Jisoo brings polka dots and ruffles to Dior's Los Angeles show

Jisoo turned Dior’s Los Angeles Cruise 2027 show into a moodboard for the house’s next chapter. Her front-row look leaned into polka dots, ruffles and scalloped edges, a feminine, finely detailed combination that gave Jonathan Anderson’s first Cruise collection for Dior a softer, more playful edge.

That mattered because the setting was already loaded with meaning. Dior staged the presentation on May 13, 2026 at 7:45 p.m. Los Angeles time at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, against the new David Geffen Galleries building designed by Peter Zumthor. The location placed the brand squarely in Hollywood territory, and Dior has been building toward that moment for years, from its longstanding relationship with actresses on the Oscar circuit to the 2025 opening of its Rodeo Drive flagship.

Jisoo’s appearance carried extra weight because she is one of Dior’s most visible ambassadors for fashion and beauty. In the house’s Lady Dior campaign language, she is cast as embodying a modern femininity of power, delicacy and sensitivity, and her look in Los Angeles played directly into that brief. Instead of hard-edged glamour, she brought texture and sweetness: the kind of dressing that reads polished on a red carpet but still feels easy enough to wear, especially when cut with small decorative details rather than heavy embellishment.

The front row reinforced the show’s star power. WWD said Jisoo reunited with fellow Dior ambassador Anya Taylor-Joy, and the two embraced and chatted as cameras flashed. The guest list also included Sabrina Carpenter, Miley Cyrus, Greta Lee, Jeff Goldblum, Al Pacino, Tracee Ellis Ross, Lauren Hutton, Eileen Gu, Miranda Kerr and Macaulay Culkin, a lineup that made the evening feel less like a traditional runway and more like a carefully cast cultural event.

That is exactly the point of a destination show like this one. Dior was not only unveiling Anderson’s first Cruise collection for the house, but also signaling where it wants the conversation to go next: softer, more decorative, and still unmistakably tied to celebrity magnetism. With Gucci and Louis Vuitton both set to unveil Cruise 2027 collections in New York later in May, Dior’s Los Angeles turn looked calculated and current, using Jisoo’s look as the most immediate shorthand for a more romantic Dior.
