Instead of the usual gowns and dresses that dominate Paris Couture Week, Viktor and Rolf opted for swimwear this year, showcasing their distinctive approach to fashion.

A number of models sported swimwear that was accompanied by figurines of men in tuxedos without heads, perched on the models' shoulders; while others were draped around their torsos.

Viktor and Rolf also incorporated the popular Gen-Z phrase that gained prominence after Gwyneth Paltrow's skiing accident trial.

Viktor and Rolf didn't miss the opportunity to feature their iconic word "NO" in the collection. Shakira also wore a white dress with the word "NO" during the show.

Some of the looks were also references to the previous season's sensational, gravity-defying dresses.

Another bizarre piece was this three-layer bikini, which was also giving the oversized yet gravity-defying look.

The show also showcased several pieces that played with the length and proportion of the swimsuits.
