On Sunday, June 23, 2024, connoisseurs of the fashion world flocked to Place Vendôme, a renowned neoclassical square in Paris, France known for it’s luxurious stores and opulence, for Vogue World 2024.

Ending for the Vogue World 2024: Paris show was Gigi Hadid in Balmain. Creative director Olivier Rousteing of Balmain was tasked to create a finale dress that matched the splendor of the fashion-filled show. Drawing Inspiration from his home country, Rousteing states:
“I wanted the color to recall the blue of the French flag. That electric blue is also a part of the house and our DNA. From there, you’ll notice the draped gold bustier. Armor-like in its construction, the bustier is inspired by the Marianne de France, which is a symbol of strength from the French Revolution. Beyond that, the gold represents strength and, of course, timelessness. It is also gold that surrounds our incredible City of Light.”
The teams who brought this year’s Vogue World to life, Carine Roitfeld, Ib Kamara, Juan Costa Paz, and Palais Galliera, curator Alexandre Samson, oversaw the fashion components, Dame Pat McGrath led makeup design and Rihanna Super Bowl halftime show choreographer Parris Goebel oversaw artistic direction and choreography and Diplo led music direction.
