V made a striking return to the global spotlight as he attended Celine’s 2026 Spring/Summer collection showcase at Paris Fashion Week on July 6. This marked his first official solo appearance following his military discharge on June 10. As expected, he went viral not only for his impeccable fashion but also for his presence among major global figures. Among the many noteworthy moments at the event, one interaction stood out—Anna Wintour personally inviting him to the upcoming Vogue World: Hollywood event.
Anna Wintour, one of fashion’s most influential figures and former editor-in-chief of Vogue US, was seen speaking directly to V during the show. In a widely shared Vogue video, she was captured warmly greeting him and extending a personal invitation to attend the fourth annual Vogue World event, set to take place in Hollywood this October. “Lovely to meet you. Welcome to Paris. We’re hoping you’re coming to our event in Hollywood in October,” she said during their first interaction. V, slightly caught off guard, responded with a simple “wow.”
Later, the two were seated next to each other during a photo session at the venue. Once again, Wintour extended the invitation, adding, “We would love to have you on our show in Hollywood.” This time, V responded, “I appreciate it,” confirming his gratitude for the gesture.
The moment quickly gained attention online. Fans were amazed not only by the casual exchange but also by the fact that Anna Wintour, known for being reserved and selective, approached V directly—and more than once. Social media buzzed with comments pointing out how rare it is for her to show such personal interest in younger celebrities, especially on camera. Many speculated that she was making the invitation publicly known so that V’s agency, BIGHIT MUSIC, would also take note.
Fans praised V for making such a strong impression, calling him “IT BOY” and celebrating how effortlessly he seemed to command attention among the fashion elite. His fans also highlighted the significance of being personally invited by someone of Wintour’s stature, interpreting it as a mark of true influence and global appeal.
As Paris Fashion Week concluded, the buzz around V’s appearance only solidified his reputation as a global style icon. With October’s Vogue World event on the horizon, many are already eager to see whether he will take up Wintour’s offer—and what he’ll wear if he does.
