Sophia Roe was the very image of elegance at Armani Privé, her black strapless dress both understated and powerful. Accessorised with a chunky bangle and delicate necklace, the look was a masterclass in the old adage, 'less is more.’

For a show with as much buzz as Balenciaga’s (we’re looking at you, Alexis Stone), it was only right that Bryanboy showed up and showed out in a flowing floral gown. Decked out in a long burgundy wig, wrap-around sunglasses, and holding a Balenciaga crisp packet bag, Bryanboy perfectly encapsulated Balenciaga’s tendency to juxtapose to the extreme.

Speaking of extremes, we here at Vogue Scandinavia were floored by Fredrik Robertsson (and his embellished baby!) outside Schiaparelli’s couture show. Besides his head-turning designer child, Robertsson pulled from designers like Hermès, Balenciaga, and Jean Paul Gaultier to complete the look.

Pernille Tiesbeck took a more minimalistic approach at Balenciaga, donning a trench coat from the brand along with sleek black heels and sunglasses. With an oversized, popped collar, the coat created intrigue with its strong silhouette.

Ahead of viewing Nicolas Di Felice’s Jean Paul Gaultier couture collaboration, Wiklund looked stunning in her own couture look. Her tailored black suit was beautifully offset by her asymmetric, belted shirt, while royal blue stilettos brought an unexpected pop of colour.

At Chanel’s haute couture show at the Palais Garnier, Vogue Scandinavia Editor in Chief Martina Bonnier (pictured here with Sophia Roe, Bryanboy, and Pernille Teisbaek), opted for a full-red look, the ruffled sleeves of her dress echoed in the bows adorning her heels.
