As the Paris Haute Couture Week Spring Summer 2026 comes to an end, it's safe to say that we are creatively satiated. Here are our picks for the coolest looks this season, ICYMI.
The Best Of Paris Haute Couture Week Spring Summer 2026

You have got to be living under a rock if you haven't seen this beauty of a look from Gaurav Gupta's show. The collection, named "The Divine Androgyne" explores the amalgamation of the masculine and feminine. While the entire collection was a work of art, this look (or intertwined set of looks) in particular stood apart. Interpret it as you may.

This beautiful Armani Privè dress is the wedding dress of our dreams. It has all the gravitas in the world, and is still somehow very romantic. The fingerless gloves? Love! Easily the best look from the show.

Stéphane Rolland is nothing if not romantic. And this look reiterates just that. The super exaggerated shoulder pads and the dramatic slit cut out with bling galore? Stunning!
ValentinoGetty Images
This beautiful blue Valentino look has our entire heart. The structured detailing on the shoulders and the waist is as beautiful as it gets. Not to forget, bows aren't going anywhere, in case you were wondering!

Another Valentino look that we're totally crushing on is this stunning black and gold set. Bows? Pockets? Sheer? Yes please!

This is the collar of our dreams, may we just say.
Schiaparelli Getty Images
This massive-voluminous-ball-gown-but-make-it-cropped look was easily one of the most stand-put looks from the Schiaparelli show!

Flowers seem to be the flavour of the season!

Mogras have often made appearances on the runways, but this is a rather fresh take. Gaurav Gupta's collection was subtly peppered with Indian elements, but we particularly loved the use of mogras across the drape of this sari.

While breastplates aren't exactly groundbreaking anymore, this take on the breastplate is surely fresh. This beautiful breastplate is reminiscent of remains of ancient Indian statues that the model seems to be holding as opposed to wearing it.
Robert WunGetty Images
One collection we always wait for? Robert Wun! And safe to say it did not disappoint. While there was a bunch of really cool looks, our favourite is this otherworldly ivory look that had texture on it that resembles the human anatomy! How cool is that?
Robert WunGetty Images
This cosmic, bling-galore look from Robert Wun also deserves a mention!
Viktor & RolfGetty Images
How cool are these origami-esque sleeves on this otherwise gloomy Viktor & Rolf look?!

And the origami-esque detail on the neckline of this dress!
Georges HobeikaGetty Images
The cage-like structure of this Georges Hobeika dress reminds us why we love avant-garde fashion so much!

The peekeboo neckline, the basque wasitline and the sheer panelled skirt? Love!

This skirt might just be the coolest skirt ever.
