Gigi Hadid, Keira Knightley, and Naomi Campbell Dazzle at the Louvre’s First-Ever Gala
March 5, 2025 – Grand Dîner du Louvre: Paris’ Gala Rivaling the Met
The Louvre Museum opened its doors to its chicest night ever. Fashion’s most powerful names gathered beneath the pyramid for the first-ever Grand Dîner du Louvre, an evening where couture, celebrity, and high society set the tone for Paris Fashion Week. This gala was a calculated display of influence, where invitees dressed with the precision of a chess move.
Inside, the grandeur of the Louvre’s halls framed a night built on image, exclusivity, and a mission. Beneath the polished performances and gilded couture, Le Grand Dîner du Louvre raised over €1 million for the Museum’s restoration and educational projects. Paris Fashion Week had begun, and the stakes were high.
Fashion’s Power Players Take the Stage
The red carpet outside the Louvre Pyramid reflected a battleground of image and control. Gigi Hadid arrived first, her strapless gown covered in metallic scales, catching the light like armor. The dress was rigid, sculpted, and commanding. She paired it with diamond-heavy accessories from Lili Claspe, Ritique, Grown Brilliance, Lionheart, and LÖF—the kind of jewelry that speaks in headlines.
Keira Knightley took a different route—black velvet, structured shoulders, a sweeping ruffled skirt. The kind of dress that moves with intent. At her side, her husband, James Righton, the contrast of sharp tailoring against soft decadence.
Then came Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, leaning into the night’s unspoken rule: black, severe, sculpted. The bodice cut like a corset, the skirt falling away in a thigh-high slit. She posed against the Louvre’s stone facade, Jeremy Scott beside her, both knowing that every shot would be dissected by morning.
The Beckhams played it effortlessly cool. Victoria, in liquid black silk, a lesson in restraint. David, in a perfectly cut suit with a fringed scarf, proving yet again that true power doesn’t need theatrics. They moved through the crowd like they owned it.
A Night Measured in Influence
The Louvre’s grandeur shifted from museum to spectacle. Guests moved through galleries transformed into intimate spaces, where art and couture didn’t coexist—they competed.
A private viewing of Louvre Couture: Objets d’Art, Objets de Mode set the tone. Over 100 couture pieces stood alongside masterpieces, each commanding space. Dior, McQueen, Chanel—architects of fashion—contrasted against centuries-old paintings, both symbols of power and status in their time.
Tyra Banks played the showman, posing like the runway was still hers. A sparkling coat over a structured corset, her presence impossible to ignore. Ashley Graham took the opposite approach—oversized black tailoring, extreme wide-leg trousers, sharp shoulders. A challenge to the night’s rigid dress code.
Then came Paris Jackson, a reminder that fashion doesn’t always follow the rules. A cut-out gown, tattoos in full view, a rejection of precision. She wasn’t sculpted—she was unapologetic.
Beyond the spectacle, the night had an agenda. The Grand Dîner du Louvre wasn’t just about indulgence—it was about securing a legacy. The event raised over €1 million, ensuring this was only the beginning.
Dinner by Michelin-starred chef Anne-Sophie Pic mirrored the night—classicism with sharp, unexpected edges. Then came Doechii, closing the evening with a performance that shifted the energy from historic grandeur to now.
As the night ended, the Louvre Pyramid glowed against the dark sky—a final reminder of what this event represents: power, spectacle, and control. Paris Fashion Week had officially begun.
