The Paris Haute Couture Week is not just another fashion week headlined by dazzling lights — even amidst the glamour and glitz, the celebration of garments as art remains at its core. But the presence of stars cannot be overlooked, as ateliers prefer having known faces in their showcase lineups to improve their visibility.
Over the past few days, we saw a host of celebrities gracing the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026, including the biggest of the Asian stars.
As the Fall/Winter fashion extravaganza concludes in the French capital, we look at some of the prominent Asian celebrities who were spotted in the front row at various shows during the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026.
Asian celebrities in the FROW at the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026
Liu Xuan Cheng
Show: Rahul Mishra
This year, Chinese actor Liu Xuan Cheng marked his second appearance at the Paris Haute Couture Week. He was one of the major talking points of Rahul Mishra’s show titled ‘Devi: The Eternal Muse’ — the actor sat in the front row dressed in a custom-made, ‘avant-garde’ couture suit by the atelier.
A reflection of refined luxury, the fabric was adorned with nature-inspired hand embroidery — motifs of birds, flowers, and stars ran along the entire jacket, right down the sleeves. This outfit was in tandem with the natural botanical and starscape artwork theme of the collection.
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Show: Christian Dior
In the past decade (and a little more), Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s jump from Bollywood to Hollywood has been one of the major talking points back in India. The actress took little time to adjust to life in the USA, and today she has levelled up from a ‘Desi Girl’ to a global icon.
Her outfit at Paris Haute Couture Week 2026 can easily be seen as a celebration of her blooming Hollywood career. At the Christian Dior presentation, she appeared alongside her husband, Nick Jonas. The actress fashioned a vibrant orange midi dress from the maison’s retro Hollywood-inspired Cruise 2027 collection. The sleeveless dress came with a plunging neckline and layers of textured orange and red petals.
Isha Ambani
Show: Rahul Mishra
Isha Ambani’s outfit was a reflection of Rahul Mishra’s ‘Devi’ (or goddess) theme. Rooted in the 2,000-year-old South Indian temple sculptures, the dress featured a structured corset bodice in slate stone-grey with a body-skimming ivory peplum skirt. It had heavy, metallic hand embroidery along the sleeves and the neckline that resembled carved stone necklaces.

‘Dubai Bling’ star Farhana Bodi was among the popular Asian celebrities who graced the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026. As an official guest of Rahul Mishra’s presentation, she attended the show dressed in a sculpted black couture gown custom-made by the atelier.
The dress fashioned a form-fitting bodice held by a structured architecture framing her shoulders. Bodi paired the outfit with black opera gloves and a heavy diamond choker, amplifying her ‘dark goddess’ look.
MINGYU

Show: Christian Dior
Few Asian celebrities sent the crowd at the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026 into a frenzy as SEVENTEEN member and K-pop sensation MINGYU. As an ambassador of Dior, he attended the maison’s show at the Musée Rodin.
MINGYU opted for a tailored ensemble, consisting of a loose-fitted navy blue double-breasted suit. Beneath the jacket, he decided to go completely shirtless, thereby bringing a modern masculine aura to his look. The K-pop star was seated right beside Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Nick Jonas during the presentation.

Show: Chanel
Oscar-winning actress Michelle Yeoh stole the spotlight at the Chanel show in the Grand Palais. She sported a platinum blonde pageboy haircut with softly tousled layers that is in stark contrast to her signature look.
In terms of her outfit, Yeoh was seen wearing a custom-tailored silver Chanel tweed skirt suit featuring floral embroidery and a knee-length hemline. She layered her jacket over a clean white top and paired it with black cap-toe pumps and cat-eye sunglasses.

South Korea’s Han So-hee embraced a fairytale-inspired look for the Christian Dior presentation at the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026. She wore a sleeveless satin maxi gown imbued in a faded peach-blush hue. The fabric featured fluidly draped tiers and floral embroidery in pink and white along the entire silhouette.

Thai-German actress Kimberley Anne Woltemas, known for her work in Thai dramas, was among the popular Asian celebrities spotted at the Paris Haute Couture Week 2026. She attended the Christian Dior show as an ambassador of the maison.
Woltemas pulled off a Dior ensemble that seamlessly blended classic French tailoring heritage with modern aesthetics. Her structure-softened black Dior bar jacket is a brainchild of the maison’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson, who reimagined the iconic silhouette with a contemporary flair. She paired it with a matching tailored black bottom piece that anchored the signature cinched-waist appearance.
