Overview

• Burton framed the season around “powerful femininity,” saying she wanted clothes that are erotic and sensual and that explore dressing and undressing through a woman’s lens.
• Silhouettes emphasized sheer fabrics, stand-away and peeled necklines, short hems, slit skirts and visible bras, with tailoring deconstructed to reveal skin and lightness.
• A top-tier cast underscored the house’s pull, with Naomi Campbell, Kaia Gerber, Eva Herzigová and others on the runway, and Jenna Ortega, Charlize Theron, Gwendoline Christie and Cynthia Erivo in a larger venue by Les Invalides.
• Standout looks included Gerber’s finale of a floral-embroidered bra with a trailing skirt and Campbell’s open black pantsuit that spotlighted Burton’s restrained take on sex appeal.
• Show notes cited René Groebli’s intimate honeymoon photographs as inspiration, while reviews noted a clear shift toward red-carpet relevance already seen on Timothée Chalamet at the Oscars and Gerber at Venice.
