CELINE

Lady Gaga exited her limo to a flurry of paparazzi snaps. Catherine Deneuve pouted on the front row inside.

This was, by every indication, the biggest show of the calendar.

A giant crystal opened to reveal the first look of 96 looks, and some editors raised their eyebrows — others simply smiled — as a polka dot 80s balloon micro dress filed by.

This was beginning to look like a case of fashion deja vu.

Slimane, in his debut show for Maison Celine, has done, well, almost exactly what he did at Saint Laurent in his successful creative tenure there from 2012-2016.

The sparkling 80s disco micro dresses. The waiflike models who stomped like angry teenagers. The grungy hair. The leopard or striped fur coats. The sparkle.

Much was very similar. But whatever the inspiration was, there was plenty of style to be had.
