It’s official—Paris Fashion Week 2025 wasn’t about the clothes. It was about Kim Taehyung being the human definition of grace. On October 5, at CELINE’s Été 2026 show, he didn’t just attend—he melted the internet by being, well, himself.
Taehyung arrived looking every inch the Parisian dream in a knee-length brown coat from Michael Rider’s debut collection, paired with matching trousers and that effortlessly magnetic aura only he can pull off. The cameras clicked, the crowd screamed, and then came the moment. Sitting beside Hollywood legend Uma Thurman, Taehyung noticed a strand of her hair out of place—and gently fixed it. That’s it. That’s the tweet. One smooth, respectful motion and suddenly “A Real Gentleman” was trending worldwide.
Fans couldn’t get enough of it. Clips of the moment spread like wildfire, captioned with every variation of “Prince Taehyung” imaginable. People called him elegant, classy, expensive—because honestly, what else do you call a man who speaks in French, fixes Uma Thurman’s hair, and still finds time to smile at every fan behind the barricade?
The night didn’t stop there. Taehyung greeted rookie group MEOVV’s Narin, chatted with members of TWS, and exchanged words with Sidney Toledano—the former chief of Christian Dior and now an advisor to LVMH’s Bernard Arnault. In fluent French, he replied, “Merci. I’m doing good, great!” because apparently, speaking multiple languages is just part of being Kim Taehyung.
Throughout the evening, he took photos with CELINE staff, waved to the press, and signed autographs for fans who had been waiting for hours. Everyone he interacted with—from industry executives to regular attendees—had the same thing to say: respectful, poised, and kind.
Online, the reactions were pure chaos in the best way. Fans wrote that he looked like a prince straight out of a fairy tale, that he outclassed everyone in the room, and that the word “gentleman” might as well be renamed “Taehyung.” Because honestly, he didn’t just show up at CELINE—he elevated the event by existing.
And that’s the power of him. Taehyung doesn’t have to try. He just breathes, and the world swoons.
