African Celebrities Show Out at Louis Vuitton’s Menswear Showcase at Paris Fashion Week
The stars showed up and showed out for Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2025 show at the ongoing Paris Fashion Week. It’s the second straight year the ready-to-wear collection and its attendant premiere event is curated by respected music producer and fashion buff, Pharrel Williams.
The show took place in the courtyard of the UNESCO headquarters, on a turf-lined runway. Drawing on a globalist, travel theme, flags of dozens of countries served as part of the backdrop for the runway, setting the stage for Williams’ “Convention of LVers.”
Models walked the green runway in slick bomber jackets, fur coats, rhinestone-encrusted glasses, and more luxurious pieces. Similar to last year’s presentation, an orchestra and a choir performed, while selected songs were added to parts of the show. Nigerian singer Adekunle Gold’s “Falling,” the Pharrel-produced song off last year’s Tequila Ever After, played to close out the show.
Gold was part of an extensive contingent of African guests at the show, including Burna Boy, Wizkid, Baloji, Tems, Uncle Waffles and more. Here’s how African celebrities pulled up to the Louis Vuitton show.
