Fashion Week: A dress worn by Lady Gaga on display for free at a luxury Paris hotel

Feathers, crystals and spectacular silhouettes are taking over a Paris luxury hotel. For Haute Couture Fashion Week, the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg is showcasing several fashion pieces worn by international stars, free of charge, until October 6, 2026.

In the midst of Fashion Week Haute Couture, the Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg is joining the couture rhythm. Until October 6, 2026, the luxury hotel in the 8th arrondissement is staging a (mini) free fashion exhibition dedicated to the house On Aura Tout Vu, just a short walk from Concorde and from the Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Here, the format is tailor-made: just a few silhouettes, but chosen for their character. Installed under the lobby skylight and in the hotel's exterior display windows, they extend the exhibition onto the street. This approach is well known at Sofitel Paris Le Faubourg, which regularly turns its lobby into a temporary gallery open to everyone, around fashion, design, or the arts and crafts.

The eye is first drawn to the red-and-black feathered gown worn by Lady Gaga on the Allure cover. Also on display is the ivory-and-gold dress made for Louis and the Yakuza during X Factor Italia, a spectacular turquoise-blue coat worn on stage by the renowned Chinese actor and singer Zhang Zhehan, as well as four other silhouettes from the house's couture collections.

Based at the Palais-Royal, the house founded by Livia Stoianova and Yassen Samouilov pursues a couture that reshapes the silhouette with embroidery, plumage, crystals and tactile effects. Not aiming for exhaustiveness, this compact exposition mode offers a preview through a few standout pieces, expressive enough to hint at the house's universe.

Free to visit, this exhibit offers a couture interlude in the heart of Paris's luxury district.
