Yves Saint Laurent’s creative director, Anthony Vaccarello, unveiled his most recent Fall collection during Paris Fashion Week. The collection boasted several evening mini dresses, separates, and extravagant gowns in a rich gemstone color palette. It highlights simplicity through streamlined silhouettes while staying true to YSL’s heritage. Most items have a sleek yet striking inverted triangle design emphasizing the structured shoulders and slim skirts.
A-list celebrities, including Kate Moss, Hailey Bieber, and Zoe Saldana, attended the much-anticipated Saint Laurent fashion presentation near the Eiffel Tower. While the house presented a new, vibrant collection, the stars kept a low-key look, with black as the unifying theme. Fortunately, their choice of black outfits is anything but boring, partly because of their footwear choices.

1. Kate Moss Gets Bold in Pointed Mules and See-Through Top
Kate Moss, who stands 5’5 1/2”, boosted her height with a pair of Mary Jane mules. A modern take on the traditional Mary Jane style, these mules feature an open back similar to a classic mule but also have the delicate appearance of a traditional Mary Jane with a subtle strap across the foot, adding softness and femininity while creating a distinctive, modern design.
The shoes also have pointy toes for a sophisticated touch and high enough stiletto heels for added height.

Moss paired her shoes with black cigarette pants, secured with a self-tie rope belt that added uniqueness and creativity to the outfit. The trousers hugged her slender figure, creating a sleek and chic look.
Up top, Kate took a daring route by going braless under a sheer black blouse with sparkly polka dots all over. While the high neck gave the top a hint of modesty, the see-through sheer fabric revealed more than just her cleavage.
Kate layered it underneath a black Saint Laurent double-breasted blazer that did nothing to cover her modesty. Still, I love how it elevated the look and gave it a touch of opulence. From the house’s Fall 2023 collection, the plush velvet blazer featured peaked lapels and broad, padded shoulders, emphasizing a powerful silhouette. You can get it for $3,600 at Net-a-Porter.
Typical of Kate Moss, the ensemble was bold and unique, deviating from the standard for work wear. She made it even more powerful with her accessories, including mismatched earrings, a chunky gold bangle, and a few delicate rings.

2. Hailey Bieber Channels Rebel Chic in Ankle Chain Pumps and Leather Jacket
I love Hailey Bieber’s shoe choice, which balances timeless elegance and a modern flair.
The Saint Laurent “Doville” pumps are cut from soft, luxurious satin. They have elongated toes with charming snipped ends that give the toe a subtle square shape. This element has become a signature style of the French fashion house.
Hailey gained a few extra inches with the pump’s 4.33-inch stiletto heels, but the real showstopper is the delicate golden YSL ankle chain, adding a touch of understated rock ’n’ roll glamour. It creates a dainty aesthetic that pairs well with the luxe pumps. At the same time, the combination of the gold chain and black satin creates a rebellious aesthetic, complementing her edgy all-black ensemble.
These striking Saint Laurent pumps are $1,200 at Mytheresa.

Hailey Bieber’s look was on point, as always, showcasing the perfect fusion of class and edge in a way that’s both timeless and of the moment. She paired the gorgeous shoes with a skintight little black dress that hugged her figure perfectly, highlighting her silhouette and accentuating her long legs.
To give the otherwise understated dress a bit of attitude, she topped it off with an oversized 1980s-style bomber jacket with a gartered hem and practical pockets. I like how she paired them with black polka-dot tights, elegantly wrapping her legs while creating a cohesive and confident aura.
Wearing her blonde tresses in an effortless updo, Hailey accessorized her head-to-toe black ensemble with the $4,600 yellow-gold Tiffany Lock earrings for a hint of sparkle. She also wore sleek sunglasses to add star power to the look.
The outfit was, in a sense, effortless and chic, but I like how it encapsulated Hailey’s knack for combining high fashion with practical essentials and effortlessly cool style.

3. Zoe Saldana Stands Out in Knee High Boots and Plaid Bloomers
Fresh off her first-ever Oscar win, Zoe Saldana made a powerful statement at the Saint Laurent show, sitting in the front row in a pair of thigh-high boots that stood out from the crowd.
The thigh-high length was unexpected, especially compared to the more traditional black pumps everyone else wore at the show. Made in Italy from glossy leather, these boots glimmer under the lights, giving off an air of luxurious glamour while making Zoe hard to ignore.
They have a snug fit that hugs and accentuates her long, slim legs, creating a sleek and polished look. The thick platform and towering block heels are both a fashion statement and comfortable. They give a stable and supportive base, making it easy for the actress to walk and stand for hours!

Zoe Saldana’s look had people raving when she showed up in thigh-high boots. But her choice of a plaid romper set her ensemble apart. The romper’s striking black, green, and orange plaid design was a daring combination that not everyone can pull off with such elegance.
Charming frills on the neckline and hem add a lovely and whimsical flair to the look. Though more contemporary and feminine, the gathered hem and loose, comfortable fit are reminiscent of Victorian bloomers. Despite the unconventional design, Zoe looked confident and comfortable in her outfit, effortlessly pulling off the look.
She accentuated her slim waist with a burgundy belt, complementing her burgundy Saint Laurent Mini Voltaire bag ($2,000 at FWRD).
Adding an opulent finish to her playful look, Zoe wore a long plaid coat by Saint Laurent. The midi length emphasized her romper’s playful and youthful vibe, while the glen plaid pattern added a touch of sophistication.

Saint Laurent has set the standard for effortless Parisian chic for decades, blending bold silhouettes with timeless craftsmanship. Whether it’s a power suit that redefines femininity or a sultry sheer gown that makes headlines, the brand remains an essential go-to for the fashion elite.
