Sarah Burton is legendary for her work leading Alexander McQueen after the latter's death. On March 7, she showed her first collection for Givenchy.

Givenchy’s new creative director has debuted in one of Paris Fashion Week’s most anticipated moments and a long-awaited reset for a house that, in recent years, has struggled to find its footing.

Paris Fashion Week is not even over yet, but already designs from the runway are making their way to the red carpet. On Sunday, just two days after Sarah Burton presented her debut collection for Givenchy, Cate Blanchett nabbed a look for her movie premiere.

You didn't need a seat at Sarah Burton's Givenchy debut to see it first-thing on Friday morning. The hallowed halls of 3 Avenue George V, Givenchy's Paris address since 1955, quickly made the rounds on social media as the March 7 runway unfolded.

For her first collection as creative director, the British designer went right back to the essence of the French couture house: the silhouettes of the clothes and the woman who wears them

Top models Alex Consani and Eva Herzigová, along with Gwendoline Christie, Kit Connor, and Ryan Destiny turned out to celebrate Burton’s arrival.
