Luxury & Celebrity Events in Paris 2026

More than 200 shoes take over the historic Coupole Wybo at Printemps Haussmann for Pas à Pas, an exhibition exploring how footwear shapes fashion, movement, proportion, and the body. Across 11 themes, discover pieces by Jean Paul Gaultier, Vivienne Westwood, Roger Vivier, ballet shoes worn by Aurélie Dupont, museum loans, private collections, and Printemps archives.

Irish Designer and Sculptor Joseph Walsh is known for working with wood on an extraordinary scale, bending and carving timber into sweeping sculptural forms. This September, he brings his monumental outdoor sculptures to Europe for the first time with Arcanum Formae at Hôtel de Sully.

Created specifically for the 17th-century hôtel particulier, the Exhibition runs from the Orangerie into the gardens. Walsh works with rare and century-old trees, allowing the grain, age, and natural curves of the timber to shape each piece. Arcanum Formae introduces new works created for Paris, including Walsh's first monumental outdoor sculptures presented in Europe.

Opening during Paris Design Week 2026, the Arcanum Formae Exhibition remains at Hôtel de Sully through October 25, 2026, covering Art Basel Paris 2026 as well.

The Petit Palais presents Eva Gonzalès: A Free-Spirited Artist from September 15, 2026, to January 24, 2027, with the first major retrospective devoted to the French painter Eva Gonzalès.

A contemporary of Berthe Morisot and Mary Cassatt, Gonzalès was the only formal pupil of Édouard Manet, yet her work has never previously been the subject of a major retrospective in France or internationally. The exhibition brings together almost 100 paintings, pastels and prints, tracing the development of an artist who established her own voice within the Parisian art world of the late 19th century.

Organized in collaboration with the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, where the exhibition will travel in February 2027, the retrospective also benefits from the support of the Musée d’Orsay.

The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris presents Simone Fattal: Cities at the Bottom of a Lake from September 18, 2026, to January 24, 2027, with around 100 works spanning more than five decades of the Lebanese American artist’s career.

Paintings, ceramics, sculptures, collages and works on paper reveal the breadth of Fattal’s practice. Loans from museum and private collections. Her work is shaped by archaeology, mythology and the Mediterranean, with recurring references to ancient civilizations, epic narratives and landscapes marked by history and displacement.

The Musée d’Art Moderne de Paris presents Kerry James Marshall: The Histories from September 18, 2026, to January 24, 2027, marking the first exhibition in France devoted to one of the most important contemporary American painters.

Bringing together 70 works from major museum and private collections across Europe and North America, the exhibition spans more than four decades of Marshall’s practice and includes eight new paintings created specifically for the project. Known for placing Black figures at the center of large-scale compositions, Marshall draws on art history, everyday life and collective memory while questioning who has historically been represented within Western painting.

Organized by the Royal Academy of Arts in London in collaboration with Kunsthaus Zürich, The Histories gives collectors and contemporary art followers a rare opportunity to see significant works by Marshall together in Paris, including pieces rarely shown outside their permanent or private collections.

Métamorphoses, les chapeaux de Maison Michel hat exhibition, celebrates the Parisian milliner’s craftsmanship through the techniques, materials, and archival forms behind its creations. Presented at La Galerie du 19M, the exhibition explores Maison Michel’s work with felt, straw, satin ribbons, veils, and traditional wooden hat blocks, while highlighting its role within Chanel’s Métiers d’art ecosystem.

The exhibition brings together runway pieces, archival references, collaborations, and examples of the specialist savoir-faire used to shape each hat. Visitors can also discover Maison Michel’s historic collection of more than 3,000 wooden forms, alongside workshops, guided tours, and talks scheduled throughout the exhibition.

The Musée Bourdelle presents L’étoffe de l’artiste. De Rosa Bonheur à Sonia Delaunay from September 23, 2026, to January 24, 2027, examining how artists used clothing to construct their public image from the late 19th to the mid-20th century.

The exhibition pairs garments worn by artists including Gustav Klimt, Rosa Bonheur, Foujita, Sonia Delaunay and Camille Bernier with paintings, sculptures, photographs and works on paper. From studio smocks and workwear to carefully styled public appearances, clothing becomes part of the way artists defined their identity, challenged convention and presented themselves to the world.

The show also looks at artists who treated dress as an extension of their creative practice, including Sonia Delaunay, whose use of color and geometric pattern crossed between painting, textiles and fashion.

Presented at the Musée Bourdelle with support from the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and the Musée d’Orsay, the exhibition places fashion inside a broader history of artistic self-presentation rather than treating clothing simply as costume.
