Cheerleading Headlines Louboutin’s Spring 2026 Fashion Show

PARIS — Christian Louboutin featured cheerleading during its Loubi Show VI, held at Dojo Arena during Paris Fashion Week.

For Spring/Summer 2026, the designer collaborated with director David LaChapelle and choreographer Blanca Li to stage a five-act fashion performance set in a venue transformed to resemble an American football stadium.

The show featured live performances from cheerleaders, baton twirlers, and dancers portraying rival football teams. A mascot resembling a seahorse, Louboutin’s favorite animal, also appeared during the event.

Cheerleaders were part of multiple acts, performing in stylized formations on the stadium floor while wearing Louboutin’s Cassia footwear—ballet-inspired heels designed for movement.

The production opened with the Paris Fire Brigade marching band performing live renditions of pop songs including Britney Spears’ “Toxic” and The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army.” French singer Milo Thoretton, known as Asphalt, followed with three songs performed in French while portraying a high school character.

The show’s finale featured dancers performing atop a sculpted cake while wearing crystal-covered Ballerina Ultima heels, originally designed by Louboutin in 2007 and inspired by a ballerina’s en pointe stance.

Loubi Show VI follows Louboutin’s previous collaboration with LaChapelle and Li, which featured the French Olympic artistic swimming team in a water ballet concept. This season’s show marked the first time the trio based the entire visual theme on cheerleading and American-style homecoming and game day performances.
