When BTS’s Kim Taehyung, aka V, steps into the fashion limelight, it never simply occurs due to the wardrobe—it’s due to what he embodies. At the Celine Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show for Paris Fashion Week 2025, V again demonstrated how subtle elegance can make the greatest impression. Wearing a sleek brown topcoat over a starched white shirt and a splash of full-blooded leopard-print tie, he embodied the very essence of Hedi Slimane’s design philosophy towards contemporary sophistication—Refined, effortless, and irresistible.
But it wasn’t only V’s fashion sense that had got him in the spotlight. On another instance, in a scene that went viral, he was seen sweetly running his hands through actress Uma Thurman’s hair after a rush of air had messed it up before the start of the show. The quick, considerate action, which lasted just seconds, was sufficient to set social media aglow, with everybody praising his kindness and thoughtfulness.
Ever since his introduction as CELINE’s international ambassador in 2023, Taehyung has been the ultimate definition of sophisticated cool for the brand. His continued partnership with creative director Hedi Slimane is not fashion, but a lingua franca of aesthetics. Taehyung interprets Slimane’s rock-and-roll minimalism in poetic nuances, and Slimane’s fashion renders Taehyung’s special charm ever more alluring.

From their cozy Cannes dinner date to Seoul pop-up party, V has seamlessly blended the gravitas of his K-pop stardom with that of high fashion. His more recent Paris appearance only cemented his position as not just a celebrity visitor, but cultural muse in the spotlight of CELINE.

Paris Fashion Week 2025 saw no grand performances or grand theatrics—just a single look, one act of charity, and once more, Kim Taehyung reminded us all why he is still one of fashion’s most understated strong influences.
