Paris Fashion Week is the real deal, and it’s here you’ll find the highest concentration of style icons in one place. Kate, Beth, Charlotte — you name it, they were at the tents and looking, well, iconic!
Beth Ditto absolutely rocks a short caftan at Stella McCartney.
Dita Von Teese was, of course, on fire all week, at her retro best. Here she is at Lanvin.
And at Elie Saab.
Lou Doillon‘s counterintuitive eclectic cool shouldn’t work, but it almost always does. Here she is at Dior.
And at Balenciaga.
Best of all, at Chanel.
The original eclectic-cool maven, Kate Moss (at Dior). This should look tacky, when you itemize it: it doesn’t.
Deserving style icon Charlotte Gainsbourg always makes basics look amazing.
It takes Parisians to make us appreciate the leopard trend. Here, Mademoiselle Agnes at Balenciaga.
And Evelina Khromchenko, at Lanvin.
Also doing a trend right — this time both camel and shorts — Lou Lesage, at Chloe.
At Chanel, Audrey Marnay is pure elegance.
Claudia Schiffer, in Paris drag! (At Chanel, so totally apropos.)
Alexa Chung (at Chloe) gives the impression of just having the coolest, most effortless closet in the world. It’s quite a trick!
Salma Hayek, at Stella McCartney, is Lana Turner glam.
Out of control, at McQueen!
Leigh Lezark, at Chanel, does her Odille wicked-swan-thing.
