In the early hours of July 18 (KST), BTS kicked off the Paris stop of their ARIRANG World Tour at the iconic Stade de fяαи¢є. On one of Europe's most prestigious stages, the K-pop superstars delivered a series of electrifying performances, showcasing their powerful live vocals built on years of solid vocal technique. Their explosive stage presence sent the sold-out crowd into a frenzy from beginning to end.

Fans were also quick to notice that BTS had prepared a special surprise for Paris by debuting a brand-new set of stage outfits, replacing the costumes they had worn at previous stops of the European leg. After all, as global ambαѕѕadors for some of the world's most prestigious luxury fashion houses, arriving in the fashion capital of the world called for their most captivating style statements.

Even more notably, while most of the members wore coordinated black ensembles featuring leather-inspired materials and a bold, edgy aesthetic, V and Jimin's outfits appeared to stand out with distinctive design details. It didn't take long for their looks to become one of the hottest topics across social media.

As close-up photos and videos from the concert spread online, fans began examining every detail of the two idols' stage outfits. To their surprise, many discovered that what made the looks so special was that they had been custom-made by CELINE and Dior exclusively for their respective global ambαѕѕadors.

V's outfit immediately drew attention with its structured shoulder design and gold-toned embellishments across the shoulders and chest, creating a regal, commanding appearance reminiscent of European royal or military attire. Even more intriguing was a circular logo incorporated into the design—a signature detail indicating that it was a CELINE Custom Outfit. In other words, the luxury house specially created the ensemble exclusively for V's concert appearance in Paris.

Meanwhile, Jimin received the same level of special treatment from Dior, the luxury brand he represents. Les Flappers—a fashion media/editorial account known for covering the luxury fashion industry—confirmed: "Jimin wears custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson at the BTS concert in Paris, inspired by Look 46 from the Dior Men SS26 collection." The report indicates that Jimin's stage outfit was also a newly created custom design made exclusively for his performance in fяαи¢є.

The surprises did not end with the bespoke outfits. Fans also noticed that several influential figures from the fashion industry attended the concert in person at Stade de fяαи¢є to support their brands' global ambαѕѕadors.

Representing CELINE, several members of the "CELINE family" were spotted at the venue, including the brand's VIP Director, Max Dickson. He even shared an Instagram Story showing his support for V, further convincing fans that the French fashion house attached special significance to its ambαѕѕador's appearance in the brand's home city.

On Dior's side, Peter Utz also attracted considerable attention. After joining CELINE alongside Hedi Slimane in 2018, he served as the brand's Director of Couture and Events until 2025. In September 2025, he returned to Dior as Global PR Director, where he now works directly with Jimin. His attendance at the Paris concert was therefore seen as another meaningful gesture of support.

Taken together, these details reflect the extraordinary support and recognition that both CELINE and Dior extended to their global ambαѕѕadors during BTS's visit to Paris—the home city of the two iconic French luxury houses. Fans were left astonished and immensely proud of V and Jimin's influence, flooding social media with praise for the breathtaking custom-made outfits created especially for the two stars:
