A Look at the Red, White, and Blue Dress by Alaïa Seen at Vogue World 2024

by Minh Phan

Some garments come to define an era—and such is the case with the famous red, white, and blue dress that will always be linked to the history of Alaïa, and of France itself. For Vogue World: Paris, Pieter Mulier breathed new life into this trio of colors as he kicks off Act IV, a tribute to soccer and the 1990s styled by Ib Kamara.

Vogue World: Paris serves to highlight the excellence and savoir-faire of the greatest French fashion houses—and few designers occupy that position like Azzedine Alaïa. In 1989, Alaïa designed the famous red, white, and blue dress inspired by the French tricolor that the acclaimed American opera singer Jessye Norman wore when she gave a breathtaking rendition of the Marseillaise on the Place de la Concorde. It would be at the center of many unforgettable and iconic images from the bicentennial celebrations of the French Revolution in Paris.
