Celebrities at the 2025 BoF 500 Gala
Paris Fashion Week’s BoF 500 Gala brought together some of fashion’s most fearless and forward-thinking dressers, each interpreting “eveningwear” through their own lens. From high drama couture to minimalist sensuality, the night delivered variety, personality, and plenty to talk about.
Dreamy, Feathered Femininity
Alex Consani wore a Conner Ives Spring 2026 sheer pink halter dress with feather accents that embodied soft, nostalgic sensuality and vintage allure — a nod to Old Hollywood through a Gen Z lens.
Modern Mid-Century Elegance
Barbara Palvin’s Ashi Studio Fall 2025 Haute Couture look channelled 1950s sophistication, with its cinched waist, sculpted hips, and structured femininity creating a beautifully timeless and refined silhouette.
Effortlessly Sleek Minimalism
Bruna Marquezine opted for a Carven Spring 2026 look that leaned into minimalist sensuality. The draped halter top and glossy ivory skirt offered a sleek, refined edge — even if it didn’t scream gala.
Ethereal Meets Rebellion
Charli XCX wore a custom Ann Demeulemeester look that balanced the ethereal with the undone. The sheer ruffled layers and asymmetric hem perfectly captured her moody, alt-pop romanticism.
Couture, Commanding, and Completely Herself
No, Coco Rocha wasn’t wearing Christian Siriano, but she still brought high drama in Stéphane Rolland Fall 2025 Haute Couture. The sculptural red gown, with its architectural neckline, spoke volumes on its own — no exaggerated posing required. It was only on the second look did I realise the headpiece.
Fearlessly Theatrical
Colman Domingo made a bold statement in custom Valentino, blending sharp tailoring with a striking faux fur coat. It’s fearless, confident, and exactly the kind of expressive style moment he’s known for.
A Missed Couture Moment
Heidi Klum’s Stéphane Rolland Spring 2025 Haute Couture look was visually intriguing, but it felt a little heavy despite the embellished sheer skirt. Somehow, the look didn’t quite connect — maybe it’s just me.
Playful and Polished Pastels
Ice Spice’s Stella McCartney Spring 2026 look was a refreshing change of pace — structured yet playful, with soft pastels that brought a fun and surprisingly sophisticated side to her usual bold aesthetic.
Modern and Understated Cool
Ishaan Khatter exuded sleek confidence in his sleeveless black suit and scarf detail. It’s minimalist yet striking — a masterclass in effortless red carpet dressing.
Bold and Unapologetically Herself
Jameela Jamil didn’t come to blend in. Her Harris Reed Spring 2026 floral corseted look brought vivid colour, couture structure, and her trademark confidence — a joyful celebration of expressive fashion.
Sharp, Sleek, and Unexpected
Olivia Palermo stepped outside her usual romantic lane in a Balmain Pre-Fall 2025 power suit. With its oversized belt and plunging neckline, this was strength and sensuality rolled into one — so refreshingly bold for her.
Modern Old Hollywood Energy
Rita Ora stunned in Elie Saab Fall 2025 Haute Couture, wearing a strapless black velvet gown with diagonal cut-outs and a sweeping train. The sleek bob and red lip sealed the deal — timeless with a twist.
Architectural Artistry in Motion
Wisdom Kaye made yet another striking entrance in Robert Wun Fall 2025 Couture. The black-and-white splatter-print coat and matching jumpsuit merged theatre and precision in a way only he can pull off.
