C’est fini! Vogue World: Paris has wrapped, and here’s a shoppable breakdown of the best fashion and trend moments from the spectacle, from Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner’s unforgettable catwalk entrance on horseback to turns from FKA twigs, Karlie Kloss, Sabrina Carpenter, Venus and Serena Williams, and more. The event served as a celebration of fashion and sport, a look back at 10 decades and present-day French fashion alongside the best in summer sportswear, from cycling and swimming to tennis and gymnastics. All the sports and decades proved equally stylish.
The runway itself—which unfolded in the famed Place Vendôme, surrounded by haute couture ateliers at the center of the 1st Arrondissement in Paris—was chock-full of pieces from iconic French houses like Chanel, Dior, Saint Laurent, Alaïa, Balenciaga, and Givenchy. Styled by Ib Kamara and Carine Roitfeld, the fashion show gave us a cheat sheet for what’s important now in fashion—which can be distilled into six trends.
For summer, there’s a handful of takeaways. To start, Jacquemus has declared this summer the season of stripes. In an ode to the 1940s, we saw colorful striped dresses from Jacquemus and bikinis from Jean Paul Gaultier. Speaking of color, richly hued chiffon capes and flowing gowns kicked off the 1970s section, featuring pieces from Givenchy, Alexandre Vauthier, Giambattista Valli, and the new Chloé by Chemena Kamali in wonderfully saturated shades that are most welcome for high summer.
Looking ahead, take a cue from houses like Dior and Hermès, and you’ll see that it’s going to be a horse-girl fall. Blazers and riding jackets with nipped-in waists nod to the 1950s, and a resurgence of these silhouettes was seen on fall 2024 runways, from Thom Browne to Maison Margiela couture; complete the look with a full skirt and pair of riding boots. All that and more standout trends to shop from Vogue World: Paris, below.

Sports Style
Aside from the athletes who walked in legitimate athleticwear, there was no shortage of sports-inspired fashion on the Vogue World: Paris runway, from designer tennis dresses to football jerseys. For those who need more inspiration, here are a few fun ways to wear the trend. Go team!
Disco Colors
Leading the charge for the groovy 1970s were showstopping chiffon dresses and capes from Givenchy in an array of highly saturated hues and caftan-like silhouettes. Take inspiration from this runway portion for all your summer celebrations or soirees. Choose an equally fabulous maxidress as your salute to the vibrancy of the decade.
Horse-Girl Fall
The worlds of fashion and equestrianism have always been intertwined; it’s no secret that many women in the industry are riders (Bella Hadid, Edie Campbell, and Mary-Kate Olsen, to name a few). What better way to honor that history than with pieces from the French fashion houses of Dior and Hermès? The silhouettes on the runway resembled those of the 1950s, with nipped-in blazers and full skirts. Here’s how to do it for fall 2024.
Belle Époque
The show’s opening passage, featuring five dazzling evening dresses from Chanel, spanned a whopping 100 years, from 1924 to 2024. Among them were decorative looks inspired by the 1920s and gilded dresses from Dries Van Noten, Dior, and Miu Miu. You, too, can dress like the golden age.
