BTS V
Amid several speculations, Kim Taehyung aka BTS V, attended the Celine SS26 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. He departed from Incheon Airport on Saturday, October 4 and arrived at the show on October 5. This marks his first Paris Fashion Week appearance.
BTS V stepped out in the Paris sun wearing a long brown coat layered over a crisp white shirt, and paired with a distinctive tie featuring a subtle leopard print. His double-breasted coat drew attention for how perfectly it complemented his tall frame and polished look. His dark hair was styled naturally, with minimal makeup highlighting his flawless features. This allowed his natural charm to shine through. Taehyung's look was inspired by the charm of 1880s Paris.
He was papped while he left his hotel ahead of the show, where his demeanour and confident style were impossible to ignore. During his PFW appearance, one unforgettable moment came when actress Uma Thurman's hair slipped, and the K-pop star gently adjusted it.
Fans were quick to flood social media with praise for his impeccable fashion sense and aura.
Kim Taehyung was officially named CELINE's global ambassador on March 15, 2023. The French fashion house, led by Hedi Slimane, announced him as "CELINE Boy." The K-pop star made his debut at a CELINE pop-up in Seoul on March 30, 2023, where he wore an all-black outfit with a long coat and denim trousers that instantly caught attention.
On 22 May 2023, he was also seen joining CELINE's private dinner at the Cannes Film Festival, hosted by Slimane at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. He appeared in a black collarless jacket with a glittering faux-bow, paired with black trousers and heeled boots, where he appeared alongside BLACKPINK's Lisa and actor Park Bo-gum.
V's recent appearance at the Celine event not only reinstated his status as a global fashion figure but also sparked conversations about how effortlessly K-pop idols can blend high fashion with their own unique charm. It is safe to say that V once again set the bar high for celebrity style at Paris Fashion Week.
