What if we took a closer look at all the stars that bring sparkle to our lives, glamour to our wondering little eyes, and rhythm to our ears? Do you know who we're talking about? These French and international superstars who put almost as much emphasis on their image as on their music. Eccentricity on stage is the essence of this new Arena Mode column. Get ready for a great fashion and pop culture experience !

Musical empowerment

Female pop superstars are conquering international audiences, and the fashion world is catching on too. Obviously. When we hear "music star" and "extravagance", we immediately think of THE one and only pop icon: Madonna! Celebrated for her provocative style, Madonna never ceases to surprise with her incredible stage outfits: wedding gowns, extra-tight, all leather looks, or the famous pointed breast corset designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier. She forever embodies the image of the great divas. With her rebellious attitude and her irresistible femme fatale look, she's as seductive as she is fascinating. But she's not alone in this race for extravagant style! Lady Gaga is also more than just a superstar. The "Bad Romance" singer hasn’t just built her career on her incredible voice and global hits. The star has also made a name for herself with unconventional looks that break all rules. Behind the eccentricity of her clothes, glasses, and hats, makeup prowess can be found. XXL eyelashes, paint-covered face, glamour and glitter: her creativity knows no limits. This was quickly understood by the style queen of the 2000s, Christina Aguilera. She dictated the trends at the very beginning of the century, offering us legendary looks: ultra-low-waisted jeans, lace-up pants, apparent thong, young naïve look, lady of the 30s or futuristic dominatrix… The star of "Genie in a bottle" left her mark on the fashion world with ever more iconic looks.

A photographer’s dream, Rihanna obviously joins the top of the podium. True to herself, Riri mixes streetwear influenced by the RnB of the 1990s-2000s with current fashion trends. She's been doing this for about fifteen years, and it’s still in vogue. It seems that becoming the biggest pop star on the planet wasn't enough for Dua Lipa. The singer has also decided to conquer the fashion world, and it's working! As a luxury brand ambassador, trendsetter and new it-girl, she continues to create trendy looks by mixing aesthetics, playing with styles and doesn’t shy away from wearing surprising pieces, as well as making new hits. How about the daring Rosalía? The young Catalan singer continues to innovate by combining the "new flamenco" movement with pop and RnB sounds. With her performance at the Accor Arena this winter, she confirmed her status as a versatile artist, amazing her fans with colorful and quirky looks, both street and chic. 💃🏻

K-pop Passion


This is THE sensational phenomenon that is shaking up the music world in terms of style. Coming straight from South Korea, K-pop ⚡️ has established itself as a music genre with billions of views and fans. It's a true culture in its own right! The style of the bands is just as important as the song, or the clip. Especially since the genre has perfectly integrated fashion and clothing into its way of communicating! Celebrities also benefit from communities of super-active fans on social media, who are proud to join every tour looking ultra-stylish. K-Pop stars have EVERYTHING to grow in the fashion world... The style of BlackPink, BTS, Red Velvet, or Ateez, follows this logic. 💓 Let's talk about BlackPink. In duets with Dua Lipa or Lady Gaga, their faces are now famous across the world. Jisoo, Rosé, Lisa, and Jennie are among the most influential fashion personalities in the world: they are the most fashionable girls of the moment. The key to their success? Cheerful music that gets people moving and a girl band that embodies our fashion aspirations. In the male category, the BTS band stands out! 🦋 Suga, RM, J-Hope, Jimin, V, Jin, and Jungkook have won the music scene with their unique style and irresistible hits such as "Dynamite". Their iconic looks have also earned them the status of French Haute Couture ambassadors since 2021. No less!

Brits & Frenchies compete in eccentricity


In addition to being outstanding musicians and artists, some icons of the male music scene are also major fashion figures, both in life and on stage. Let's take a look at -M-. Since his debut, the singer has been known as much for his musical genius as for his flamboyant looks. His trademark? His freaky haircut, brushed in the shape of an M! He also often wears jackets with XXL collars, an electric guitar that matches his outfit, and fanciful sunglasses. -M- has the mojo and a unique style that is recognizable in every way.

What if there was some kind of relationship with one of the most eccentric-looking artists? Sir Elton John, the interplanetary 🏴 icon of overflowing energy and classics. What does his career owe to his costumes? Definitely a lot! The Rocket Man's flamboyant and fantastic clothing choices have become as vital and revolutionary as his greatest musical achievements. His impressive collection of fancy sunglasses continues to inspire many superstars around the world.

🕶 When talking about mythical glasses in music, we immediately think of none other than Michel Polnareff. With more than 40 years of career, this extraordinary personality is forever associated to his crazy look. Few people in the world can boast of ever having seen the singer of « La poupée qui fait non » without his sunglasses! It's hard to imagine the Admiral without his trademark accessory... Sometimes, he even goes so far as to wear them with his almost birthday suit, as some posters or album covers remind us.

And as a dignified British provocateur, Robbie Williams has never been short of audacity either. He always likes to make a sensation thanks to his extravagant looks (with tattoos) tempered by an unexpected touch of sobriety. From an outfit consisting of white gaiters, top hat, colorful jackets with shimmering fabrics, and vaporous shirts, Robbie Williams can seamlessly switch to a more casual look: jacket, jeans and white t-shirt. A true eccentric crooner who will continue to surprise us!
