We've been served some absolutely epic runway moments the past few seasons, but few can come close to the star-studded Balenciaga Haute Couture show in Paris on Wednesday morning – which marked creative director Demna's second for the fashion house.

As the crowds swarmed outside brand founder Cristobal Balenciaga's elegant Salon, Demna unveiled a collection filled with signature skin-tight bodysuits, dramatic ballgowns and unadulterated glamour and impeccable craft aplenty.

But beyond spectacular clothes, the Georgian designer had a few other surprises in store. First up, Kim Kardashian's nine-year-old daughter North West made her Paris Haute Couture Week debut sitting on the front row alongside Kris Jenner, and wearing a streetwear-inspired all-black look with sunglasses. A budding diva if ever we saw one.

And the timing couldn't have been more perfect. To celebrate his second Balenciaga couture collection, Demna tapped none other than Kim Kardashian to make her first ever runway appearance. The star, who has long been a fan and collaborator of the brand, walked the runway in a full-length back gown with a low back, over-the-knee boots and her peroxide blonde hair tied in a low bun.

But Kim was only the start. Following the star down the runway was a slew of famous faces. Bella Hadid and Naomi Campbell walked the runway for the first time of the autumn/winter couture season in serious style – but far more unexpected were appearances by singer Dua Lipa and actor Nicole Kidman, who were also transformed into models for the occasion.

Dua Lipa stunned in a canary yellow, one shouldered mini dress with a dramatic train, while Kidman sashayed down the runway in a silver metallic gown and long black gloves.

Now that's Haute Couture Week done right.
