Saudi Model Features at Paris Fashion Week with Jacquemus Show

Saudi-French model Amira Al-Zuhair marked a major milestone in her career as she walked the runway at Jacquemus’ Fall/Winter 2026 “Le Palmier” collection during Paris Fashion Week, celebrating her first show of 2026.

The model shared the moment with her followers on Instagram, expressing gratitude to designer Simon Porte Jacquemus and the creative team behind the show.

Staged at the Musée National Picasso in Paris, the co-ed presentation brought Jacquemus’ signature aesthetic to life through playful yet sculptural silhouettes, blending mid-century couture influences with 1990s sensibilities. The show served as the finale of Paris Men’s Fashion Week, setting the tone ahead of the upcoming couture season.

Al-Zuhair closed a segment of the show in a striking look that embodied the collection’s balance of elegant simplicity and bold form. She wore a black midi skirt paired with a structured blazer-style top, featuring a cut-out detail at the back and cinched at the waist with a wide belt. A wide-brimmed hat completed the ensemble, adding a dramatic flourish to the minimalist look.

“Merci infiniment Simon. It was an honor to be part of this iconic show with such an amazing team, congratulations! Thank you for having me,” Al-Zuhair wrote on Instagram following the presentation.

The Jacquemus show celebrated joie de vivre, weaving together confetti-like motifs, geometric shapes and refined irreverence, a hallmark of the French designer’s vision. The front row featured an array of international stars, including Elton John, Sophie Marceau, Josh Hartnett and members of Korean girl group Illit.

Al-Zuhair’s Paris Fashion Week appearance follows a strong 2025, during which she was announced as a “Friend of the House” for Italian luxury brand Bulgari. Sharing the news on social media, she described the partnership as an exciting new chapter.

Images from the announcement included the model wearing a soft pink gown by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika at a Bulgari event celebrating the Polychroma High Jewelry Collection, which debuted at the Met Gala in New York last May.

Born in Paris to a Saudi father and French mother, Al-Zuhair has steadily built an international fashion career. She has walked for major fashion houses including Missoni, Maison Alaïa, Brunello Cucinelli, Balmain, Dolce & Gabbana, Giambattista Valli, Giorgio Armani and Elie Saab, among others.

Beyond the runway, she has also fronted campaigns for leading global brands such as Prada, Chanel and Carolina Herrera, cementing her status as one of the most prominent Saudi figures in the international fashion industry.
