See how the renowned interior designer gets ready ahead of the Dior Spring/Summer 2024 show during Paris Fashion Week.&nbsp;

Even for those outside of the interior design world, the name <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/travel-living/kelly-wearstler-interior-designer-malibu-los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kelly Wearstler</a> has instant recognition&mdash;a feat that isn't easy to achieve in an industry where such well-known names rarely catch mainstream attention. A celebrity in her own right, the designer joins all of our other favorite A-listers currently in attendance at Paris Fashion Week. On Tuesday, she enjoyed the fashion-filled affair fronting the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/dior-spring-summer-2024-paris-fashion-week-runway-images" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dior Spring/Summer 2024 show</a>.
From showcasing her Dior dress to her Dior Beauty makeup look, Wearstler gives L'OFFICIEL an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how she prepared for the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/francis-kurkdjian-dior-signature-scent-lor-de-jadore-perfume-fragrance" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dior</a> runway show. She also shares her favorite Dior moments and how she bridges the gap between fashion and design in her work.

L'OFFICIEL: How does Dior fit into your personal style?
Kelly Wearstler: I express boldness with my wardrobe in a way that Dior captures. I&rsquo;m drawn to strong silhouettes &ndash; I like to experiment with unconventional layering and shapes, and I respond to clothes that tell a story and mix historical references with a contemporary attitude. 
L'O: How do you incorporate fashion into your design work? Or design elements into your style?
KW: I find that embracing dichotomies in both interiors and dressing puts creativity at the forefront. I believe you can find synchronicity within two seemingly opposing elements &ndash; old and new, masculine and feminine, raw and refined. 
L'O: If you could relive any Dior designer era, what would it be?
KW: Today is about the power of the female and the confidence of the Dior woman is so inspiring to me.

L'O: How was the Dior show? What were some of your favorite moments/looks?
KW: The show was amazing and very sexy. It was feminine but there was a cool factor. I loved the sheer and the structured silhouettes, and the shoes and boots.
 L'O: Who&rsquo;s the most interesting person you&rsquo;ve met during fashion week?
KW: Daytona Williams, [founder of] Neptune Papers. Meeting him in person.
 L'O: If your phone died in the middle of fashion week, what would you do?
KW: I&rsquo;d be at the closest Apple store.

L'O: Have you ever had a celebrity encounter that left you starstruck?
KW: When I met [architect and designer] Phillippe Starck in Milan. 
L'O: What&rsquo;s a fashion trend that you regret trying?
KW: I don&rsquo;t regret &ndash; it&rsquo;s all about experimentation. 
L'O: Finish this sentence: No look is complete without 
KW: A pair of shades.
