VIP FROW: Pharrell Williams called on his famous friends as he unveiled his first show as creative director of menswear for Louis Vuitton in Paris on Tuesday.
A triumph: Beyonce and Jay Z arrived fashionably late for the anticipated show on the Pont Neuf to support their pal who is the first multi-season successor to the late Virgil Abloh
Jay Z was uncharacteristically dressed up in a sharp three piece suit.
Kim, 42, returned to the French capital nearly seven years after she was robbed of millions at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week in 2016.
Kim sat next to Jared Leto on the front row for the show and made an entrance in her skintight outfit.
The television personality flashed her toned abs and cleavage in a green square print crop top which she teamed with matching leggings.
She wore a bum bag around her slender waist and amped up the glamour with a plush furry black coat.
The celeb-packed crowd watched models striding across a runway to live music, parading pearl-embellished tracksuits.
Kim added a boost to her petite frame with perspex heels.
The TV star appeared in her element as she pouted for the camera before taking her seat to watch the show unfold.
An audience gathered along the Seine River craned to catch a glimpse of the show which continued LV’s approach of mixing street style with luxury.

She showed off her incredible legs in a logo print mini dress teamed with knee-high platform boots and a matching jacket.
One of the brand’s iconic bags was slung over her arm while she completed her look with a pop of purple in her long locks.
Naomi was spotted holding hands with fellow FROW guest Lenny Kravitz once inside.
Elsewhere Zendaya, 26, turned heads as she arrived.
The actress put on a daring display as she went braless in the oversized collared shirt which was unbuttoned down to her navel.

‘I’m the second Black man to ever experience this on the planet, the biggest fashion house in the world,’ Pharrell said in an interview before the show, referring to his job since February.
The singer and producer, 50, ended months of speculation by filling the shoes of his friend Virgil Abloh who held the job from March 2018 until his death in November 2021.
Abloh had been the industry’s highest profile Black designer, credited with forging a place for street style and loose skateboard looks in high-end fashion.
‘My brother Virgil was the first. He made so many strides for the house, and did so many things. He brought skate culture into this world – while being an American Black man. It’s unreal the fact that I get to do this as well,’ said Pharrell.
LVMH Chairman and Chief Executive Bernard Arnault and his family, whom the star has known for years, have been ‘extremely supportive’ in his new role, he said.
Pharrell was first introduced to the Arnault clan in a collaboration to design sunglasses with Louis Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs in 2004.
The appointment raised eyebrows despite his extensive fashion experience, including founding streetwear brands with Japanese designer Nigo and designing capsule collections at Chanel.
But Pharrell brushed off skeptics who question his lack of formal fashion training. ‘I also didn’t go to Juilliard for music and I’m doing OK,’ he said.
