Winona Ryder, Chloe Cherry and Hudson Williams shine at Balenciaga’s ‘Euphoria’-inspired show during Paris Fashion Week

The Balenciaga show in Paris blended fashion, cinema and television with the presence of stars from ‘Euphoria’ and new ambassadors of the house.

The latest Balenciaga runway presentation at Paris Fashion Week became an immersive experience that extended far beyond the catwalk. Guests arriving at the venue, located near the Champs-Élysées, stepped into a dark, club-like setting where vast wraparound screens projected images of the moon, crashing waves and glowing sunsets. Among these visuals were also exclusive teasers from the highly anticipated third season of the series ‘Euphoria’.

This cinematic atmosphere set the stage for the arrival of numerous figures from the entertainment world. Among them was actor Hudson Williams, star of ‘Heated Rivalry’, who appeared wearing a black leather jacket with a wide portrait collar. The actor warmly greeted comedian Jordan Firstman, putting aside any tension created by their public online exchange regarding the depiction of sex scenes in the HBO Max series.

The event also brought together Rachel Sennott and Josh Hutcherson, Firstman’s co-stars in ‘I Love LA’, while Williams attended as one of the newly announced Balenciaga brand ambassadors alongside figures such as Winona Ryder, Harris Dickinson and Roh Yoonseo.

The presence of Winona Ryder, accompanied by designer Scott Mackinlay Hahn, generated considerable excitement among attendees. The ‘Stranger Things’ actress greeted the house’s chief executive officer Gianfranco Gianangeli with enthusiasm, creating one of the evening’s most talked-about moments.

Members of the ‘Euphoria’ cast were also present, including Chloe Cherry, who will return as Faye in the series’ third season, premiering on 12 April. She was joined by new cast members Danielle Deadwyler, Anna Van Patten, Priscilla Delgado, Darrell Britt-Gibson and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje.

Series creator Sam Levinson collaborated with Balenciaga creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli to design the show’s scenography. The event’s soundtrack featured previously unheard music by Hans Zimmer, as well as tracks by Labrinth and Rosalía, who will also appear as a guest in the upcoming season of ‘Euphoria’.
