After her highly-anticipated and acclaimed debut Givenchy show, Sarah Burton presented her sophomore collection for the storied French house and the follow-up was somehow even stronger and more distinct than we could have hoped. Titled “powerful femininity”, the collection was an ode to the strengths of women and it explored traditional archetypes and tropes of female dressing, from bold bejeweling to bra tops that actually function as bras to delicate, frothy dresses made from mesh and sheer fabrics.
What made the show especially noteworthy, however, was the celebrity turnout, both on and off the runway. The front row read like the roll call at the Oscars or Emmys, with Jenna Ortega, Charlize Theron, and Cynthia Erivo in attendance and while it’s standard practice to dress celebrities in looks from the brand, Givenchy took it one step further and dressed a number of its A-list guests in the very looks about to be staged. Models, too, featured a cast of both O.G. and modern heavyweights, from Naomi Campbell to Kaia Gerber. Here, discover everything to know about the Givenchy spring 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week.
Celebs Wore It First
The first looks at Givenchy’s spring/summer 2026 collection didn’t come as models stepped foot on the runway, but before the show even began. Celebrities in attendance arrived in variations on the looks that would, just moments later, appear on the runway. Jenna Ortega wore look 43, a heavily ruffled sheer dress in a deep shade of crimson and Charlize Theron appeared in an armor of large beads showing through from underneath a crisp white pantsuit. Why wait until award season to see the collected interpreted IRL when you can glance over at the front row?
