Paris Jackson just reminded us all why she’s a fashion force to be reckoned with. The 26-year-old singer and model turned heads at the Louvre Grand Fashion Dinner in Paris, stepping out in a jaw-dropping Iris van Herpen gown that looked like some very chic couture spiders spun it.

The floor-length black dress featured an intricate macramé bodice, with delicate, web-like weaving that framed her tattoos and cascaded into a dramatic flow of fabric. If gothic mermaid was a vibe, Paris nailed it.

A High-Fashion Deep Dive

Paris’ dress wasn’t just a showstopper. It came straight from Iris van Herpen’s “Sensory Seas” collection, which drew inspiration from neuroscience and deep-sea creatures. Think jellyfish elegance with a futuristic edge. 

The craftsmanship was unreal, blending fashion and art in a way that made perfect sense for an event at the Louvre.

Just days before, Paris attended Elton John’s Oscars Viewing Party in Los Angeles in another striking look—a sheer, embroidered Zuhair Murad gown with old Hollywood charm and a modern twist. Whether serving ethereal couture in Paris or classic glam in LA, she’s proving she has a style range.

The Louvre’s Night of Fashion

The Louvre Grand Fashion Dinner celebrates the intersection of fashion and art, and this year’s event coincided with the museum’s “Louvre Couture: Art and Fashion—Statement Pieces” exhibit. The show explores how designers have drawn inspiration from historical pieces spanning from the Byzantine era to the Second French Empire.

"I get to make music. i get to experience the joy of loving my dogs and cat. i get to feel heartbreak in all it’s glory," she wrote."I feel the sun on my skin and it’s warm. i’ve found that life keeps happening regardless of whether i’m sober or not, but today i get to show up for it."
