On October 5, Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, attended CELINE’s Summer 2026 Collection fashion show, held at the Saint-Cloud National Park on the outskirts of Paris, France. The exclusive event was closed to the public, with scenes from the venue revealed only through fashion media coverage.
Fashion magazine WWDreported on Taehyung being the highlight of the CELINE show and his interactions with other celebrities. They described his outfit in detail: “He wore a brown blazer paired with a leopard-print tie, expressing the warm tones of autumn. Compared to the previous show, his look was more formal and refined.”
Taehyung took his seat in the front row alongside actress Uma Thurman, CELINE CEO Séverine Merle, and Dior CEO Delphine Arnault, reaffirming his status as CELINE’s “prince.” Before the show began, he was seen sharing a friendly conversation with Séverine Merle about the brand’s welcome party.
Taehyung was later introduced to Hollywood actress Uma Thurman, and the two took a photo together. Before the photo, Taehyung displayed his considerate nature by helping Uma Thurman adjust her hair as she prepared for the shot. The actress smiled warmly and expressed her gratitude.
Speaking to WWD about their photo, Uma Thurman said, “That’s a lifetime photo.” She added, “I’m a fan, but I’ve never seen them in concert,” expressing her regret with a laugh.
Taehyung’s thoughtful gestures and easy rapport with those around him once again reflected his genuine warmth and charm. Whether with global executives or Hollywood stars, he continues to leave a lasting impression through his kindness and graceful presence.
