Front Row at Schiaparelli Spring 2026 Haute Couture
Schiaparelli opened Paris Haute Couture Week with Daniel Roseberry presenting The Agony and The Ecstasy. The collection leaned heavily into body skimming gowns, sculptural jewellery moments and visual illusion, from a champagne hued strapless fringed gown to a trompe l’œil dress built from 65,000 faux feathers dyed in 27 shades.
It was always going to draw a bold front row.
Barely There. Boldly Provocative
We are not surprised to see Teyana Taylor in attendance. Her love for Schiaparelli, especially the jewellery, is well documented, and her most recent outing with the house ended in a Golden Globes win. I know this look will get a thumbs down. Several, in fact. The sheerness leaves little to the imagination, and the immediate question is whether it needed to go this far. Black lace can be lined, but that was never going to be the route here. I do not find the look flattering, though the Schiaparelli High Jewelry, inspired by the infamous Louvre heist, and the theatrical instinct fits couture week.

Modern Goddess Energy
We have not seen Jodie Turner Smith for a while, and she returned wearing a Schiaparelli Spring 2026 tree bark effect dress embellished with a gold plated brass collar necklace and irregular cut outs trimmed with gold metal. Styled with a fur jacket, statement earrings and an updo, the look leaned fully into mythic territory, with an almost ancient quality, rooted in Schiaparelli’s surreal codes.
This was Schiaparelli at its most visual, and she carried it with presence.

All In On Couture
Demi Moore stood out for reasons beyond exposure in her Schiaparelli Fall 2025 Haute Couture look. The leopard pattern made an immediate statement, but it was the saddle inspired shoulders, matador pompoms and matching fascinator that carried the look. Fashion week invites risk, and this one landed. Jessica McCormack jewelry completed her look.

Elegance, Minus The Theatrics
If you are tired of visual excess, Leïla Bekhti offered an alternative in a Schiaparelli Spring 2026 white satin suit with sculpted three dimensional pockets. The craftsmanship spoke clearly, and the styling matched the refinement.
