BTS member Kim Taehyung, known as V, just made a major statement at the Celine Men’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Paris. The global ambassador for the luxury fashion house arrived in a striking red ensemble that quickly took over social media, with fans praising his bold fashion choice and undeniable star quality.
The event took place on June 28, 2026, during Paris Fashion Week. V’s appearance came right after he performed with BTS in Madrid, Spain, for their “ARIRANG” world tour. The singer reportedly traveled on a VIP private plane provided by Celine to make it to the event on time. His arrival was a major moment, with many fans calling him the true highlight of the show.

For the fashion show, Kim Taehyung wore a vibrant red shirt left unbuttoned to reveal layered gold necklaces and a statement pendant. He paired the shirt with a sharp maroon blazer, classic black tailored trousers, and glossy maroon leather shoes. Oversized sunglasses and a sleek wet-look hairstyle completed the look.
Fans and media outlets described his style as confident and effortlessly cool, with some comparing his presence to that of a rockstar.
