Parisian style is effortlessly elegant. But during Paris Fashion Week, striped tees and baskets were swapped out for something with a bit more pizazz. The street style set embraced the party dress, opting for rosette-studded ball gowns, lace dresses, and fringe-hemmed minis with little concern for all the rain.

Paris Fashion Week is dominated by the fashion A-list, with a lineup of back-to-back shows by Dior, Valentino, Saint Laurent, and Chanel. These luxury houses host mega shows with thousands of attendees and a handful of household name celebrities sitting front row wearing runway looks.

And so it’s not unusual to spot people coming and going in designer looks fully intended for black-tie galas or far-flung destination weddings. While those looks aren’t necessarily designed to walk the streets of Paris, there are some party dresses that can be styled down in a way that still has that Parisian effortlessness for daily wear. Others are just fully meant to be as extra as possible—all you just need to wear them daily is to just channel the confidence of fashion week attendees who wear them to run between shows.

See the best street style from Paris Fashion Week below, and find inspiration on how to style your dressiest dress.

Dressed In Fringe

A swinging fringe hem benefits from a twirl on the dance floor, or perhaps for the street style photographers outside of a show.

Tauba Satin Ribbon Body-Con Dress

Sometimes fringe can read very western, but this take by Proenza couldn’t be more elegant.

Fit For A Ball

A dramatic strapless ballgown may seem better fit for black-tie events rather than outside the Palais de Tokyo, but in Paris, there’s no such thing as being overdressed. Swap heels for a pair of ballet flats and you can wear this look any where.

Dressed Down

A showgoer takes a more relaxed route with an elegant yellow dress by styling it with a leather jacket and a burgundy shoulder bag. In terms of wearability, it proves that even a formal dress can work for more casual occasions.

Bow details continue to be a popular choice among the street style set and on the runway. Even Prada’s latest collection had bows incorporated in every other look. Build on the playful vibe with metallic heels and printed tights.
