“Golden Glamour: Gigi Hadid Dazzles in Paco Rabanne’s Million-Dollar Homage”
In a breathtaking display of sartorial splendor, supermodel Gigi Hadid set Paris ablaze with a scintillating ensemble that paid homage to fashion history while heralding a new era of opulence. The statuesque beauty, fresh from her debut as the face of Paco Rabanne’s Million Gold For Her fragrance, graced the brand’s spring 2025 after-party in a look that was nothing short of liquid gold.
Hadid’s pièce de résistance was a sleeveless mini dress that seemed to capture the very essence of light itself. This modern masterpiece, a brilliant reinterpretation of Françoise Hardy’s iconic 1968 gown—once hailed as the “most expensive dress in the world”—substituted the original’s diamond-encrusted gold tiles with an intricate tapestry of gleaming chain links. The result? A sartorial symphony that sang of both nostalgia and innovation.
But darlings, the devil—and the divine—was truly in the details. Julien Dossena, Paco Rabanne’s visionary creative director, orchestrated a golden aria with every accessory. The chain-link motif, a thread of genius, wove its way through the entire ensemble. From the chunky gold hoop earrings that framed Hadid’s luminous visage to the bracelet that encircled her wrist like a gilded serpent, every element whispered of cohesion and sang of luxury.
And then there was the bag—oh, the bag! A one-of-a-kind 1969 Nano creation in 18-karat gold, this minuscule marvel is set to command a princely sum of 250,000 euros. It’s not merely an accessory; it’s a wearable work of art, a testament to Paco Rabanne’s enduring legacy of merging fashion with fantastical futurism.
But let us not forget the foundation upon which this golden goddess stood. Hadid’s choice of footwear was nothing short of perfection—a pair of Gianvito Rossi’s Ascent slingbacks in a matching metallic gold. Priced at a cool $995, these pointed-toe marvels epitomized 2024’s footwear zeitgeist, proving that sometimes, looking back is the best way to step forward in style.
As Hadid glided through the Parisian night, she wasn’t just wearing a dress; she was embodying a moment. This wasn’t merely a nod to Paco Rabanne’s illustrious past—it was a bold declaration of the brand’s gilded future. In an industry often accused of fleeting fancies, Hadid and Paco Rabanne reminded us all that true style is eternal, and sometimes, it’s perfectly acceptable—nay, imperative—to gild the lily.
In a world where fashion often speaks in whispers, Gigi Hadid and Paco Rabanne chose to shout in gold. And darlings, we’re all ears.
