Aditi Rao Hydari And Jaden Smith at Christian Louboutin’s SS27 Show
At Théâtre du Châtelet, fashion’s fairytale of empowerment came with a distinctly starry front row.
Paris Fashion Week got another dose of glamour as Aditi Rao Hydari and Jaden Smith stepped into the spotlight at Maison Christian Louboutin’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2027 show, Eternal Youth: A Fairytale of Empowerment. Held on Friday, October 2, at the iconic Théâtre du Châtelet, the presentation brought together fashion, music and entertainment personalities in a celebration of Christian Louboutin’s theatrical approach to glamour. TheGlitz takes a closer look at the star-powered Parisian Louboutin evening.
Step Into Fashion
There are fashion shows, and then there are fashion shows that feel like productions. Louboutin has long understood the latter. With Eternal Youth: A Fairytale of Empowerment, the maison once again leaned into the idea that fashion is not simply something to wear but a world to step into. And what better setting than the grand Théâtre du Châtelet, where Parisian architecture, performance and spectacle naturally become part of the story?
Aditi’s Glamour
Among the evening’s notable arrivals was Aditi Rao Hydari, who brought her own brand of refined, romantic glamour to the occasion. The actor has increasingly become a familiar face on international fashion calendars, effortlessly moving between Indian couture sensibilities and the polished sophistication demanded by the Paris fashion circuit. Her presence at the Louboutin showcase added a distinctly Indian star quality to an already eclectic front row.
Jaden Smith’s Style
Jaden Smith, meanwhile, brought a completely different energy. Known for his fluid approach to fashion and his willingness to blur the boundaries between traditional menswear, streetwear and high fashion, Smith has become one of the more intriguing style personalities of his generation. His association with Louboutin is particularly interesting, given the maison’s own increasingly expansive fashion universe. His appearance in Paris underlined the brand’s ability to speak to a younger, more experimental fashion audience.
The Glam List
The guest list itself read like a modern fashion mood board. Dita Von Teese brought her signature vintage glamour, while K-pop star Jihyo added contemporary pop-culture energy. Cynthia Erivo and Elizabeth Debicki represented Hollywood elegance, while House of the Dragon star Milly Alcock and Italian actor Alice Pagani added further international star power.
Always Louboutin
What tied the diverse group together was the Louboutin aesthetic: unapologetically dramatic, sensual, playful and steeped in fantasy. The maison has never been particularly interested in quiet luxury, and Eternal Youth appears to continue that conversation by placing imagination and self-expression firmly at the centre.
TheGlitz Take
There is also something deliciously appropriate about presenting a collection titled Eternal Youth inside a historic Parisian theatre. Youth, after all, is less about age than attitude — curiosity, rebellion, fantasy and the freedom to reinvent oneself. Those qualities have always had a natural home in fashion, particularly in the world of Louboutin, where a red sole can transform an entire silhouette into a statement.
For Aditi, Jaden and the constellation of international names gathered in Paris, the evening was as much about being seen as it was about seeing. The front row became its own runway, with personalities bringing their individual interpretations of glamour to the Louboutin universe.
And if the message was empowerment through fantasy, Paris clearly got the memo.
TheGlitz Verdict
Louboutin didn’t just bring the fairytale to Paris — it brought Hollywood drama, Parisian theatre and a whole lot of red-soled attitude to the Théâtre du Châtelet. With Jaden Smith bringing his unmistakable cool and the fashion crowd turning up in full force, the SS27 show had all the ingredients of a fashion spectacle. And then came Aditi Rao Hydari, adding her own dose of Indian glamour to the Parisian stage, proving once again that Indian fashion presence on the global circuit can be both sophisticated and statement-making.
The setting was pure Louboutin: theatrical, decadent and deliciously dramatic, while the shoes — naturally — remained the real stars. Red soles, cinematic personalities and couture-level attitude: this was Louboutin doing what Louboutin does best — turning fashion into theatre and making sure Paris watched.
