Because yes, on the people side, she operated a resounding return in 2025.

In addition to Hervé Léger, Azzedine Alaïa also goes with creations such as the dress “La Sirène” (1994). She then falls into the meanders of Fashion Sphere, before returning to the light last season.
At the end of 2024, she was thus handed over to the front of the stage by the model Kaia Gerber: at the Toronto International Film Festival, the latter appears in a white bandage dress, resembling like two drops of water to that carried by her mother 31 years earlier.
