On October 1, Park Jimin, a member of BTS, attended Dior’s Women’s Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show on October 1, 2025, during Paris Fashion Week, as a global ambassador for the brand.
On this day, Jimin shone with a bold look. He wore a black jacket open over his bare chest, leather pants, layered gold jewelry, and blonde hair.
Jimin sat in the front row alongside figures such as Anna Wintour, and achieved more than 4.8 million mentions on X in less than 12 hours, with coverage from WWD and The Guardian highlighting his influence.
The event showcased Jonathan Anderson’s first collection as women’s artistic director, presenting pastel color palettes, bold textures, and asymmetric designs revolving around empathy that redefines elegance. But Jimin’s presence was overwhelming, as WWD described, “This may have been the first women’s show by Dior’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson, but Park Jimin, member of BTS, was the one who excited the audience.”
