The French Connection: A-Listers Who Love the Front Row at Paris Fashion Week

The most-talked-about aspect of a runway show is often not the collection but the crowd. Over the last few years, New York Fashion Week has seen an explosion of A-listers, cross-legged and contemplative, alongside magazine editors and fashion writers. Paris Fashion Week, which for many years was the smallest and most rarified of fashion events, has also seen a rise in attendance by American fashion devotees rubbing elbows with mainstays like Catherine Deneuve, Emmanuelle Béart, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. With Fashion Week kicking off in the City of Light, we rounded up all the actors and musicians who, season after season, rock the front rows of Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, and Chanel.
