Let's Chat

On July 4th, Taehyung made his much-anticipated return to the public eye—and to the fashion

world—when he stepped out of his car at Incheon International Airport, surrounded by media

and fans eager to welcome him back. His presence alone was enough to spark a media frenzy,

and his humble attitude and unmatchable visuals reminded everyone why he’s not just admired

but deeply respected.

Heading to Paris for the CELINE Printemps 2026 show, Taehyung immediately proved why

he’s the perfect brand ambassador, dressed head-to-toe in CELINE. His travel look was

thoughtfully curated: a fitted off-white henley-style long-sleeve shirt with a partially unbuttoned

neckline that subtly highlighted his toned physique. Paired with medium-wash flared jeans, two

layered necklaces—one beaded and one chunkier chain—added an edgy, personal flair. He

carried a black CELINE duffel bag featuring the monogram and draped a bright red piece of

clothing (possibly a sweater or jacket) over it, adding a splash of color. Black leather

boots peeked out from under his jeans, completing the look. It was the perfect opening statement

for what would become an unforgettable fashion journey.

Arrival in Paris: Luxury and Excitement

Taehyung’s first public sighting in Paris took place at the Mandarin Oriental Lutetia, a hotel

known for its exclusive “Palace” status—the only one of its kind on the Left Bank of the Seine.

It served as a symbolic and luxurious residence for someone of Taehyung’s global stature. Very

quickly, the hotel became a hub for hundreds of fans gathered to catch a glimpse of him.

Shortly after arriving, Taehyung posted on Instagram, giving fans a peek at the

stunning CELINE Printemps 2026 invitation, uniquely wrapped by Emiko Oguri, as well as

the lavish welcome gifts from CELINE—a clear indication that his relationship with the brand

is not only strong, but thriving.

Private Celebration at L’Arc Paris

CELINE welcomed him back in style that same night with a private celebration held at L’Arc

Paris, one of the most exclusive nightclubs in the city. The event was reportedly organized

by Peter Utz, CELINE’s Global VIP and Events Director.

Taehyung’s outfit that evening was his second CELINE look of the weekend—a mix of rugged

charm and understated elegance: dark blue jeans, a classic white tank top, and a sleek black

leather jacket. In a personal touch, he styled the scarf that had originally wrapped his

CELINE invitation into the outfit, showcasing his ability to blend meaning with fashion. This

ensemble displayed a post-military Taehyung full of confidence, maturity, and growth.Though fans couldn’t be there in person, both Peter and Taehyung shared candid photos and

videos from the party on their Instagram accounts. These glimpses let fans live the moment

vicariously—capturing joy, ease, and laughter in every frame. Taehyung was also seen sharing

warm interactions with members of the CELINE family, including his close friend and fellow

ambassador Park Bo-Gum.

A Casual Day in Paris

The next morning, the fan crowd outside the hotel multiplied. When Taehyung stepped out in

his third CELINE outfit, excitement filled the air. Fans later learned he was heading for

a leisurely lunch and shopping trip.

His outfit that day: a navy and red striped polo shirt, relaxed blue jeans, and sunglasses,

captured the charm of Paris in summer. He was seen arriving at and leaving a cozy Parisian

bistro with Peter Utz, where they shared a quiet meal. Later, they headed to the CELINE

flagship store, where—despite fans being outside—many were able to catch glimpses of

Taehyung browsing displays and clearly enjoying himself. His continued embrace of CELINE in

every detail of his wardrobe showed a deep loyalty and love for the brand.

Pre-Show Glamour: Palais de Tokyo

Later that evening, Taehyung became the center of attention yet again as he prepared for

the exclusive CELINE pre-show dinner at the Palais de Tokyo. His outfit? Another CELINE

masterpiece: a fitted navy knit sweater, high-waisted gray trousers, and a silk scarf tied

around his waist as a belt—a bold, innovative styling choice.

He was welcomed to the venue by cheering fans, and while the dinner itself remained private,

lucky attendees shared glimpses of Taehyung being his charismatic, warm, and social self.

Despite his fame, he continues to radiate a comforting presence, putting others at ease with his

sincerity.

As the evening ended, fans received one more visual treat—Taehyung exiting the event with his

sweater casually draped off one shoulder, revealing a black tank top underneath. It was

spontaneous and playful, yet still entirely on-brand: confident, stylish, and unapologetically him.

Show Day: CELINE Printemps 2026

Show day had arrived—and with it, the most anticipated moment of the weekend.

Outside CELINE’s Paris headquarters at 16 Rue Vivienne, fans gathered early despite cloudsand a forecast of rain. They didn’t care—they wanted to see Taehyung, and the buzz around

him was electric.

Everyone remembered his show-stopping appearance at CELINE’s 2022 show, and now the

world waited to see how he would reflect the vision of the brand’s new creative

director, Michael Rider.

And when he emerged, the world stopped.

Taehyung’s CELINE show look was breathtaking: a custom gray wool cropped jacket,

adorned with a striking red-and-burgundy geometric embroidery across the chest and

shoulders. The boxy, structured silhouette added a modern flair, while vintage-style gold

buttons brought a classic, regal touch. The deep neckline, layered with gold necklaces,

and tailored charcoal trousers completed the ensemble. The look was elegant, commanding,

and princely—a perfect fit for a man of his presence.

Inside the Show: Fashion Royalty Meets a King

The CELINE Printemps 2026 show itself was a defining moment for the brand. It

marked Michael Rider’s debut and celebrated a return to timeless elegance, meticulous

craftsmanship, and Parisian flair, with a dash of preppy sophistication. And no one

embodied that more fully than Taehyung.

Upon his arrival, he was warmly welcomed not only by Peter Utz but also by Mr. Sidney

Toledano, Senior Advisor to LVMH and one of the most respected figures in luxury fashion.

However, it was his interaction with the legendary Anna Wintour that left the world stunned.

Known as the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue since 1988 and the Chief Content Officer of Condé

Nast, she is fashion royalty.

She didn’t just greet Taehyung—she personally invited him to the upcoming Vogue World:

Hollywood event in October. This level of personal outreach is rare, if not unheard of, and

solidified Taehyung’s growing status in global fashion.

Throughout the show, Taehyung was seen fully immersed, watching the runway intently. But

even as models walked, many eyes remained on him—confirming yet again that he was the true

star of the show.

Evening Elegance and Fan Love

After the show, Taehyung returned to the hotel, not before acknowledging the fans who had

waited in the rain just to see him. Later, he stepped out in another CELINE look: a white tank

top under a tailored navy blazer with gold buttons, a silky patterned scarf tied loosely aroundhis neck, and pleated beige trousers. Topped off with round glasses, this look had fans dubbing

it “Professor Taehyung.”

When he returned to the hotel that night and removed his blazer and scarf, revealing just the tank

top, fans outside were thrilled—and chaos erupted in the best way.

Monday & Tuesday: Casual Yet Captivating

On Monday, what fans assumed was his final day in Paris, Taehyung surprised them again with

a look that was understated yet cool: a charcoal crew-neck t-shirt that accentuated his post-

military physique, black sunglasses, and natural-toned sweatpants. But even this casual

appearance had everyone buzzing—especially when fans noticed green undertones in his hair,

sparking speculation about upcoming projects.

To everyone’s delight, Taehyung was still in Paris on Tuesday! He was seen enjoying lunch

and shopping with his team, sending social media into overdrive once more.

His outfit: a cream ribbed short-sleeve knit shirt with red trim and a playful “LIMBO”

bunny graphic, paired with dark-wash denim, a brown leather belt, and CELINE

sunglasses. Later, he was spotted carrying the Bartholomew Bear tote bag by Jellycat—a soft,

whimsical contrast to his sophisticated style.

And then fans noticed something else: a slit in his eyebrow, adding to the buzz and further proof

that Taehyung is always ten steps ahead when it comes to style.

The Farewell: Parisian Simplicity

When he stepped out for the final time, fans were not ready to let him go. His final outfit was the

definition of casual Parisian elegance: a cream short-sleeve button-up shirt with a subtle

CELINE micro-pattern, worn open over a plain white tank top and classic blue jeans. It was

breezy, effortless, and a beautiful close to a week filled with unforgettable fashion.

Conclusion: A New Era Begins

As this extraordinary chapter concludes, there’s no doubt: Taehyung didn’t just return—he

redefined what it means to be a global fashion icon. From airport chic to regal couture, from

playful accessories to princely silhouettes, every look was intentional, every move impactful.His post-military presence—more mature, more confident—draws admiration not only from fans

but from fashion leaders worldwide. With charm, elegance, and a magnetic aura, Taehyung

continues to prove why he belongs at the top of every “Most Influential” list.

Fans now eagerly await what’s next—because if this Paris trip showed us anything, it’s

that Taehyung isn’t just back—he’s leading the way into something even greater.
