To close out Day 2 of Paris Fashion Week, Saint Laurent echoed last season by holding its runway show underneath a sparkling Eiffel Tower. But this time, the fashion house one-upped itself by having its lineup of models walk on water—literally.
Saint Laurent's Spring 2019 show took place after sunset, with the water-filled runway brightened by white electric palm trees. Although the star-studded front row—filled with everyone from Kate Moss and Cindy Crawford to Salma Hayek and a surprise appearance by Lindsay Lohan—it was the picturesque runway that really stole the show.
Stiletto heels and all, models glided across the water-submerged runway in the brand's Spring/Summer 2019 collection, which included a whopping 95 looks.
It's unclear whether any Saint Laurent shoes were actually ruined for this photo op, but between the whole walking-on-water thing and the Eiffel Tower backdrop, the scene couldn't have been more breathtaking.
If you've seen Crazy Rich Asians, however, this runway setup may look a bit familiar to you. The film's incredibly over-the-top wedding scene similarly featured the bride walking down an aisle flowing with water.
Perhaps one of 2018's hottest film inspired Saint Laurent designer Anthony Vaccarello while prepping for the presentation? While no extravagant wedding gowns appeared in the show's lineup, there were plenty of glitzy mini dresses and sheer looks for the Saint Laurent party girl to choose.
