Hedi Slimane’s appointment as the creative, artistic and image director of luxury French brand Celine is easily one of the most interesting and controversial moments in recent haute couture history. The French photographer and designer famous for his feisty and potent glam-rock aesthetic was perhaps the most unlikely successor for a brand like Celine — a label synonymous with relaxed, understated French girl dressing.
Slimane’s first show at Paris Fashion Week received the most polarizing reviews a runway show can possibly acquire. On one hand, he completely changed Celine’s tone of femininity by introducing loud sequins and overpowering retro accents. And on the other hand, his debut was, in a word, glorious.
And Hollywood A-listers are clearly on board with Slimane as Celine’s main man; Lady Gaga, Dakota Johnson, Amber Heard and Angelina Jolie have already been seen out and about in the new Celine.

Hollywood loves the new Celine, and these pictures are proof

Dakota Johnson
Dakota Johnson was the first A-lister to wear a number by Slimane's Celine after the Paris Fashion Week show. Perhaps the actor's fiercest look yet, Dakota went for a disco-chic aesthetic in a bell-sleeved asymmetrical red dress with a seriously blingy finish.

Lady Gaga
Slimane's first show for Celine had Lady Gaga sitting FROW, and for obvious reasons the collection's dominant grungy vibe resonates with Gaga. The Oscar winner sported a black turtleneck dress and a patent snakeskin leather trench.

Emma Stone has obviously envisioned the future, as she has been steadily wearing Slimane's Celine numbers for many past appearances. She opted for this off-white wool and silk minidress featuring two-tone cabochon gems for a screening.
