It is now early March, and the mighty locomotive that is fall/winter 2023 fashion month has been chugging along since [checks notes]…late January. After making its earlier stops for the men’s shows and couture week, the train has at last arrived at Paris Fashion Week (mostly home to the biggest womenswear shows on earth). But luckily for us, there are still plenty of famous fellas on board, and they’re all still sporting their fashion-month finest.
Jaden Smith carried a tiny latched trunk shaped like a dollhouse to Louis Vuitton, where Pharrell, the house’s newly announced menswear designer, also represented LV in a very regal velvet monogrammed jacket. David Beckham and the rest of his brood got all dressed up for mum Victoria’s runway show. Steve Lacy made the case for black leather opera gloves at Saint Laurent. And Jared Leto, the perpetual dark prince of fashion month, hit full send on his looks for a whole bunch of shows, proving that the act of getting dressed to go watch a parade of dressed-up people can be exactly as fun as you want it to be.
And on that note, let’s take a look at some of the wackiest and wildest celeb style from Paris Fashion Week so far:

Jared Leto at Vivienne Westwood
More of Leto’s tongue, minus the dye. However, the argument could be made that his gleaming grills (and/or layered flannels and platform boots) do enough to make up for this omission.

Pairing an ermine collar with blue jeans is a spot-on Pharrell fashion wink for the incoming LV creative director.

If you’ve got chest tattoos you’re keen to show off, a sheer top is the next best thing to going shirtless.

There have been plenty of splendid pairs of blue jeans to note at Paris Fashion Week so far, but who better than an off-duty JPG to give easy-going denim a fashion cosign?
