Wizkid Talks Louis Vuitton, Pharrell and His Upcoming Album, Morayo

Paris is busting this month with activations designed to maintain its position as a cultural and artistic hub. Paris Mens Fashion Week kicks off as a precursor to the Olympics, unveiling this year’s acknowledgments of creative excellence shortly before bestowing athletic ones. Dressed to impress, Carpenter hit the bright blue carpet at La Maison de l’UNESCO, where Louis Vuitton Men’s creative director Pharrell Williams’ highly-anticipated show took place. The “Espresso” singer leaned into the menswear theme with a tailored white blazer, which doubled as a minidress.

A jacket was made out of the leather cuts that would wrap the world’s most expensive soccer ball, in a nod to the ultimate global sport. Blue-and-green-check suits were made with Paris-based collective Air Afrique, who launched in 2020 to provide a platform for artists and creatives throughout the African diaspora. Finally, an explosion of multicolored Damier checks sealed the closing ceremony of Pharrell’s Olympic games. Pharrell’s work is lavishly detailed with jewels and micro monograms and completely custom hardware that changes season to season, but the silhouettes were concise and controlled, even stately. You could imagine any of the globetrotting VIPs in the audience changing into a camel overcoat or satin-y dressing gown before deplaning for a high-level summit (or at least an awards show).

Sabrina Carpenter turned menswear into womenswear with the styling of her white Louis Vuitton blazer to suit her girlish aesthetic. Jackson Wang, a Louis Vuitton front row regular, showcased his elegant style in a Louis Vuitton suit highlighting how subtle details can elevate an outfit. Pharrell Williams’ collection received widespread attention, not just for the designs but also for the eclectic and stylish crowd it attracted from Louis Vuitton ambassadors, singers, actors, and athletes. The couple, who is fairly private about their relationship, coordinated their red carpet looks, which were by Chrome Hearts, one of Williams’ favorite designers. Expect Williams to continue his streak as Paris’ front-row ubiquitor this season. He’s also hosting one of the week’s hottest parties, a dinner with Wang celebrating the Hong Kong rapper’s sale on Joopiter, the auction platform that Williams launched in 2022.

Sabrina Carpenter, Victor Wembanyama, Maluma, Jerrod Carmichael, and dozens of other A-listers were on hand at the Louis Vuitton Men’s Spring-Summer 2025 show, which was held on the grounds of the UNESCO headquarters.

Sabrina Carpenter traded in “Espresso” for flat white — though there was nothing flat about the dazzlingly tailored look she wore to Louis Vuitton’s Spring 2025 menswear show. As the hip-hop community is so integral to Williams’ creative lineage, the rap-duo Clipse (Pusha T and No Malice) debuted new music at the show.

For the Paris Fashion Week moment, Williams and Co. have provided Wiz with one of the freshest looks from the pre-SS25 collection, comprising a V-neck Fair Isle jumper, a pair of tailored shorts and a very nice shirt. He makes it his own by swapping out the collegiate tie seen in the lookbook for an ivory one, and the preppy loafers for some white sneakers. Carpenter sported her usual glam for the occasion, wearing her signature blonde hair in a half-up, half-down style with loose curls and wispy curtain bangs. On the makeup front, she opted for a set of fluttering false eyelashes, laminated brows, mauve blush, and a matching glossy lip. A year after shutting down Paris with his momentous Louis Vuitton debut, Pharrell Williams’ latest runway spectacle once again brought the stars out in droves.

A reinterpretation of the Damier pattern featured pale brown checks with multicolored accents. Cultural headquarters populated with ambassadors, Williams explored various archetypes. The explorer appeared in sturdy yet stylish outerwear, including utility jackets and vests. The dandy, another key figure, strutted down the Damier-check grass runway in jackets and coats adorned with rhinestones and pearl embroidery. It’s a solid, expected approach, but because he is mostly playing with the same pieces and silhouettes each season, the overall effect can feel very wash, rinse, repeat. “Le Monde est à Vous,” translated to The World Is Yours, is the moniker for Pharrell Williams’ third collection with Louis Vuitton in his role helming the French luxury brand’s men’s division.

Pharrell’s appointment at the cultural maison results from a long-since demonstration of his effectiveness with the brand. “His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards an exciting new chapter,” wrote Louis Vuitton’s Chairman and CEO, Pietro Beccari, in 2023, nodding to Pharrell’s LV collaborations in 2004 and 2008, respectively. The 25-year-old pop star attended the storied fashion house’s presentation Tuesday at the Paris headquarters of UNESCO, showing off a lot of leg in a brilliantly white double-breasted jacket with a peaked collar that hit at her upper thigh.
