59 of the Best Street Style Outfits at Paris Fashion Week

As the great Joni Mitchell said, "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you got till it's gone." I'm sure she wasn't talking about fashion week street style, but that's exactly how I feel about it. For some time now, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, I had reached a sort of fatigue with the incessant peacocking. Season after season, there was an imbalance with what mattered—a focus on those outside the shows and what they were wearing rather than the collections on the runway. True, it all adds to the greater fashion picture, but there was so much street style that I wondered if we'd forgotten what we were really doing there. 

Then, the pandemic hit. Immediately, fashion weeks across the globe had to stop the usual sort of shows. Most were cancelled, opting to go digital, and some ran limited seating on exclusive runways. A lack of people, however, meant one major component was missing: street style. And I'll be the first to admit that I wanted it back. The build-up to a major designer showcasing their latest collection was no longer there, and I have to admit I just missed the outfits and the fun. I'm happy to say, though, that so far, Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week has delivered the goods when it comes to a stellar set of looks. There's fashion power couple Veronika Heilbrunner and Justin O'Shea; Emmanuelle Alt, the outgoing editor of Vogue Paris; and Anna Wintour, plus many more. Keep scrolling to see the best street style looks.
