- Rousteing will stage his first show for the House at Paris Fashion Week in March 2027. "Joining Rabanne is a tremendous honor," he said, citing the brand's innovation and fearless creativity.
- Since leaving Balmain, Rousteing designed the 2026 Met Gala look for Beyoncé, a custom crystal-embellished gown featuring metallic detailing that fits well within Rabanne's sculptural aesthetic.
