Paris Haute Couture Week: Teyana Taylor Attends Schiaparelli’s Spring 2026 Couture Show

Paris — Schiaparelli ushered in Paris Haute Couture Week with a Spring/Summer 2026 collection that felt both ethereal and confrontational, reaffirming the house’s position at the intersection of fantasy and force. Under the creative direction of Daniel Roseberry, the collection explored extremes of volume and precision, drawing inspiration from the avian world—where lightness meets raw, sculptural power.

The runway unfolded as a study in tension: gravity-defying silhouettes balanced by intricate detailing, feathers cascading across the body, and sharply constructed forms that echoed wings, horns, and tails. Birds became both metaphor and muse, symbolizing freedom, aggression, beauty, and survival—key themes in Roseberry’s evolving narrative for the house.

Among the guests was Teyana Taylor, who arrived embodying the drama and intellect of the collection. She wore Roseberry’s reimagined versions of the infamous tiaras reportedly stolen from the Louvre last year, transformed into surreal couture statements that blurred the line between history, myth, and provocation. The look was unapologetically bold, aligning Taylor’s fearless personal style with Schiaparelli’s signature theatricality.

Titled The Agony and The Ecstasy, the collection channeled the emotional complexity of the present moment. “At the beginning of the season I had two questions for myself,” Roseberry shared ahead of the show. “How do I use anger? Because there is a lot of anger in the world right now. There’s a lot of poison. And then the second question was, where is the joy of creation?”

That duality—rage and rapture—defined the collection. It was couture as catharsis: confronting discomfort while celebrating the radical joy of making. With its opening show, Schiaparelli set a powerful tone for the week ahead, reminding audiences that couture can be both a mirror to the world’s unease and a vehicle for transcendent beauty.
