Paris huffs out over hoofers

-

PARIS Jackson stormed out of a Paris fashion show “in a rage” as an actual storm raged overhead.

At the Dior cruise collection show at a chateau, driving rain dramatical­ly doused the catwalk — and dampened some attendees’ spirits. As the first model hit the runway, Jackson walked out on the show, which ambitiousl­y featured an allwomen rodeo involving daredevil stunts.

WWD reported, “With guests held up in rush hour traffic, the show finally began just as sheets of rain started driving down.” Another report said, “Glowering clouds broke into a thundersto­rm as the show opened, sending models on to a catwalk slick with driving rain.”

But the New York Times further observed in its fashion review, “By the end, the only cloud that remained over the event was the jarring exit of Paris Jackson, who had pranced in puddles barefoot for the photograph­ers before the show, but stalked out in a rage as the first model made her way down the runway.”

WWD added that Jackson visibly “huffed out barefoot, having earlier asked two assistants to help her out of her high-heeled sandals. Whether the issue was animal welfare, or simply an extreme aversion to rain, was not clear.” And Harper’s Bazaar reported: “Not everyone was a fan of the horses, though, as Paris Jackson was spotted leaving the show only minutes in, presumably out of concern for animal welfare.”

Her rep did not comment. A source told us she left because she didn’t approve of the animals appearing in the show.

The fashion It girl wrote on Instagram of her departure, simply, “Left early and did this,” with a pic of herself staring skyward solo.

Either way, the looks on the runway received high praise, and were called “beautiful.”

But a fashion insider observed to Page Six of all the wet threads and guests, “They spent a bajillion dollars on this . . . They couldn’t get a tent?” Also in the front row with fashion world favorite Jackson were Alexa Chung and “Stranger Things” star Charlie Heaton.
