Paris Fashion Week has come and gone, marking the end of a long fashion month, and was full of stunning moments — and some surprises including crashers and pranksters. Here are five highlights fresh from France.
Cardi B’s outfits

Though she started off (relatively) incognito in Richard Quinn’s masked floral number at the Eiffel Tower, Cardi turned it up in a Thom Browne peplum, padded number at the designer’s show. She later played with mixed prints, layering an Aliette bodysuit underneath an Edda overcoat. Cardi sizzled in draped purple mini dress from Nicolas Jebram (styled with matching boots), but her winning look was a black and white tweed pantsuit (from Karl Lagerfeld’s final collection for Chanel) that she wore front row at the storied French house’s runway show on Tuesday. Boss.
Exposed bras are next spring’s sleeper hit
Getty ImagesRemember when naked dresses seemed risqué? For the trend-setter who dares to bare, her cup runneth over with options for spring: whether it’s shimmery (at Givenchy), floral-appliqued crochet (at Dior) or sheer (at Loewe), bras have never been more out there.
OG supermodels reclaimed the runways

And German supermodel Nadja Auermann – who once held the Guinness Book of Records claim to being the model with the longest legs – made an epic return at Balenciaga.
Celebrity sightings were (appropriately) fashionable late

Maisie Williams held hands with her boyfriend at Givenchy, while Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel closed down the week front row at Louis Vuitton’s show at the Louvre.
