Demna's Best Celebrity Fashion Moments for Balenciaga

Who can forget when Rihanna arrived fashionably late to the 2021 Met Gala and shut down the red carpet in a huge Balenciaga overcoat with a cinched drop-waist skirt and voluminous collar?

Of course, the 2021 Met Gala also featured Kim Kardashian—we assume. The reality star walked the red carpet in a bodysuit that covered her from head-to-toe, completely obscuring her face.

Michaela Coel shined in a sequin-covered electric blue jumpsuit at the event.

The model wore a black dress from Balenciaga’s spring 2022 collection, with a voluminous, gathered front and train in the back.

Bieber wore a comically oversized Balenciaga suit to the Grammys in 2022, completing the look with Demna’s Crocs collaboration.

The actress solidified her standing as a style star to watch when she attended the premiere of her film, Bones and All, in a kelly green Balenciaga fall 2022 couture dress.

The Euphoria star attended the 2nd annual gala in a crystal-covered, netted dress from Balenciaga’s fall 2022 couture collection.

Gwendoline Christie is never afraid to take a fashion risk and she proved just as much when she wore a bright red dress featuring sculptural details at the back from Demna’s fall 2022 couture collection.

The model looked incredibly chic in a custom Balenciaga dress at the 2023 Met Gala celebrating Karl Lagerfeld.

The French singer stunned in a rhinestone-embroidered fall 2023 dress with a high neck and structured shoulders at the Cannes premiere of L'Ete Dernier (Last Summer).

One of Demna’s biggest supporters, Isabelle Huppert, attended the premiere of Maestro at the Venice Film Festival in a silver fringe-covered dress from the designer’s resort 2024 collection.

The actress showed off Demna’s softer side in a baby blue fall 2023 couture dress featuring shredded tulle and a large satin bow at her waist.

Rosalía brought the sheer dress trend to the Latin Grammys, attending the event in a black lace dress from Balenciaga’s spring 2024 collection.

Charles Melton’s suit for the Los Angeles premiere of May December may initially seem like your typical, oversized design, but a closer look reveals that the actor is actually wearing two pairs of pants, one of which is simply draped over the other and pooling on the red carpet.

For the first time ever, Demna recreated an old Cristóbal Balenciaga look for the red carpet, and thank god he did, because the dress Carey Mulligan wore to the 2024 Oscars is one of her best from the entire award season.

Demna chopped off the arms and highneck of Huppert’s silver fringed gown and put Lindsay Lohan in it for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in 2024.

Demna helped Huppert honor her family at the 2024 Met Gala. Huppert is the great-great-granddaughter of Marthe Bertrand, who founded Callot Sœurs with her three sisters, Marie, Régina, and Joséphine, in 1895. An ivory wedding dress, designed by the sisters for Natalie Potter in 1931, was featured in the accompanying exhibition, and Huppert wore her Balenciaga recreation on the red carpet.

The 2024 Met Gala was all about recreations for Demna. He put Kidman in a gorgeous ivory and black ballgown, inspired by a Balenciaga dress from 1951.

Michael Shannon wore a classic Balenciaga tux to the Met in 2024, completing the look with the brand’s chip bag.

Huppert looked exceptionally cool at the Cannes premiere of Horizon: An American Saga in Balenciaga’s version of a high fashion bathrobe.

The marigold dress Lily Gladstone wore to the Kinds of Kindness premiere at Cannes was inspired by an archival 1959 Cristóbal Balenciaga design.

The actress sparkled in a blue sequin-covered dress with structured hips at the Chopard Trophy event during Cannes.

Diane Kruger wore a cobalt blue Balenciaga fall 2024 couture suit to the Kering Women in Motion Awards, but this was no ordinary two-piece. The blazer featured a dramatically open, structured collar, which framed the actress’ face beautifully.

Huppert embraced a papal look at the Venice Film Festival closing ceremony in a white Balenciaga pre-fall 2024 gown with a large funnel collar.

Kerry Washington kept it simple for the Kering Foundation’s annual Caring For Women dinner, wearing a sparkling, silver dress featuring a mockneck and short sleeves.

Kidman embraced the old Hollywood look for the 4th annual Academy Gala, attending the event in a black fall 2022 couture dress with a boat neckline and fitted waist.

She tapped Demna to dress her again just a few months later and wore a demure, tulle appliqué-covered dress that really fit the Babygirl vibe.

This black, high-neck gown may seem simple, but give it a closer look and you will see gorgeous draping details that wrap up Yeoh as if she got stuck in a glamorous fashion tornado.

Kidman also wore the designer to the 2025 Golden Globes, attending the red carpet in a draped silver gown with a completely open back.

From the front, Kim Kardashian’s Vanity Fair dress looked like a simple white ball gown, but when she turned around, she revealed a column dress that showed off her famous figure.
