Christian Dior marked its 70th anniversary in the most fashionable way possible: With a Fall/Winter 2017 couture show and a Paris exhibition. Aside from the fabulous runway presentation, the impressive retrospective features 70 years of masterful craftsmanship from the fashion house. Entitled “Christian Dior, Couturier Du Reve,” the exhibition launched at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. To celebrate the occasion, A-list stars stepped out in their Dior ensembles to honor the luxury label during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the outfits.
