BTS’s V proved once again why he’s one of the biggest global fashion icons as he dominated Paris Fashion Week with his stunning appearance and charisma.
On October 5, V attended Celine’s 2026 Summer Collection show at Saint-Cloud National Park in Paris, wearing a sophisticated brown long coat paired with a leopard-print tie. His classic yet bold look immediately drew attention from fans, fashion insiders, and media worldwide.
From the moment he landed in Paris, V became the center of attention. According to Talkwalker, V’s name was mentioned over 9.2 million times on X (formerly Twitter) the day of the show, with more than 33 million engagements — and those numbers nearly doubled the next day, surpassing 77 million interactions.
Even though the Celine show was private, thousands of fans gathered outside just to see him. WWD reported that fans lined up along roads and parking lots, hoping for even a glimpse. One fan shared, “I waited under the sun for two hours and walked over an hour through the park just to see him from 100 meters away — and it made me so happy. I came here to support V, and that’s all that matters.”
Touched by the cheers, V stopped to wave at fans, creating a heartwarming moment that quickly spread online.
Inside the event, V was seen chatting comfortably with Celine CEO Séverine Merle and interacting naturally with international stars, showing his effortless charm as a “social butterfly.” Fashion reporters praised his professionalism, with CNN Style’s Cathy Chitrakorn admitting, “It’s embarrassing to say, but I think V has become my favorite.”
Even outside the show, V continued to capture the spotlight. A simple video of him eating a croissant at a Paris café went viral, reaching 15 million views and 2.5 million likes in just one day — proving that everything he does becomes a moment worth talking about.
