Cardi B, Dua Lipa & Hunter Schafer Lead The Star-Studded Front Row At Schiaparelli’s Paris Show

Daniel Roseberry's Fall/Winter 2025 Haute Couture show drew an A-list crowd—and one crow.

On a rain-dappled Monday morning in Paris, the Petit Palais became the stage for fashion fantasy as Schiaparelli unveiled its Fall/Winter 25/26 Haute Couture collection. With Daniel Roseberry at the helm, the show was always bound to be a spectacle, but it was the front row arrivals that truly dazzled well before any looks hit the runway.

Cardi B, a staple of Roseberry’s FROW, made a theatrical entrance that somehow managed to outdo the drama of her previous looks. Dressed in a sculptural black gown crowned with a colossal pearl-strung neckpiece, the musician embodied the surrealist spirit of the house with a live crow perched on her arm.

Opera gloves and oversized silver dome earrings completed the jaw-dropping look—equal parts couture and performance art.

Pop royalty Dua Lipa briefly stepped away from her post-tour vacation to show her support in a snow-white column dress adorned with thousands of hand-sewn paillettes.

The signature Schiaparelli keyhole cut-out and thigh-grazing slit added flirtatious flashes of skin, while strong shoulders gave the look a powerful edge.

Euphoria star and Schiaparelli muse Hunter Schafer exuded icy elegance in a strapless sage velvet gown, striped with bands of gold embellishment. With her hair slicked back and paired only with oversized pearl earrings, the look was heavenly, without stealing the show.

Singer Karol G opted for a romantic drama look in a corseted midi dress embroidered with black and champagne tapestry, secured by a series of jewelled tassel fastenings.

The detachable ivory mermaid spilled behind her, turning up the glamour.

Also spotted was actor Cooper Koch, whose tailored look played foil to the extravagance around him, including Christine Chiu and Emily in Paris star, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, among others.
