March 2 marked the start of the Fall-Winter 2025 Paris Fashion Week. This nine-day event is full of eye-catching looks on and off the runway, showcasing some of the world’s most prestigious brands, including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Miu Miu, Christian Dior and Saint Laurent.
These brands are looking for a chance to introduce their new looks, hoping to trademark some trends for the following year while working their way into a celebrity wardrobe. Singers, actors, models and nepo babies from all over the world gather together for a chance to sit on the sidelines. Yet, naturally, they become the most memorable part of the event.
Here are the best (and worst) dressed, and whether I deem their outfits “wear” or “tear.” Grab yourself a croissant and a café au lait as we teleport to Paris Fashion Week.
Chappell Roan Slithers into Fashion Week
Chappell Roan made her Fashion Week debut at Rabanne’s fall 2025 show, wearing a metallic backless set from the brand’s spring collection. This look was paired with white-powdered makeup, a smokey eye and wavy brown hair. The strappy dress has almost a snakeskin appeal to it, and I love that she completed the outfit with a more subtle makeup look and a natural hair color, as to not clash with (or take away from) the dress itself.
Even at her first fashion show, Roan was a stand-out star. She fully commits to every look and your eyes will never get bored. She was like a shapeshifter throughout the week, always popping out in a new, extravagant outfit. I would slither into this dress, for sure: WEAR!
Ice Spice Plays Paintball
Ice Spice kicked off fashion week in an Off-White sportswear dress. Covered in stars, lettering and splattered paint, the rapper finished the look with minimal makeup and an orange bob with bangs.
Somewhat experimental but also failing miserably, the leather dress looks not only uncomfortable but unappealing. It looks like she got caught in the middle of playing paintball, her hair suffering from humidity or maybe just in dire need of a good brush. There’s not much else to say here besides: TEAR!
Doechii Brings the Denim
It was hard to pick my favorite Doechii look of the week, but I settled on her white gown and denim corset combo. Those are two things that I, personally, could never imagine looking good together in such an environment, but she pulled it off seamlessly.
But what is it that solidifies this look as a favorite? It’s her dramatic blow-out wavy hair, accompanied by gold earrings and burgundy lip gloss. I love it when stylists use a combination of accessories, makeup and hair to elevate the look.
With Doechii looking elegant yet provocative, this was an amazing addition to fashion week. I can’t tell what she looks like more: a Disney princess or a 90s movie star. WEAR!
Doja Cat: Prom or Paris?
I expected Doja Cat to challenge Chappell Roan in terms of creativity — especially after her previous Fashion Week outfits (ex: in 2023, she showed up covered in 30,000 Swavorski crystals) — but this year, I was let down horribly. All I have to say about this outfit is: why?
Granted, her looks got better as the week went on, but I’m still stuck on this red-and-black-cape type of thing. With a black hood, Doja Cat topped off this overhead dress with long black gloves, red tights and a big rose slapped on the front, looking nearly identical to a prom night boutonnière. If you don’t believe me, look for yourself.
I wouldn’t wear this outfit anywhere, but definitely not to Paris Fashion Week. TEAR!
Chappell Roan Is Black and Blue
Roan also attended Vivienne Westwood’s show, sitting front-row in a floor-sweeping sparkly black dress. She returned to the spotlight with her classic red hair, which is pulled back but also heavily teased, paired with dramatic blue eyeliner and heavy blush.
But it doesn’t stop there: the look is heavily accessorized, with hoop earrings, a studded belt and a silver ring. The dress drapes to reveal one of her breasts, which is partially hidden behind a sheer fabric. I’m not sure if anyone else could pull off partial nudity at Fashion Week other than Roan.
My favorite part about this outfit is, of course, the eye-catching makeup, which has become a signature in Roan’s stylebook. I’m not sure why, how, or where I would wear this, but for all fashion-reviewing purposes, I’ll say it: WEAR!
Paris Jackson Is Stuck at Coachella
Paris Jackson, actress, singer and daughter of Michael Jackson, was also at the event. Though if you showed me her outfit, I could have sworn she was at Coachella. The look I’m talking about currently may have been overshadowed by the sheer see-through dress that she made headlines with later on, but I’m still stuck processing this one.
While boho might be Jackson’s go-to style, I think that in all situations, you should not wear a crop top to a fashion show. I can handle the red leather jacket that Jackson is pictured in — and maybe even the shoes — but this outfit lost all capability when I saw the puffy high-waist shorts. What’s “tear” in French? LARME!
