Scorching temperatures in the French capital accompanied the hottest week in haute couture.

American rapper Cardi B attends the Robert Wun Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2026/2027 show The hottest week in haute couture was accompanied by scorching temperatures as the biggest names in the world of fashion and celebrity descended on Paris for Couture Week. Brands such as Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, Chanel and Dior showcased custom, handmade designs that take hundreds of hours to create. Haute couture week, which happens twice a year, is so exclusive that you have to be invited to present a collection by the French fashion industry's governing body. Shows across the four-day period attracted star-studded attendees, including Bad Bunny, Hudson Williams, Sabrina Carpenter and Cardi B. Schiaparelli's creative director Daniel Roseberry's haute couture collection for Autumn/Winter 2026-2027 was entitled The Call of the Void, which he says was "a total surrender to an unknown creative process". The fashion house dressed its guests in eye-catching designs, including rapper and actor Bad Bunny, who took a break from the European leg of his world tour to attend his first haute couture week in a butter yellow suit. Actress Emma Corrin was also in attendance in an incredible pastel-coloured feather jacket, complete with some very dangerous looking talons.
