Michael Rider’s long-anticipated debut for CELINE unfolded in true cinematic fashion, not just on the runway, but in the front row. As the fashion world held its breath, the Printemps 2026 show welcomed a constellation of stars, from global ambassadors to Hollywood icons. Their presence amplified the energy of the evening, mirroring the bold yet refined spirit of Rider’s first collection for the Maison.
A Star-Packed Front Row
The audience was as captivating as the collection itself. Among the many notable guests in attendance, a few names stood out for their presence and poise. Fresh from his military discharge, Global Ambassador V (Kim Tae Hyung) made a striking return to the public eye, embodying CELINE’s moody cool with ease. Beside him, fellow ambassadors Suzy Bae and Park Bo Gum offered their signature elegance, each a reflection of the Maison’s quiet luxury.
Music legend Alanis Morissette brought a raw authenticity, while screen icons Naomi Watts and Kristen Wiig added their subtle glamour to the scene. Dan Levy, known for his eclectic creativity, sat alongside CELINE Global Ambassador Liu Shishi, whose poised presence deepened the evening’s sense of international sophistication. French rising star Paul Kircher, Chinese actress Gengxi Li, and comedian Jerrod Carmichael also added their unique artistic energy to the already dynamic guest list.
Inside CELINE Printemps
The collection marked a confident new era for CELINE. Staying rooted in the house’s minimalist DNA, Michael Rider introduced an elevated edge: lean tailoring, moody layering, and just the right amount of rock-infused romance. It was a study in restraint and rebellion, one that felt both timeless and distinctly now.
The debut felt even more powerful with such a striking front row. From global icons to CELINE ambassadors, each guest reflected the quiet strength and cool elegance that Michael Rider brought to the runway. If this show is any sign, CELINE’s next chapter will be one to watch… and feel.
