Paris Haute Couture Week Fall/Winter 2023 commenced on July 3, 2023. Celebrities from across the globe ascended in the fashion capital to grace the front-row of brands they champion.
On one hand, Paris is dealing with a humanitarian crisis caused by the untimely death of 17-year-old Nahel Merzouk, who was shot by the French Police — on the other, it’s business as usual for Paris Haute Couture Week. The streets of the city of love are roiled with riots, demanding justice for the young boy.
Fashion and its vitality almost seem unimportant at the moment, but it also happens to be a brutal business chained with millions of livelihoods. A fashion week involves months of planning, investments and vigour from brands across the world, who put in their all to be a part of this prestigious calendar.
Supporting the spirit of the fashion fraternity, A-listers from Hollywood, Bollywood and other entertainment industries marked the significant fashion week with their presence. From Sonam Kapoor Ahuja and House Ambassador Natalie Portman at Dior to Cardi B stopping the traffic at Schiaparelli — the ladies turned up in style.
As couture week continues to dominate our timelines, here are some of the best front-row fashion moments so far.

Kylie Jenner has been known to champion Arab designers on a number of occasions.
Most recently, the makeup mogul adorned a Dubai-based designer to mark the final filming session of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Sharing some photos to Instagram over the weekend, Jenner was wearing an all-cream outfit. “Last day of filming,” Jenner captioned the post.
She accessorised the ensemble with the Ida bag by Dubai-based brand L’Afshar in beige croc.

Born and bred in Dubai in 2013, the brand has become hugely popular around the globe, especially amongst other A-listers, too. Kendall Kenner, Beyonce, Bella Hadid and Queen Rania are all big fans of the designer bags.
As for the long-running Kardashian-Jenner reality show, it was announced by Kim Kardashian last year that KUWTK would be coming to an end after 14 years.
In a statement posted to her Instagram Kardashian said, “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.”

“Without Keeping Up with The Kardashians, I wouldn’t be where I am today,” she added. “I am so incredibly grateful to everyone who has watched and supported me and my family these past 14 incredible years.
“This show made us who we are and I will be forever in debt to everyone who played a role in shaping our careers and changing our lives forever.”
Given that it’s been widely reported Kardashian is heading for a divorce from husband Kanye West, we’re intrigued to see what the final season of KUWTK will have in store for us.
