A skirt of silver-foiled petals moved with each step.<\/p>\n<p>A strapless silver lam\u00e9 gown was cinched with an oversized bow. Trousers and blouses were finished in tight hand-pressed pleats.<\/p>\n<p>Dior\u2019s signature Bar jacket, the nipped-waist shape the house has built on since 1947, was remade several ways: in fern-green tweed with a frayed fringe, in gray houndstooth folded into a giant bow, and once with loose chiffon threads left hanging at the hem.<\/p>\n<p>Other looks were built entirely from embroidered silk flowers.<\/p>\n<p>A wide fan of blue tulle was splayed across the front of one dress.<\/p>\n<p>Handbags came in metallic pleats \u2014 four of them designed with Benglis herself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fans out, stars in<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>France was in another heat wave, with temperatures above 30 Celsius (86 F).<\/p>\n<p>Dior had sent fans with its invitations, and guests used them through the show in the gardens of the Rodin Museum.<\/p>\n<p>The front row mixed pop stars with artists.<\/p>\n<p>Singer Sabrina Carpenter and actor Josh O\u2019Connor sat among guests including Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Naomi Watts, Rebecca Ferguson and Alexa Chung.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the razzmatazz, Anderson\u2019s wager is plain: that the world\u2019s most storied fashion house can afford to be strange.<\/p>\n<p>He is often compared to Matthieu Blazy, the new designer at rival Chanel, who made the wedding dress for singer Dua Lipa this month.<\/p>\n<p>The season now carries a peculiar distinction: Its two biggest stories are dresses no one is allowed to see.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The bride you can\u2019t see<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As couture tradition dictates, the show closed with a bride.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson sent out a pale, strapless column gown under a long veil of hand-pleated chiffon, trimmed with feathered dandelions and embroidered cactus flowers.<\/p>\n<p>It was the second wedding dress Anderson showcased this week \u2014 and the only one anyone could photograph.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3335\">US revokes license authorizing sale of Iranian oil after 3 tankers struck in Strait of Hormuz<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3337\">The year in review: Influential people who have died in 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/denvermovingchronicle.com\/?p=3339\">Even 250 years in, the battle over the American story \u2014 and who gets to tell it \u2014 endures<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PARIS | Jonathan Anderson arrived at Paris couture week with the fashion world still waiting to see the Dior wedding dress he made for Taylor Swift.
