Pharrell Williams turned the plaza outside Paris’ Pompidou Center into a global spectacle for his latest Louis Vuitton show.

Paris Fashion Week opened Tuesday with Pharrell Williams' Spring/Summer 2026 Louis Vuitton show, rooted in Indian culture and staged in front of the Centre Pompidou.

Pharrell fused Paris and Mumbai into a vibrant, sun-soaked vision of Vuitton’s 2026 man - a globe-trotting, style-forward dandy. Models marched in jewelled cricket jerseys, monsoon-sized sleeves, and Bollywood-inspired tailoring, all set against a life-sized Snakes and Ladders board by architect Bijoy Jain.
