Florence Pugh, Son Ye-jin and Raye light up front row for Valentino’s haute couture runway

English actress Florence Pugh, Son Ye-jin and Raye were together on the front row for the Valentino Un Chateau haute couture runway show.

Pugh, with her pink hair styled in a buzz-cut, wore a sheer lilac deep-plunge halter-neck dress, paired with black platforms to the event at the 16th century Chateau de Chantilly 50kms from the centre of Paris.

South Korean actress Son was dressed in a black oversized suit jacket with wide lapels. Under it she wore a flower-embroidered white shirt with a black tie. She paired it with Valentino gold logo hoop earrings and a Valentino bag.

Singer-songwriter Raye stunned in a black floor-length dress with button detailing down the middle, feather-hemmed sleeves and an embellished collar.

American model Kaia Gerber opened the show and set the tone with a white unbuttoned shirt, dark denim jeans and white-gold ballet slides with extravagant bows – which all the models wore in varying shades to walk the heptagon-shaped runway.

Many of the looks were paired with giant chandelier-drop earrings.

Adut Akech wore a low-backed satin dress with a hood and wrapped front detailing down the runway.

The Valentino collection also played with its signature hot-pink colour, with one striking gown inspired by the structure of a blooming flower.

The fashion house also included lace and floral detailing on silk, with delicate touches that accentuated the feminine shapes.

English born singer-songwriter Anohni curated the soundtrack for the show, which ended with Piccioli walking out holding hands with his atelier workers dressed in white coats to share in the applause.
