As usual, celebrities were in abundance. Pharrell Williams, creative director of menswear at Louis Vuitton, was in dad mode in the front row of Loewe. Cardi B synergized with the models at Mugler, wearing her bangs in the same arresting, emo-adjacent style that appeared on the catwalk. Greta Gerwig looked distinctly un-Barbie in sophisticated black at a Chanel event. Gigi Hadid conjured up memories of Keira Knightley’s deep green “Atonement” dress walking on the runway for Victoria Beckham.
