Inside the historic Ecole Militaire, with the Eiffel Tower looming above, Kate Moss and Robert Pattinson joined a star-studded audience for Dior Men's show at Paris Fashion Week — a slight but noticeable departure for Kim Jones. Renowned for his gender-fluid designs, Jones on Friday embraced a sharper, more traditionally masculine aesthetic this season.

The white sanitized, almost ethereal staircase descending onto the runway was minimalist and angular — much like the designs themselves. It set the stage for a Jones collection inspired by the house’s mid-century heritage. Taking cues from Christian Dior’s iconic “Ligne H,” or “H Line,” a revolutionary post-war silhouette designed to simplify women’s fashion, Jones reinterpreted it as clean, structured lines for men.

Stars shine bright. The front row was equally captivating. Kate Moss, ever the icon, caused a flurry of paparazzi snaps, resembling a goddess at the foot of the staircase. Robert Pattinson, meanwhile, exuded his trademark brooding charm, drawing admiring glances. Louis Garrel, Nam Joo-hyuk, and J Balvin added their international star power, while Gwendoline Christie, statuesque and commanding, turned heads.

Rising stars Apo Nattawin and Mile Phakphum caused an uproar outside, underscoring Dior’s global cultural reach. The looks — minimalist, masculine, couture. Jones delivered a collection that balanced precision with opulence. A black leather bomber, minimalist and stark, exemplified the pared-down refinement that underpinned the collection.
