On Tuesday evening, the Louvre Museum in Paris became a backdrop for an enchanting celebration of fashion and art.
The first Grand Fashion Dinner at this iconic venue brought together a curated selection of guests, but it was the music sensation Doechii who truly stole the spotlight. Adorned in a breathtaking yellow ballgown from Valentino’s spring 2025 couture collection, the singer radiated elegance and style.
The eye-catching gown worn by Doechii was a masterpiece from designer Alessandro Michele, marking his debut as the creative director of Valentino. Described in his collection notes as “the knot of a net of significance,” each piece reflects a deep connection to visual and symbolic memories.

Doechii’s appearance at the Louvre is just the latest chapter in her rapidly ascending career as a fashion favorite. Earlier this year, on February 25, she captured attention by opening the Dsquared2 Fall 2025 runway at Milan Fashion Week. Her striking presence at the 2025 Grammy Awards in a lace-up Thom Browne gown further cemented her status as our future style icon.

The Grand Fashion Dinner coincided with the opening of the “Louvre Couture: Art and Fashion — Statement Pieces” exhibition, a celebration of the interplay between historical art and modern fashion. This exhibit showcases an impressive collection of 66 outfits and 30 accessories, emphasizing how designers have drawn inspiration from precious objects spanning the Byzantine times to the Second French Empire. Each piece displayed alongside the Louvre’s permanent collection serves as a testament to the ongoing dialogue between art and style.
