Bama Barbie is not giving up!
At Paris Fashion Week, Love Island star Olandria attended Rahul Mishra’s couture presentation wearing a dramatic gold gown by the brand. Rendered in shimmering metallic fabric, the sculptural design features an oversized, petal-like silhouette that wraps around the body, creating a sense of movement and architectural volume.
The look closely mirrored the runway presentation, where the gown appeared as a statement piece emphasizing couture craftsmanship through texture, structure and surface details. The gold finish highlighted the intricate construction, while the brief hemline focused on the sculptural form of the garment.
Olandria’s appearance remained in line with the vision of the collection, with styling by The Riesmans and beauty kept to a minimum to allow the gown to draw attention. He said, “We always loved this look from the previous collection and thought it would be perfect for Olandria as her first fashion moment.”
The result was a direct translation of the runway into real life, cementing the designer’s signature approach to couture as wearable art.
