Irish designer Simone Rocha is known for the boundless whimsy of her creations, inspired by artists like Robert Rauschenberg and Louise Bourgeois, as well as her father, fashion designer John Rocha.
Those silhouettes have garnered increasing acclaim since Rocha began showing at London fashion week in 2010, culminating in her being tapped a guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 2024 couture collection.
Rocha’s celebrity fans are no less devoted. Norwegian-American actress Kristine Froseth attends Simone Rocha’s fall 2024 show, fending off Mother Nature in an enormous, pale pink couture raincoat and Rocha’s blinged-out collaboration with Crocs.
Actress and It girl Chloë Sevigny — who previously walked in the brand’s 2019 London fashion week show — is a gift to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in the label’s prodigious bow look. In another classic design from the label, “Saltburn” matriarch Rosamund Pike is an English rose in a frothy gown with fresh flowers at the BAFTA Tea Party.
Since Simone Rocha’s haute couture run for Jean Paul Gaultier rocked the runway in Paris in January, stars have co-signed the collection by rocking here, there and everywhere.
Once again, Rosamund Pike — a friend of the brand if there ever was one — wears a look from Rocha’s JPG collection, this time an iridescent skirt set for the British Vogue x Tiffany and Co. Fashion and Film Party.
German actress Diane Kruger (“Marlowe”) is done up in ravishing ribbons from the Gaultier collection attending the 2024 César Film Awards in Paris.
Pop star Caroline Polachek, strutting her stuff at the Brit Awards in a shiny satin ensemble with a cheeky sculptural bralette, is so hot she’s hurting our feelings.
And last — but certainly not least — A-list English actress Florence Pugh is gauzy and gorgeous at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
