For his second Dior Haute Couture collection, Jonathan Anderson blanketed the Musée Rodin in dense, tropical vegetation.

Staging a show that drew its textural, three-dimensional inspiration from American sculptor Lynda Benglis. Taylor Swift attended as, by several accounts, a Dior bride, while Eileen Gu, Sabrina Carpenter and Seventeen's Mingyu rounded out a front row that has become almost as closely watched as the clothes themselves. The show continued Anderson's project of opening up a conversation between art, nature and fashion at Dior a thread that has run through his tenure at the house since his debut, and one that this season pushed further into genuinely immersive set design.
