The Spring 2026 season of Paris Fashion Week is officially underway, with Anthony Vaccarello of Saint Laurent kicking off the fashion festivities with a spectacular star-studded event. As the sun set behind the Eiffel Tower, celebrities like Madonna, Kate Moss, Catherine Deneuve, and Charlotte Rampling gathered to witness the Spring 2026 Saint Laurent collection. The runway featured bold shoulders and an even bolder color palette, adorned with an abundance of white hydrangeas. Billowing gowns, bejeweled statement earrings, and oversized shades were also prominently displayed. As the Eiffel Tower twinkled in the background, Vaccarello favorite Bella Hadid made a stunning runway comeback.
Review of the Saint Laurent Spring 2026 Collection
Read below for reactions from theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Night of a thousand ugly grand mumsy night gowns.” [tourbillions]
“Another lazy 80s YSL cosplay by Vaccarello. A million similar looks in earth tones with some vile gowns at the end. The set was great, but it’s a fashion show, not a scenography design event. He couldn’t care less, and it shows.” [Avonlea]
“I like Anthony but what a bore. Does he even care anymore? And oversize everything? Beyond tired.” [Alquimista]
“Fantastic presentation! I like the collection but in a way, it’s very hard to dislike a Saint Laurent by Vaccarello show as it’s always very easy on the eye, easy to understand, perfectly curated and orchestrated. It’s always missing in soul and signature but it’s terribly efficient.” [Lola701]
“I might be biased but to me he’s the one creative director who consistently delivers interesting shows and collections.” [blusheels]
“Anyone saying this wasn’t a good collection doesn’t understand Yves Saint Laurent house codes. I loved this collection, and Anthony Vaccarello continues his path of greatness. Excellent.” [jeremydante]
“LOVED EVERYTHING! Anthony always delivers.” [mepps]
