Cara Delevingne in Jean Paul Gaultier’s daring spring vision

The Jean Paul Gaultier spring 2027 ready to wear collection channels the house’s signature approach to the body: a measured, deliberate exposure that speaks far more eloquently than revelation alone. At the Los Angeles premiere of A24’s Club Kid, held at the Vista Theatre, Cara Delevingne wore a navy blazer from the collection, its tailoring cut with the precision Gaultier has long mastered, a deep keyhole aperture at the centre chest breaking the severity of the silhouette with a single, perfectly placed breath of skin.

The piece moves with both structure and fluidity, the jacket’s oversized shoulders providing a counterpoint to the body’s geometry beneath. A turtleneck rises from the collar in matching navy, a choice that amplifies the architect’s sensibility at work here: nothing decorative, nothing surplus. The proportions speak, the cut speaks, the negative space speaks. This is Gaultier’s vocabulary, refined across decades and applied here with the assurance of a house that understands the grammar of seduction through intellect rather than display.

Delevingne’s styling allows the piece to breathe as intended. Her hair falls in soft waves, a deliberate counterbalance to the tailored geometry of the jacket. The juxtaposition feels neither accidental nor forced, but rather the natural meeting point of modernity and the house’s enduring obsession with how fabric meets form. The collection continues Gaultier’s exploration of femininity as something sophisticated, complex, and entirely under its own command.
