Paola Turani wearing a gold and black beaded mermaid gown at Tony Ward Haute Couture show Paris 2026

At the Tony Ward Haute Couture Spring Summer 2026 show in Paris on January 26, Paola Turani delivered a red carpet moment that felt both cinematic and precise. She arrived wearing a sculpted mermaid gown that balanced shimmer with structure, letting craftsmanship take center stage.

The floor-length dress featured a sheer gold base layered with intricate beadwork that gradually darkened into black sequins toward the hem. The ombré effect gave the gown depth, shifting from warm metallic glow to rich midnight tones as she moved. Cut close through the waist and hips, the silhouette flared subtly at the bottom, creating a fluid train that followed her steps without overpowering the look.

The fitted corset-style bodice anchored the drama. Black embellishments framed the neckline and bust, echoing the darker tones of the skirt and giving the gown a strong architectural feel. Every bead caught the light, creating a constant play between sparkle and shadow under the Parisian evening sky.

Turani kept her styling refined and intentional. Her hair was worn sleek and softly pulled back, allowing the detailed craftsmanship of the dress to stand uninterrupted. Makeup stayed elegant and warm, with glowing skin, softly defined eyes, and a neutral lip that complemented the gold tones of the gown.
