The fall 2025 collections at Paris Fashion Week began the day following the 2025 Oscars, providing a refreshing change for those feeling overwhelmed by awards season. Additionally, the opportunity to bid on a Marilyn Monroe artifact and an intriguing new development in the Timothée Chalamet saga added five compelling fashion updates to your radar.
Michelle Yeoh, Kiera Knightley and Other Stars Attend “Le Grand Dîner du Louvre”
Michelle Yeoh likely jumped on a flight immediately following the 2025 Oscars, as she appeared fresh and rested when she attended “Le Grand Dîner du Louvre” at the Palais du Louvre on Tuesday night. This event, the first fundraiser for the famous museum, is being compared to New York’s Met Gala, potentially earning the name “Paris’s Met Gala.” Similar to the Met Gala, set for May 5 this year, the Paris event was created to honor Louvre Couture: Art and Statement — Fashion Pieces, which opened on January 24 and runs until July 21. Unlike the Met Gala, which previews its accompanying exhibition, “Le Grand Dîner” coincides with the start of Paris Fashion Week, around six weeks after Louvre Couture’s opening. The Louvre’s first fashion exhibition highlights the art of haute couture and craftsmanship, showcasing over 100 designs from prestigious French brands like Chanel, Balmain, Givenchy, Carven, Dior, and Balenciaga. Some of the celebrities present at Tuesday’s event included Keira Knightley in Chanel, Gemma Chan in Jason Wu, Anna Sawai in Dior, and Dev Patel in Gucci.
Dior Releasing a Women-Centric Documentary on March 8
Maria Grazia Chiuri, the creative director at Dior, consistently emphasizes women’s perspectives in her work, and this is evident not only in the feminine designs she has been crafting for the brand since 2016. Visiting a Dior fashion show provides an opportunity to witness the artwork of female artists, as Chiuri invites them to create grand installations for Dior’s runway events at Musée Rodin. In celebration of Women’s History Month, these artists are now sharing their experiences from collaborating with Chiuri in the documentary titled “Her Dior“. This 70-minute film delves into the backstage happenings surrounding Chiuri’s initiative to showcase these women and the impact this collaboration has had on their lives and careers. In the film, Chiuri explains that when she partners with an artist, they are given complete freedom with their projects. French director Loic Prigent, who is known for his documentaries about designers like Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, and Jean Paul Gaultier, also expresses in “Her Dior” that without Chiuri, he would have no understanding of feminism, as she is educating him. The documentary will be available for viewing on YouTube starting March 8 at noon ET/9 a.m. PT.
Dame Pat McGrath is the Force Behind Just-Launched Louis Vuitton Beauty
It’s common knowledge among Swifties that Pat McGrath stands alone as a legend, surpassing the role of perfecting Taylor Swift’s signature red lipstick and portraying the Queen in her “Bejeweled” video. In 2021, she was bestowed with the title of Dame by Queen Elizabeth II, marking another feather in her cap. Now, taking one of her many collaborations with fashion houses to new heights, McGrath has been appointed as the creative director for cosmetics in Louis Vuitton’s upcoming makeup collection, La Beauté Louis Vuitton. This collection is set to hit stores this fall. Vanity cases have always been a part of Louis Vuitton’s legendary trunks, and in the 1920s, they expanded their offerings to include compacts, brushes, and mirrors. However, this marks the brand’s first foray into lipsticks, eye palettes, and other cosmetic items.
As a seasoned professional with over two decades spent behind-the-scenes at Louis Vuitton fashion extravaganzas, I am elated to be part of the groundbreaking debut of La Beauté Louis Vuitton. This breathtaking creation is a testament to masterful craftsmanship, unparalleled creativity, and cutting-edge innovation. In a statement, McGrath expressed that this beauty realm transcends mere products; instead, we are crafting an experience that will elevate luxury beauty to unprecedented heights.
Julien’s Auctions Latest Sale Includes a Marilyn Monroe Evening Purse
Enthusiasts of fashion are starting to place bids on the desirable clothing and accessories that form part of “Bold Luxury: The Limelight Edit”, a diverse auction taking place on March 27 at 10 a.m. PT, at The Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. This collection includes items from high-end labels like Victoria Beckham, Prada, Alberta Ferretti, Chanel, and others, along with stage and screen-worn garments. Among these are Cher’s Bob Mackie costume for “If I Could Turn Back Time”, which has already received a bid of $60,000. Historical pieces include a caftan designed by Irene Sharaff, worn by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1963 film “Cleopatra”; a pair of jeans Marilyn Monroe wore in the 1954 film “River of No Return”; a Jean Louis dress Monroe wore at a press conference for “The Misfits” in 1960; and items from Taylor’s Louis Vuitton luggage collection.
As a passionate gamer, I can’t help but feel exhilarated by the opportunity to bid on an iconic piece of history – a golden minaudière from the 1950s, once owned by the legendary Marilyn Monroe! This exquisite piece is part of the extensive collection of Dee and Tommy Hilfiger, renowned art and memorabilia collectors.
With an auction estimate ranging between $100,000 to $200,000 and a current bid of $40,000, this item is generating significant buzz in the upcoming sale. The real treasure isn’t just the evening purse itself, but the relics of Monroe it still carries – a used red lipstick, a powder puff with some residue left, two dimes from 1943 and 1945, and eight cigarettes.
But wait, there’s more! The proceeds from this sale will be donated to the noble cause of NEXT for Autism, a non-profit organization. This is not just a chance to own a piece of history, but also to make a difference in someone’s life. So gear up, fellow collectors, and get ready to bid!
A Gap Suit Timothée Chalamet Wore to an Oscars Event Has Been Reimagined for Sale
The rapid sell-out of Anne Hathaway’s iconic white GapStudio shirtdress designed by Zac Posen set the stage for this event: Gap is now offering a replica of the same design that Timothée Chalamet wore at the Academy Awards Nominee Dinner in Los Angeles. Since February 2024, Zac Posen has served as the executive vice president and creative director of Gap. He’s given Chalamet’s look a twist by designing it as a unisex pair: the GapStudio Satin Icon Jacket priced at $198, along with the matching $128 ’90s Loose Pants. However, stocks for these items are limited and they are expected to ship by the end of May.
