Christian Dior creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri presented a lineup of ruffled styles for Tuesday's French fashion house's fall-winter runway show. The show was set to a dramatic backdrop of fiery meteorites, smoking icebergs, and a giant, prehistoric bird.
American director Robert Wilson orchestrated the set, sending models marching through changing scenery—under hovering rocks, pointy mountains of ice, and across a striped runway.
They donned pointed boots, tailcoats, and bustiers that resembled shields, paired with knee-high socks and hair pulled back into ponytails, tucked into their outfits.

Ruffled collars, lace, and sheer fabrics added softness to the designs, which included references to past creative directors. One T-shirt was marked "J'adore Dior" in a nod to John Galliano.
Held in a temporary structure in the Tuileries Gardens of the Louvre Museum, the show drew crowds and screaming fans angling for a view of celebrities, including K-pop group Blackpink's Jisoo.
At the show's end, the models returned to the stage in pairs, paused, and faced the audience as feathers floated from the ceiling.
When the models left, the spotlight lit one of the entrances, and Chiuri emerged for her bow, prompting cheers from the audience.
Paris Fashion Week runs through March 11 and features a mix of some of the world's biggest brands, including Chanel, Hermes, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent, as well as smaller labels like Weinsanto.
