One of the most dazzling moments of Paris Couture Week twinkled through Celia Kritharioti’s runway show this past Thursday. The scene was set with sophistication and flair, as none other than Carla Bruni captured the spotlight in quintessential Parisian style. With a commanding presence in the front row, Bruni had all eyes on her. And sharing her spotlight was Kimberly Guilfoyle, the dynamic duo effortlessly exuding a blend of international allure and vintage glamour.
Celia Kritharioti, the talented Greek designer, drew inspiration from the glitz and glamour of Old Hollywood for her latest collection. This show was particularly special as it marked a milestone for her fashion house, now celebrated as a Membre Invité within the prestigious Fédération de la Haute Couture et de la Mode. The air was thick with elegance, and the designs were nothing short of cinematic.
Carla Bruni, the ever-stylish former First Lady of France, was the embodiment of this theme. Draped in an all-black ensemble that featured a sleek dress with understated lace highlights, high heels, and a dramatic cape, she was the picture of classic Hollywood sophistication. The cape, with its sculpted shoulders and gold accents, added a touch of film noir drama to her look.
"Carla Bruni's presence at the show felt as if a classic film star had stepped right onto the runway," a guest noted, capturing the essence of the evening.
Contrasting Bruni's timeless look, Kimberly Guilfoyle brought her own signature flair to the event. The U.S. Ambassador to Greece dazzled in a baby-blue mini dress paired with high heels, a combination that exuded both elegance and modernity. The two leading ladies were joined by Nikos Tsakos, the husband of the Greek designer, forming a trio that further emphasized the global reach and influence of Kritharioti’s designs.
Together, their presence at the event underscored Celia Kritharioti’s prominent status in the haute couture universe, proving that her designs resonate with fashion enthusiasts and celebrities alike across the globe.
