Paris Jackson Brings Red-and-Black Glam to the BoF500 Gala in Paris

Few nights on the Paris Fashion Week calendar pull together as wide a mix of people as the BoF500 Gala. Hosted by The Business of Fashion, the party celebrates the BoF 500, an index of the people shaping the global fashion industry that has run since 2013. It sorts its members into 8 categories, including Designers, Media and Models & Muses. This year’s edition took over the Shangri-La Hotel Paris on Saturday night.

The gala landed near the midpoint of the week, when designers were still fresh off their runway shows. Sarah Burton had presented her Givenchy womenswear lineup the day before, and Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez had just shown their third collection for Loewe. Guests came from more than 100 nationalities to welcome the BoF 500 Class of 2026.

The carpet had plenty of star power. Paris Hilton wore a floor-length sheer black lace gown and was joined by her sister Nicky Hilton, Heidi Klum and Nara Smith. Law Roach, Coco Rocha, Paloma Elsesser, Winnie Harlow, Ciara and Damson Idris were also on the guest list.

Another Paris joined them. She wears a red-and-black embellished dress with a plunging neckline, a delicate necklace and layered rings, with her wavy, sun-streaked hair worn loose. In the second photo she gives the camera a playful wave.

Entertainment Now described the dress as a black-and-red mini with bell sleeves. With Paris Hilton also on the carpet, the night had a fun coincidence: 2 women named Paris at a Paris Fashion Week party.

This is hardly Jackson’s first Paris Fashion Week appearance. Last October she attended Tom Ford’s Spring 2026 show with her aunt Janet Jackson, wearing a long-sleeved black dress with a dramatic slit. She sat front row next to Rita Ora.

Earlier this year she went softer at Chloé’s fall 2026 show, trading her rocker style for a voluminous pink jacket with billowing sleeves and a high collar. WWD described the look as aesthetic softness and warm tones. Entertainment Now notes she is a regular at fashion weeks and events.

Away from the carpet, Jackson has been busy as a singer-songwriter. She released the single “teenage drama” on May 22, co-written with producer Linda Perry and out via Republic Records. It previewed a forthcoming project and followed her earlier single “zombies in love”.

This summer she also launched her first-ever headlining tour, the Zombies Tour, playing cities across North America from July to September. In an interview with Vogue Hong Kong, she described the musical project launching in late 2026 with 2 words: “It’s loud!” She added that she still submits for acting roles when auditions come in. Acting, she said, isn’t at the forefront of her mind right now.

For now, the BoF500 Gala was a reminder that Jackson works the front-row circuit as comfortably as the stage. Between the Paris Fashion Week appearances, the headlining tour and an album on the way, her year has been full.
