Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, The Martian star Jessica Chastain and Little Women actress Florence Pugh were all in attendance at the Dior event, along with models Cara Delevingne and Suki Waterhouse.

Dressed in looks from the storied label, the stars were also joined at the event by influencer and designer Karen Wazen, who lives in Dubai.

At Chanel, which held its catwalk display on Tuesday, Normal People actress Daisy Edgar Jones joined a number of French style stars, such as Caroline de Maigret, at Palais Galliera.

Also taking place in Paris on Monday evening was a celebrity-studded dinner to fete a new collection of fragrances by Louis Vuitton.

Stars including Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner, and actress Diane Kruger joined creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere for the glitzy bash held at the brand's French headquarters in the city.

The event was held to celebrate a collaboration with architect Frank Gehry, who designed the bottles for five new scents, imagined by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud.

Couture Week is set to welcome live catwalks from more labels in the coming days, such as Lebanon's Zuhair Murad, Chanel, Giorgio Armani Prive and Jean Paul Gaultier.
