Few nights on the Paris Fashion Week calendar bring together as diverse a crowd as the BoF500 Gala. Hosted by The Business of Fashion, this event celebrates the BoF 500, an index highlighting individuals who are shaping the global fashion industry since 2013. Members are categorized into eight groups, including Designers, Media, and Models & Muses. This year’s gala took place at the Shangri-La Hotel Paris on Saturday night.

The gala occurred near the midpoint of the week, with designers still buzzing from their runway shows. Sarah Burton had showcased her Givenchy womenswear collection the day before, while Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez had just presented their third collection for Loewe. Guests from over 100 nationalities gathered to welcome the BoF 500 Class of 2026.

The red carpet was filled with star power. Paris Hilton dazzled in a floor-length sheer black lace gown, accompanied by her sister Nicky Hilton, along with Heidi Klum and Nara Smith. Other notable attendees included Law Roach, Coco Rocha, Paloma Elsesser, Winnie Harlow, Ciara, and Damson Idris.

Another Paris made her appearance as well. She wore a striking red-and-black embellished dress featuring a plunging neckline, complemented by a delicate necklace and layered rings, with her wavy, sun-kissed hair cascading down. In a playful moment captured in a second photo, she waved at the camera.

Entertainment Now described her outfit as a black-and-red mini with bell sleeves. The coincidence of two women named Paris at a Paris Fashion Week event added a fun twist to the night.

This isn’t Jackson’s first appearance at Paris Fashion Week. Last October, she attended Tom Ford’s Spring 2026 show alongside her aunt Janet Jackson, donning a long-sleeved black dress with a dramatic slit, sitting front row next to Rita Ora.

Earlier this year, she opted for a softer look at Chloé’s Fall 2026 show, swapping her rocker style for a voluminous pink jacket with billowing sleeves and a high collar. WWD described this look as embodying aesthetic softness and warm tones. Entertainment Now notes that she frequently attends fashion weeks and events.

Outside of the fashion scene, Jackson has been busy as a singer-songwriter. She released the single “teenage drama” on May 22, co-written with producer Linda Perry and released through Republic Records. This single previews an upcoming project and follows her earlier release “zombies in love.”

This summer, she embarked on her first-ever headlining tour, the Zombies Tour, performing across North America from July to September. In an interview with Vogue Hong Kong, she described her upcoming musical project launching in late 2026 with two words: “It’s loud!” She also mentioned that while she still auditions for acting roles, it isn’t her main focus at the moment.

For now, the BoF500 Gala served as a reminder that Jackson navigates the front-row circuit as effortlessly as she does the stage. With her appearances at Paris Fashion Week, a headlining tour, and an album on the horizon, her year has been incredibly eventful.
