Paris Haute Couture Week snuck up on us faster than ever this season, but we're not complaining. After watching Dior's Maria Grazia Chiuri send models through a lush garden in tulle gowns and tailored suits, we were eager for more. Thankfully, we didn't have to wait long. Designers sent It models down the runway in more masterful creations all week long.
Karl Lagerfeld had girl-of-the-moment Lily-Rose Depp close the Chanel show in a blush-pink bridal gown we'll never forget. Though this scene was likely one of the most 'grammed so far, there are many more can't-miss moments to catch up on. Scroll through to catch up on the most important moments, then gear up for next month's host of fashion shows.
85-Year-Old Model Carmen Dell'Orefice Closed the Show at Guo Pei
Carmen walked down the runway with two male models at her side wearing a flaming-red beaded dress. A matching red headpiece completed her queen-like ensemble.
Pierpaolo Piccioli Showed His First Solo Couture Collection For Valentino
Instead of presenting ornate and over-the-top designs, Pierpaolo brought it back to smooth, fluid pieces. The Grecian-like runway looks gave a light and airy feel to the overall collection.
Viktor & Rolf Debuted Upcycled Gowns on the Runway
They took decades-old pieces from vintage gowns and cocktail dresses and used them to create collages on a new piece. Both designers were inspired by Kintsugi, a type of Japanese pottery where broken pieces are repaired together, and you can clearly see elements of that in the runway looks.
Lily-Rose Depp Closed Out the Chanel Couture Show
The Grand Palais in Paris was turned into a magical, mirrored runway for Karl Lagerfeld's show.
