Georgina Rodriguez dazzles front row at Elie Saab's Paris Fashion Week show
DUBAI: Lebanese haute couture label Elie Saab's Ready-to-Wear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 collection transported Paris Fashion Week to the world's most exclusive mountain retreats, where relaxed glamour meets alpine allure. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ With Georgina Rodriguez, Sofia Carson and Leighton Meester gracing the front row, the show unfolded as a celebration of opulent textures, burnished hues, and striking silhouettes — seamlessly transitioning from the polished salons of the city to the snow-dusted slopes. A post shared by ELIE SAAB (@eliesaabworld) Saudi-based Argentinian model Rodriguez wore a pristine white outfit that took inspiration from Elie Saab's alpine theme. The ensemble featured a luxurious, textured top adorned with delicate feather-like details, adding a touch of avant-garde flair. This was paired with tailored white trousers that complemented her silhouette. Carson — the US actress and singer known for films such as 'Purple Hearts' and 'Descendants' — graced the event in a sophisticated black and white checked tweed dress by Elie Saab. The ensemble was cinched at the waist with a black belt, complemented by black leather gloves and a matching bag. She completed her elegant look with a veiled black hat. A post shared by Sofia Carson (@sofiacarson) Meester debuted a fiery new look at the show, sporting a ginger hair transformation. At the show, Meester was seated directly next to former 'Gossip Girl' co-star Kelly Rutherford, who played Lily van der Woodsen. Her dress featured a dynamic pattern, blending rich colors that complemented her fresh hair transformation. On the runway, a rich palette of midnight black, powder white, pine green, deep burgundy, and chocolate brown enveloped the collection in warmth and sophistication. Voluminous fur coats draped effortlessly over butter-soft leggings, while embroidered and sleek tube midi-skirts found harmony with monochrome knits. The classic tuxedo took on freshness with cropped trousers, pairing flawlessly with an embellished sixties-style jacket, a statement piece equally at home with fitted midi-skirts. A post shared by ELIE SAAB (@eliesaabworld) The snow-capped skyline reimagined itself as a recurring motif — stitched into cashmere sweaters, sequinned across layered dresses, and woven through sport-luxe essentials like a figure-hugging zipped jumpsuit and a striking yellow parka. Structured silk corsets cascaded into mermaid lace, while scalloped tiers of beaded floor-length gowns shimmered like moonlit glacial waves. Accessories completed the apres-ski look: Alaskan hats, visor sunshades, and chunky fur-trimmed snow boots enhanced the alpine spirit, while closed-toe leather and satin pumps offered effortless elegance. Sumptuous fur bags in various sizes added a final touch of indulgence, alongside the latest additions to the Wave handbag collection.
