Cardi B, a crow and the Americans taking over Paris Fashion Week
The week dedicated to clothes for the rich, where gowns can cost anywhere between $77,000 and $1,230,000, began with a collection brimming with historical references from US designer Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli.
Who is buying the matador suits and gowns with jutting hips and shoulders? Lauren Sanchez wore a gold corset dress from Schiaparelli as part of her pre-wedding festivities with Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos. The dress, with floral hand embroidery, was estimated to have cost $US100,000 ($154,000).
Roseberry has risen to the top of the Parisienne ranks by embracing the drama of the label, founded by Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli in 1927, which gained fame for its surrealist touches. In 2023, Roseberry gave us Kylie Jenner wearing a realistic lion's head in the front row, yesterday it was Cardi B arriving cocooned in a black velvet gown with pearl fringing, an exaggerated U-neckline and a crow on a leash.
Cardi B asked the paparazzi to be quiet, to not scare the bird. Pop singer Dua Lipa, in a white gown with paillettes and a keyhole cut-out endured the photographers screams, arriving without a bird, or even a key.
The highlight of the Schiaparelli show was a dress with a faux décolletage on the back and a beating red diamanté heart. It's unlikely to inspire any Zara dresses but could turn up at Lauren Sanchez-Bezos's Valentine's Day celebrations.
Groundwork for the US invasion began the day before the Schiaparelli show, with Washington DC-born designer Michael Rider debuting as creative director at Celine.
Having worked at the French fashion house in the past, with stints at Balenciaga and Ralph Lauren, Rider's ready-to-wear show was a confident presentation of early 80s silhouettes with roomy red leather jackets, skinny jeans and suits with broad shoulders and nipped waists.

Terry Gilliam enjoys watching Donald Trump and Elon Musk argue 'like children in the playground'
Terry Gilliam has almost enjoyed seeing Donald Trump and Elon Musk "go at each other like two children in the playground". The President of the United States and his former friend fell out recently over a proposed spending bill, with the pair taking shots at each other over the past few weeks. Monty Python star Terry told Deadline: "I'm almost finding it enjoyable to listen to Trump and Musk go at each other like two children in the playground. "It's the world's richest man and the world's most powerful man behaving like that." Just this week, the 78-year-old commander-in-chief hit out at his former friend and advisor after the tech mogul declared his intention to start his own political party, the America Party. Although Terry, AGE, admitted it's "fascinating", he did take aim at the way the Trump administration is trying to tackle immigration. He added: "That's kind of fascinating and entertaining, and I think the idea of pushing all those people out of California, in all of America, that's the workforce folks, it isn't going to give more jobs to Americans. "We need immigrants. The same thing happened when Britain left Europe." The filmmaker - who was born in Minnesota, grew up in Los Angeles and later became a naturalised British citizied in 1968 - insisted he has no intention of living in the US again, having formally renounced his citizenship in 2006. He said: "I haven't been back to [live in] America since whenever it was, and I don't intend to. "I think America is in a very difficult position now because Trump and company are quite extraordinary. "On the other hand, he may actually succeed where other people didn't, in a strange way. It's like Richard Nixon, you know, brought about the rapprochement with China." Over the weekend, Tesla boss Musk revealed his plans to set up a political party to give people "back [their] freedom". He wrote on X, which he owns : 'By a factor of 2 to 1, you want a new political party and you shall have it! When it comes to bankrupting our country with waste + graft, we live in a one-party system, not a democracy. 'Today, the America Party is formed to give you back your freedom.' The president fired back on his own Truth Social platform: 'I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely 'off the rails,' essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. "He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States."

Cardi B, a crow and the Americans taking over Paris Fashion Week
A warm 'howdy' is becoming more appropriate than a breathy 'bonjour' backstage at Paris Fashion Week. On day one, Americans are already the flavour of the autumn/winter 2026 haute couture season at two leading fashion houses, leaving the acquired taste of French designers in short supply.
