These days, fans are turning much of their attention to Paris, fяαи¢є, where V is attending CELINE’s Spring 2026 show during Paris Fashion Week as the brand’s global ambαѕѕador.
He’s been generating buzz ever since departing from Seoul for his first international schedule post-military discharge — from his arrival in Paris to attending an exclusive evening party, and even stopping by CELINE headquarters for fittings. On the day of the official event, V once again became the center of attention among both fans and global media.
In the photos released, V showcased a stunning yet refined look, effortlessly pulling off a unique grey-patterned knit sweater, dark grey trousers, and a variety of accessories. His visuals were so overwhelming, they seemed to adapt seamlessly to any style.
One of the event's most talked-about moments was when V interacted with the Global Editorial Director of Vogue, Anna Wintour. The encounter between one of fashion’s most powerful figures and a K-pop superstar with mαѕѕive global influence quickly dominated the spotlight — especially when the fashion queen herself extended a personal invitation.
In one captured moment, Anna Wintour was seen greeting V and saying: “Happy to meet you. Welcome to Paris. We are hoping you are coming to our event in Hollywood in October”. After her message was relayed by a translator, V quickly responded: “Wow”, showing his readiness and interest in accepting her invitation.
Although Anna Wintour didn’t mention a specific event by name, fans were quick to speculate that she may have been referring to Vogue World 2025, set to take place in Los Angeles this October. Vogue World is a global fashion event that blends art, performance, music, and cinema, first launched in New York in 2022, often dubbed as the “street-style version of Met Gala.”
The event is a direct initiative by Anna Wintour, who serves as Global Editorial Director of Vogue and Condé Nast. Vogue World is part of her broader strategy to modernize and globalize the Vogue brand — a vision she personally conceptualizes, oversees, and executes with her top team.
On the other hand, ARMYs are also excitedly theorizing that the invitation could go even further — possibly hinting at V’s appearance at the Met Gala 2026, which is set to take place in May next year. For those unfamiliar, Anna Wintour is also the powerhouse behind the Met Gala, having overseen and curated the iconic fashion gala since 1995.
If the Met Gala is the “exclusive pinnacle of fashion,” then Vogue World is its modern, creative, and more public-facing counterpart — and Anna Wintour is the force behind both. Her interaction with V has now sparked anticipation that he might appear at both prestigious events, sending fans into a frenzy:
- Not anyone can get an invitation to The Anna Wintour, proud of our #V
- Anne Wintour is the one that everybody wants to be noticed by in the Fashion World. No matter how famous,rich you are, she’ll never address you if she doesn’t think you’re worthy. So it’s really flattering for Kim Taehyung, to be invited personally by her to her gala
