Paris, France – Video filmed by X user Elia M., a Paris-based poster who regularly shares celebrity sightings, fashion events, and scenes from daily city life, shows music icon Elton John departing the Maison Valentino haute couture show during Paris Couture Week.

The footage was recorded on January 28, 2026, with the filmer later confirming the time as 16:16 and the exact location as 82 Av. Georges Lafont, 75016 Paris, in the city’s 16th arrondissement.

The clip captures Sir Elton exiting the venue and heading toward a waiting black luxury vehicle. He is accompanied by security or members of his entourage as he leaves the show.

Elton John appears in good spirits while making his way from the entrance to the car, where an aide holds the door open. A small crowd, photographers, and security staff are visible nearby.

The video was posted with a caption noting that Elton John was seen in Paris leaving the Maison Valentino show after attending Alessandro Michele’s couture collection. The post received modest engagement online but quickly led to multiple inquiries requesting permission to use the footage, which the filmer approved along with providing date and location details.

The appearance took place during Paris Couture Week Fall/Winter 2026–2027, held in late January 2026, when Valentino’s show under creative director Alessandro Michele attracted well-known guests, including Elton John, who is recognized for his long-standing interest in fashion and regular attendance at major runway events.
