Pop-punk princess Avril Lavigne traded in her usual edgy style for a touch of couture chic at the Tamara Ralph haute couture show during Paris Fashion Week. On June 24th, the singer turned heads in a unique dress that blended classic textures with a touch of rock and roll flair.
Lavigne donned look number 5 from the Paris-based brand’s Fall/Winter 2023-2024 collection. The dress featured a black and white tweed base adorned with sparkling crystals, adding a touch of glamour. The high neckline and long sleeves added a touch of sophistication, while the ostrich feather accents around the waist, skirt, and sleeves injected a playful and unexpected element.
The original runway look paired the dress with a black felt cage hat, a signature piece from the collection. However, Lavigne opted for a simpler approach, showcasing the dress’s intricate details. Sitting beside her, fellow musician Ellie Goulding embraced the dramatic headwear, sporting the cage hat with a velvet dress from the same collection.
Staying true to her signature style, Lavigne complemented the dress with a pair of sleek, black pumps. The glossy satin-like material offered a touch of shine and perfectly balanced the textured tweed. The pointed toes added a touch of edge, reminding us of Lavigne’s punk rock roots.
While this couture moment showcased a different side of Lavigne’s style, her love for all things edgy remains. At the recent iHeartRadio Music Awards, she rocked a pair of black lace-up leather boots, and at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards, she opted for classic Dr. Martens. Even during Paris Fashion Week, she sported a similar pair of boots at the Iris Van Herpen show.
Paris Fashion Week continues to be a magnet for A-listers, with renowned luxury brands like Chanel showcasing their latest collections. The event also serves as a platform for emerging trends, with the men’s fashion scene buzzing with news about athletic footwear and unique shoe designs.
