Paris Couture week has kicked off, and we have seen A-list celebs from Teyana Taylor to “Love Island USA” very own superstar Olandria Carthen attend the luxurious fashion shows.

Looking like a golden goddess, Carthen dazzled in a Rahul Mishra sculpted gold mini dress with gold sequins all over it.

She wore matching gold heels as she sat in the front row for the Rahul Mishra SS26 fashion show, and her glam did not disappoint as usual.

She was styled in a slicked-back hairstyle that made her features pop out while her skin shimmered with a fine layer of glitter.

The reality TV star is certainly working her way up to fashion icon status because in the fashion world, she is known as the “Love Island” alum who serves when it comes to fashion.

This is not the first time this month that Carthen has made headlines.

She also made headlines when she attended the Golden Globes wearing a breathtaking emerald gown by Christian Siriano.

Not only is she cementing her status as a fashion icon, but she is also a model and made her debut on the runway in 2025.

Carthen walked her first runway show during the New York Fashion Week in September 2025 for Sergio Hudson.

In addition, it is also alleged that she will be walking on the runway yet again during the Haute Couture Week in Paris, but it has not been revealed for which fashion house.

More about Mishra’s “Alchemy” SS26 collection:

For his Spring/Summer Collection, Mishra turned to the five elements, namely: earth, water, fire, air and aether (space) into meticulously designed garments.

“I recently spent a lot of time in the hills at my new house in Aatman with my design teams.

“You start valuing clean air, clean water, good sunlight, and fertile soil. These are very basic things, but they are also the elements that really constitute life,” he said in an online interview.

The Indian designer revealed that every gown was handmade, and some gowns even took six months to complete.

Mishra also shared that for this collection, they specifically chose hand embroidery.

“Everything is created through hand embroidery. That is what makes it special,” he shared.
