is definitely Michele, but the darker color palette and lack of pop and hip-hop elements created a nice separation between this and Gucci.” [LadyJunon]
