Olandria Carthen Goes for Gold at Her Paris Haute Couture Week Debut in a Rahul Mishra Mini Dress

The Marie Claire article highlights Olandria Carthen’s striking fashion moment at Paris Haute Couture Week, where she made her couture debut as a front-row guest at Rahul Mishra’s Spring 2026 show in a sculptural gold mini dress from his Fall 2025 couture collection. The “Heart of Gold” piece — covered in yellow-gold sequins with a wave-like architectural design — showcased her evolution from a Love Island USA Season 7 runner-up to a rising fashion muse who can hold her own in elite style circles. Her look was elevated by creative styling choices, including metallic pumps, luminous makeup, and a sleek manicure, underscoring her growing presence in international fashion months after leaving the villa.
