So, of course, anyone from the fashion world rejoices every time she comes out of retirement and graces a runway show.

At the Balmain RTW Spring 2025 show during Paris Fashion Week , for instance, she did just that. As a surprise to the audience, Porizkova closed out the Sept. 25 show at Palais de Chaillot.

For the appearance, Porizkova wore a muted pink two-piece set with a daring cleavage and a thigh-high slit on one side. As for her glam, her hair was straightened and parted in the middle while her makeup looked fresh and natural.

Luckily for viewers, this wasn’t a traditional runway walk either – Porizkova really had fun with it! Porizkova walked the carpet to the rhythm of the song and raised both her arms to the music before being hugged by Balmain’s creative director Olivier Rousteing (see the full video HERE! ). Per The New York Times , she “strutted her way down the runway egging on the crowd with great delight.”

She and Rousteing then continued down the runway together and clapped in unison. A true celebration of fashion legends!

Prior to her surprise Balmain appearance, Porizkova shared on social media some snippets of her trip to Paris with her boyfriend, Jeff Greenstein .

“Saturday in Marche Au Puce – Paris. I’ve ALWAYS so wanted to visit the little cafe that belonged to Django Reinhardt and where he and his buddies played just for the joy of it,” Porizkova shared on Instagram alongside a video of them enjoying some jazz music.

“And we got to finally do that!” she continued. “And shot this just before we discovered there are huge signs everywhere telling you there is no filming or photography permitted. But oh what fun! Open only on Saturdays, with absolutely amazing musicians playing all day.”

Looks like Porizkova had a blast in Paris, both on and off the runways!
