At a salon privé in Paris, Elie Saab unveiled La Nouvelle Cour: his Autumn-Winter 2026 Haute Couture collection — a celebration of the modern muse who’s bold, unapologetically feminine, and effortlessly regal.
Embracing sculptural silhouettes, rich textures, and sensual details, the collection redefines glamour with audacity and grace. French corsetry is reimagined as a symbol of power and seduction, crafted in ebony velvet, shimmering metallics, and delicate lace.
Dramatic volumes and moiré draping highlight the body with playful elegance and a dreamy palette of macaron pastels like nude, rose, mint, and blue is sharpened by imperial black and gold. Floral motifs bloom across prints and brocades, while oversized bows and feathered finishes add layers of romance and mystique.
Evening looks are completed with sweeping velvet capes, leading up to the final moment: a radiant bride crowned in moonlit embroidery and an opulent pearl-toned overskirt.
Regal yet effortless, refined yet dynamic, this collection is a timeless expression of feminine grace. Beautifully hand-crafted and full of precious embellishment, this evocative collection summons an enchanting realm where pleasure, power and playfulness rule.
