Schiaparelli’s Surrealist Shoes Rule the Front Row: Demi Moore, Teyana Taylor & More at Paris Fashion Week

Pumps ruled this year’s front row at the Schiaparelli Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 presentation, and they were impossible to miss.

With Schiaparelli, nothing ever feels basic, so even a classic pump came with a twist. Whether it was the shape, the finish, or the styling, the shoes stood out just as much as the outfits.

From Demi Moore to Teyana Taylor, this year’s ensembles were already dramatic in true Schiaparelli fashion, but the shoe choices didn’t fade into the background. They held their own, adding structure and polish that complemented the bold looks instead of competing with them.

Demi Moore Anchors a Leopard Couture Look With Schiaparelli Black Velvet Keyhole Pumps

Demi Moore went bold with her outfit while keeping her footwear surprisingly pared back. At a Schiaparelli show, where shoes are often surreal or playful, she chose one of the house’s more understated options.

Her black velvet pumps looked simple at first glance, but the silver-tone Keyhole detail at the vamp added that unmistakable Schiaparelli touch of whimsy.

The pumps, priced at $2,200, featured softly curved edges and elongated toes, giving them a sultry yet refined shape. The Keyhole motif, one of the house’s signatures since 1953, sat right at the vamp. It was subtle but impossible to miss. Finished with thick four-inch heels, the shoes had an architectural feel that balanced the overall look.

Demi Moore Completes the Look With Leopard-Embroidered Couture and Statement Accessories

Her outfit went all in on drama. She paired a black turtleneck with a black velvet vest embroidered in silver leopard pattern, finished with shimmering sequins. The matching torero-style pants hit just above her ankle, with the same leopard pattern running down the sides. It gave me strong Cruella de Vil energy—minus the polka dots, replaced by metallic leopard.

To make the look practical for cooler weather, she layered a coordinating embroidered coat in matte velvet and washed satin, featuring saddle-inspired shoulder pads and matador-style pompoms.

Demi even added a small, rounded leopard headpiece, topped with a smaller, circular black velvet piece, which gave the look a clear couture finish. She completed her outfit with a black croc-embossed Schiaparelli bag, decorated with the house’s signature embellished eyes, nose, and lips.

Teyana Taylor Elevates Sheer Couture With Sculptural Platform Pumps at Schiaparelli

Teyana Taylor was easily one of the most talked-about guests at the Schiaparelli Paris Fashion Week show, and I understood why the moment I saw her.

The look was unapologetically dramatic, but what stood out to me was how the shoes brought everything together. Her custom-made pumps weren’t loud or heavily detailed, yet they added height and polish and helped balance the rest of the look.

The satin pumps had a smooth, glossy finish that added to their sophistication. Their angular pointed toes and V-shaped vamps gave them a sharp, modern look, while their slim ankle straps wrapped neatly around her feet, keeping the shoes secure. The pumps sat on thick platforms with tall, slightly flared heels that added height and made them stand out from a basic pair.

Sheer Chantilly Lace, Tuxedo Tailoring, and Couture Finishing Touches

That simplicity made sense because the outfit itself was already bold. Teyana wore a sheer Chantilly lace top and a matching knee-length skirt, both very revealing. The see-through fabric left little to the imagination, with nude layers clearly visible underneath, making the look feel even more daring and provocative.

To offset the exposure, Taylor draped a $10,400 dramatic Schiaparelli tuxedo coat over her shoulders. The long black double-crepe wool coat featured a tone-on-tone satin shawl collar, wide flowing sleeves, and the house’s signature gold buttons.

Teyana didn’t stop there. She wore a large antique silver chandelier brooch centered on her chest like a bold necklace, finished with rhinestones. Clear teardrop earrings and fishnet gloves added more texture and drama to her look. But the crown really completed it. The antique Schiaparelli headpiece, adorned with pearls and rhinestones, elevated the outfit, making it unmistakably couture.

Jodie Turner-Smith Makes a Statement in Schiaparelli Measuring Tape Heels

Jodie Turner-Smith never blends into a crowd, and her look at the Schiaparelli Paris Fashion Week show was no exception. At first glance, her sandals looked simple, but the details made them unmistakably Schiaparelli.

She finished the look with Schiaparelli’s signature “Measuring Tape” sandals, crafted from black lambskin leather and detailed with the house’s iconic brass tape-measure embroidery.

Opting for black over gold kept the effect sharp and modern, allowing the sculptural hardware to stand out without overwhelming the look. Hammered brass buckles and slim stiletto heels added a refined finish that felt unmistakably Schiaparelli.

Textured Black Couture With Gold Cutouts and Schiaparelli Signature Details

Jodie paired them with a black dress from the Spring 2026 collection. It was made of black viscose knit with a tree-bark texture that kept it from looking flat. Irregular cutouts trimmed with hammered gold metal revealed flashes of her skin, giving the look a sensual edge.

The dress was held in place by a halter bodice, finished with a straight gold bar and a gold chain strap that wrapped around her neck, with a small jewel dangling at the open back. A matching gold chain belt with a padlock detail sat at her waist, tying the whole look back to Schiaparelli’s signature codes.

To heighten the drama, Jodie draped a black fur-embroidered jacket over her arms, wearing it more like a shawl than outerwear.

With her curls styled high, she showed off her bold Schiaparelli jewelry, including the $4,460 hammered brass “Donut” earrings, and carried the sculptural “Hand-in-Hand” clutch in black velvet.

Chiara Ferragni Sharpens Front-Row Style With Patent Keyhole Pumps

Chiara Ferragni kept the look clean and structured. She wore the same Schiaparelli pumps as Demi Moore, but hers came in black patent leather. Even with the change in material, they retained the same whimsical yet refined feel. The curvy topline, pointed toes, high heels, and gold-tone keyhole detail gave the shoes personality without looking playful or loud.

She wore sheer stockings with the shoes, which, in my opinion, made the combination look more polished. They complemented her brown leather pencil skirt, which fit her perfectly and gave her a polished, business-ready appearance. The skirt skimmed her frame, keeping everything sleek and perfectly tailored.

Leather Biker Tailoring With Gold Hardware Echoing the Keyhole Pumps

Chiara wore a matching brown leather biker jacket. It featured wide lapels, structured shoulders with epaulettes, and a belted front, giving it a tough-chic look.

The gold-tone zippers and hardware added just enough contrast against the brown leather, and I liked how those details subtly echoed the gold keyhole on her heels.

She finished the look with side-parted loose waves, tucking one side behind her ear to show off her $1,800 Schiaparelli Dove earrings made of gold-plated brass.

Carla Bruni Softens Couture Drama in Schiaparelli Velvet Bijoux Mules

Carla Bruni’s shoes were some of the most eye-catching in the front row. From the front, her velvet mules looked simple, with peep toes and no flashy details. The back, however, told a completely different story. They featured an open back and sculptural S-shaped heels finished with pearls and rhinestones, giving them that unmistakable Schiaparelli twist.

Made from rich black velvet, these mules had that soft, luxurious feel. I’ve seen a brown velvet version on Lily Collins at the Emily in Paris Season 4 premiere in Italy, but the black felt sharper and more evening-ready, working seamlessly with the rest of Carla’s look.

Asymmetrical Black Couture Softened by Lace, Velvet, and Whimsical Schiaparelli Details

Carla paired the mules with a black mini dress cut with an asymmetrical, diagonal hem that gave the silhouette a sharp, modern edge. The bodice was softly draped and finished with gold-tone hardware, adding contrast to the dress’s flirty silhouette.

The hemline rose higher on one side, while the sheer floral lace stockings softened the look with added texture and a hint of sultriness. Over everything, she wore a long black coat, which brought in coverage and gave the look a more sophisticated finish.

To balance the outfit’s seriousness, Bruni added a few whimsical touches. She carried Schiaparelli’s “Hand-in-Hand” clutch and wore a sculptural hand choker that wrapped around her neck, as if it were gently gripping her. I loved how those touches added a bit of whimsy to an otherwise sleek look.
