At Dior’s Spring–Summer 2026 womenswear show on October 1, 2025, two familiar faces stole just as much attention as the runway itself — BTS’s Jimin and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. Both idols have built strong ties with Dior over the years, and their presence at Jonathan Anderson’s womenswear debut felt like a full-circle moment in their journeys with the brand.
The Dior SS26 front row reflected the show’s global pull. Jisoo and Jimin — both Dior ambassadors — sat among stars like Jenna Ortega, Anya Taylor-Joy, Willow Smith, Michelle Monaghan, Rosalía, and Jennifer Lawrence. Their presence highlights how much K-pop talent now figures into luxury conversations.
Jimin made a memorable entrance in a bold, pared-back look: a black blazer worn without a shirt, plunging at the chest, paired with fitted black leather-style pants and layered accessories — rings, earrings, and a multicolored necklace.
His blond hair and the daring styling quickly went viral, with many fans calling his appearance “glowing.” Jisoo, often called the queen of elegance, chose a chic, preppy outfit. The 30-year-old songstress carried a rococo-inspired bag from Anderson’s new line that many outlets described as “very cute” and already iconic among the season’s accessories.
Jimin first joined the Dior family in January 2023 when he was named a global ambassador. His appointment as a global ambassador was big news at the time. That same month, he attended the Dior Homme show at Paris Fashion Week alongside j-hope and rubbed shoulders with names like Robert Pattinson and David Beckham.
While the “Like Crazy” singer fronted several Dior campaigns, he was unable to collaborate with the brand in any capacity during his military service (December 2023 to June 2025). He returned to the PFW after nearly three years, and a huge crowd filled the venue to welcome him.
This was his first event since finishing military service on June 11, after laying low for a while. He has been getting ready for a comeback with the BTS members and recently made headlines when Song Da Eun shared a video from the time when they were dating. He is slowly stepping back into the spotlight and will be showing up at plenty more events soon.
Jisoo’s journey with Dior runs even deeper. As a long-time ambassador for both Dior Fashion and Dior Beauty, she has become one of the house’s most important global faces. She has fronted campaigns, attended countless shows, and even earned the nickname “Human Dior” from fans for the way she embodies the brand’s spirit.
The Dior Spring–Summer 2026 womenswear show on October 1, 2025, was a clear reset for the house as Jonathan Anderson presented his first full womenswear collection.
The show landed at Paris Fashion Week as one of the most talked-about debuts of the season. The audience rewarded the new direction with a standing ovation at the end. Anderson picked up threads from his earlier menswear work and pushed them into a distinctly Dior feminine vocabulary.
On the runway, Anderson played with short hemlines and new outerwear shapes — miniskirts returned in force, and several pieces used a fresh trapeze cut for coats and jackets
Accessories took center stage too: rose-shaped heels appeared alongside a range of new bags, from tiny clutches to what the press quickly dubbed “bitchy shoulder bags.”
The collection closed on a white scalloped dress that nodded directly to Dior’s 1949 Junon dress, a clear salute to house history while still feeling updated.
Anderson’s womenswear debut came after his menswear outing earlier in the year, and Dior provided a livestream of the show — it went live at 8:30 a.m. ET on October 1 on Dior’s site — so viewers worldwide could watch the new collection.
