Paris Fashion Week might as well be the Met Gala with a runway, but when it comes to Dior, the guest list is basically A-list royalty. The legendary French house always draws the buzziest front row, and this season it was Willow Smith who stole the spotlight. Sitting pretty at the Dior Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear show at the Louvre, the 24 year old singer and Dior Beauty ambassador served us a stacked braided hairstyle-and- frosty baby-blue eye shadow that was impossible to ignore.
Willow walked in wearing Dior from head to toe, alongside fellow ambassadors Anya Taylor-Joy and Blackpink’s Jisoo, but it was her hair that defied gravity. Her stacked braided hairstyle wasn’t your average “throw it in a bun and hope for the best.”
Oh no—this was an architectural masterpiece with three distinct layers. It started with two braided sections at her hairline: a smaller angled roll and a larger section sculpted to perfection, probably with the help of a hair donut. The drama continued as the lengths were tied into a knot that melted into long, soft waves. From the front, it looked chic. From the side, it looked like Dior hired an engineer. Beehive? Bouffant? Both. And only Willow could make it look this cool.
But holdup!—her makeup….mmm, Willow doubled down on the drama with frosty baby-blue eyeshadow dusted all over her lids, brushed up to the brow, and sparkling in her inner corners. Pair that with a wash of pink blush and suddenly she’s pastel perfection personified. Given her Dior status, we’re betting this is the Diorshow Mono Couleur in Denim, but even if it isn’t, consider us sold.
This Dior show carried extra weight—it marked the debut of Jonathan Anderson as the house’s creative director. And who better to anchor that historic moment than Willow, who’s been with the Dior family since 2024 and starred in multiple campaigns, including one with Taylor-Joy for the Forever Glow Star Filter? Dior once called her “one of the most visionary and daring young women of her generation,” and after this Paris Fashion Week appearance, it’s hard to disagree.
Willow Smith didn’t just show up to Dior’s Paris show—she basically gave it a halo with hair stacked to the heavens and frosty blue eyes that could freeze the Seine. Marie Antoinette could never.
