Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026 is entering its final stretch, and with it comes a wave of K-pop royalty. On the morning of October 4, Jennie (BLACKPINK) and V (BTS) were spotted departing South Korea en route to Paris, both set to attend fashion shows for the luxury brands they represent— Chanel and Celine, respectively.
What makes this moment particularly buzzworthy? The duo famously made headlines two years ago when they were allegedly seen strolling hand-in-hand along the Seine in Paris. Now, in what some are calling an accidental reunion, both idols are jetting off to France on the exact same morning. Coincidence—or a subtle nod to the past?
Jennie exuded quiet luxury as she departed for Paris. Dressed in a navy longline coat layered over beige basics and pinstriped trousers, her look was completed with suede boots and the ultra-coveted Chanel 25 mini bag. The styling was a perfect fusion of Parisian chic and CEO glam—exactly the kind of image that earns her the nickname Human Chanel.
Her appearance at the Chanel runway show, scheduled for 1:00 AM (KST) on October 7, is highly anticipated. Fans are speculating she may also surprise at the Jean Paul Gaultier show the night before, on October 5.
This season, Jennie completes BLACKPINK’s fashion week lineup. While Rosé garnered mixed reactions, Jisoo turned heads with a dramatic Dior reveal, and Lisa dominated red carpets globally. Jennie’s role? To close the season with a bang—and perhaps restore balance to the group’s fashion impact.
Contrasting his recent bulkier image, V reemerged in a softer, slimmer look, donning an oversized striped shirt from Celine, relaxed-fit jeans, and a loosely tied necktie. The minimalist ensemble evoked the charm of a fresh-faced idol just making his debut—subtle yet refined, embodying the essence of Celine’s new creative direction.
Celine will make its grand return to Paris Fashion Week on October 5, showcasing a new collection under its recently appointed creative director. V, as one of the house’s biggest ambassadors, is expected to sit front row—his presence adding buzz to an already hyped comeback.
With all BTS members expected to complete their military service by the end of this year, their individual appearances at global fashion events are part of a larger strategy: to stay visible ahead of their 2026 group comeback.
While their outfits lean toward safe, neutral tones, it’s their charisma and international influence that continue to dominate headlines. For V, showing up at Celine with a more youthful, rejuvenated look signals a possible shift in image—perhaps even a teaser for what’s to come musically.
