The design Cher’s 2026 Grammys look was based on made its runway debut in September 2024 as part of Paris Fashion Week. The show and collection were, per Rhonda Richford’s WWD review of the collection, “an homage to Cristóbal Balenciaga and his home country of Spain.”
“Embroidered matador boleros topped lace leggings and thigh-high stockings, while traditional montera hats were modernized with a Nike swoop and finished with fringe,” Richford wrote of the dominantly black and white color-palletted collection.
“Strips of leather mimicked a skirt and lace trousers rested well below hip bones and whale tales, surpassing even Y2K standards. Some models gripped bubble skirts at the waist. Much of the collection was barely there, then de Javier quickly contradicted himself with voluminous capes, explosions of tulle and draped silk jersey dresses that completely covered the body.”
