Ashley Graham came to Paris to slay.
The supermodel, 36, nailed her strut on the Vogue World: Paris runway at the Place Vendôme on June 23 when she walked out in a ’70s-style bold purple dress and matching bold eye makeup.
Graham’s dress featured a fitted knit bodice with an asymmetrical neckline and a voluminous textured skirt that tapered at her ankles. She wore her hair sleek and straight, and her makeup was kept simple other than the metallic eye shadow decorating her lids.
For this year’s event, which paid tribute to the intersection of fashion and sports, the event took viewers through the decades as told by both. Graham walked through the 1970s, which honored gymnastics — as well as the Battle of Versailles charity night. The clothing paid tribute to all of it and nodded to Studio 54 and Le Palace.

The third edition of Vogue’s sartorial spectacle, Vogue World: Paris, hosted by Cara Delevingne, featured over 500 athletes, performers, surprise guests and models also including Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid — who rode horses for the show — Paloma Elsesser and Amelia Gray Hamlin.
Vogue described the theme as a “collaboration with youth athletic academies from throughout France” that will look back at fashion over the decades, starting at the 1920s, paired with different sports, such as cycling, gymnastics, tennis, fencing and breaking. The show spotlighted designers of the past and present, as well as fashion labels that traditionally present their collections in Paris.

Recently, Graham has been booked and busy, co-hosting Vogue‘s 2024 Met Gala livestream, working with Good American on its casting program and parenting her three sons, Isaac, 4, and twins Roman and Malachi, 2, whom she shares with husband Justin Ervin.
She also just released A Kids Book About Beauty, which is made for children but offers a meaningful message for all ages on self-love and inner beauty.

“Whether I had kids or not, this would have been a project I said, ‘yes’ to,” Graham, an advocate for body positivity and inclusivity, told PEOPLE ahead of the book’s debut on June 4.
Practicing affirmations are a big theme in the book and it’s something Graham teaches her kids at home. “They’re these fearless little dinosaurs that really don’t know what life is at all [but] we do have them say things out loud, like ‘I am healed, and I am strong, and I am smart and kind,’ ” she said.
