Paris Couture Week may be months away from the Oscars, but guests arrived looking like they were already on a red carpet.
For some, that meant glittering gowns; for others, sparkling jewels.
But Teyana Taylor, the Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated American actress, added a twist no one saw coming: a nod to a famous French museum heist.
Diamonds from the Louvre… or Almost
Back in October, thieves pulled off a daring break-in at the Louvre, stealing a tiara and an imperial brooch containing 2,438 diamonds, once worn by Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III.
Most assumed the treasures would vanish forever, melted down or hidden away.
Enter Teyana Taylor, 35, at the Schiaparelli couture show, wearing a tiara and necklace that could have been stolen straight from the museum.
The bow detail of the necklace even mirrored the iconic stolen piece.
But don’t worry—Taylor wasn’t caught in any crimes.
The glittering set was a creative recreation by Schiaparelli’s designer Daniel Roseberry, turning historical theft into runway drama.
A Look That Stopped the Show
Taylor paired the ‘heist-inspired’ diamonds with a braless, transparent black lace sheath dress, immediately going viral.
It’s no small feat to outshine the infamous diamante Schiaparelli thong she wore at the Golden Globes earlier this month, but this bold homage to a museum heist did just that.
Star-Studded Front Row
She wasn’t the only one turning heads.
Demi Moore, 63, strutted in a dramatic leopard print coat, while Amazon mogul Jeff Bezos, 62, and his wife Lauren Sanchez Bezos, 56, were present as devoted couture enthusiasts.
All eyes were on Roseberry’s imaginative collection, which showcased a chartreuse tulle dress adorned with 65,000 hand-embroidered silk pieces designed to mimic peacock feathers—a painstaking labor of love for the house’s seamstresses.
Couture Meets Whimsy
Roseberry’s Spring 2026 collection, titled The Agony and the Ecstasy, mixed extravagance with storytelling.
Another standout, The Isabella Blowfish, paid tribute to the late British stylist Isabella Blow, with layers of tulle in vivid, bird-of-paradise hues.
Every piece seemed to balance drama, elegance, and a touch of narrative flair.
Dior’s Fresh Flourish
It wasn’t just Schiaparelli making waves.
Northern Irish designer Jonathan Anderson debuted his first couture line for Christian Dior, presenting floral-inspired themes.
Actress Anya Taylor-Joy wore a striking silk cape over a cream wool Dior coat with oversized bell sleeves ending in fur cuffs, while Dior’s collection showcased whimsical details like hydrangea-inspired earrings—a more innocent form of opulence compared to Taylor’s “stolen” diamond look.
When Couture Meets Storytelling
Between the recreated royal jewels, thousands of hand-stitched silk feathers, and floral-themed collections, Paris Couture Week proved it’s as much about storytelling as it is about fashion.
For Teyana Taylor and other front-row stars, this week was a chance to embrace bold creativity, celebrate craftsmanship, and, just for a moment, channel a little daring, diamond-studded drama.
