Although nearly a week has pαѕѕed since V attended Celine’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection showcase at Paris Fashion Week on July 6, news related to him and the event continues to dominate headlines. In fact, both the media and fans are still analyzing how V reaffirmed his global superstar status that day.
Just looking at how Vogue’s editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, set aside nearly a decade of tension with Celine to happily greet and personally invite the brand’s global ambαѕѕador to the upcoming private CEW x Vogue event this October, it's clear how powerful his influence is in the fashion industry.
Notably, this marked V’s first official public appearance since completing his military service and an 18-month hiatus from activities. Despite his time away, he managed to send ѕнσ¢кwaves through the world, once again proving his lasting impact and timeless star power.
Unsurprisingly, the party most thrilled by this outcome was Celine, who scored a mαѕѕive win in terms of media buzz thanks to the BTS superstar. It's no wonder they went all out to style their most powerful global ambαѕѕador for his highly anticipated post-military debut.
Instagram fashion analyst Babrandth shared an in-depth breakdown of V’s outfit and accessories, revealing that the look responsible for the global sensation was crafted with extraordinary attention to detail—and included a unique privilege granted only to V.
The gray embroidered jacket he wore, for instance, was a custom piece not available for sale, personally designed by Celine’s creative director Michael Rider. The jacket is so exclusive that it cannot be priced and was created solely for V.
In addition, V styled his look with accessories from the new CELINE Printemps Spring 2026 collection, adding bold finishing touches. Choosing a full CELINE look—from jacket to boots to jewelry—was not only a cohesive fashion statement but also a deliberate tribute to Michael Rider’s creative vision.
ARMYs also noted another historic milestone: V became the first artist ever featured on Celine’s official YouTube channel, a move that further solidifies his position as the most powerful global ambαѕѕador in the French luxury brand’s history:
