"Absolutely ethereal"- BTS' Jimin leaves fans breathless with shirtless blazer look and "Disney Prince" visuals at Dior SS26 Paris Fashion Week show

On October 1, 2025, BTS’s Jimin returned to the global fashion stage as he attended the Dior Spring/Summer 2026 show at Paris Fashion Week. The event at the Jardin des Tuileries marked Dior’s highly anticipated womenswear collection debut under Jonathan Anderson.

Notably, this was Jimin's first official event post his military discharge in June. The runway featured fresh creations, but the appearance of the BTS’ star stole the spotlight from the get-go.

The Serendipity singer appeared in a sleek all-black look that included an oversized Dior jacket and no shirt underneath. He paired the jacket with leather trousers and some heavy jewelry. The idol's blonde hair was styled neatly, and he accessorized the look with rings, layered chains, and some body jewelry.

The jewelry was part of Dior’s Le Jardin de Christian Dior. The choice to expose part of his chest made fans take note of his outfit design. Within minutes, photos and clips of his look flooded social media. Hashtags such as #JiminxDior surpassed one million mentions globally, showcasing his influence in fashion and entertainment.

Fans soon took to social media to express their thoughts on his overall look. They described him as “ethereal.” An X user, @_BTSMoments_, wrote,

Others also joined him as they praised his visuals and the way he carried the outfit with confidence and sophistication. Many admitted they were left breathless by his aura. Some even called him Dior’s true highlight of Paris Fashion Week.

The frenzy online showed how much fans had missed his public appearances. Many celebrated his first major event after completing military service. Netizens also praised the stylist for the singer's look for the evening.

Jimin’s history with Dior, celebrity interactions, and viral airport look

Since 2023, Jimin has served as a global ambassador for Dior. His collaboration with the brand has included appearances such as Paris Fashion Week this year. This marked one of his notable activities with Dior and came ahead of his return to the global fashion scene after enlistment.

At the event, Jimin was spotted interacting with fellow high-profile attendees, including actress Monica Barbaro, Jonathan Bailey, Lingling Kwong, and Orm Kornnaphat. His friendly exchanges and presence added to the excitement of seeing him back in the spotlight.

Before Jimin even set foot in Paris, the hype had begun. On September 30, he was photographed at Incheon International Airport, wearing a striped white button-up shirt, left unbuttoned over his chest. He wore wide-leg trousers and clear glasses.

The relaxed yet classy look went off without a hitch, with numerous media outlets and fans on social media praising Jimin's chic, casual style. The airport fashion moment prepared everyone for the next wave of excitement in Paris.

With Dior appearances now back on his schedule and BTS preparing for their comeback in 2026, the singer's Paris Fashion Week moment showcased his influence in the fashion world and also hinted at a new chapter in his career.
