Balenciaga had planned to unveil its Spring '25 show on May 30 at the Museum of Art Pudong in Shanghai. During the rehearsal the day before, the outdoor runway on the terrace of the museum along the Huangpu River offered a view of Shanghai's now iconic skyline, bathed in the glow of the setting sun. However, nature had other plans, as rain fell on Thursday evening. With the sunset obscured, 800 guests flown in from around the world had to wait in the museum lobby for the rain to stop, or for a Plan B. The rain did not stop, and there was no Plan B. After a delay of about half an hour, everyone entered the venue with umbrellas in hand, including Sophie Marceau and Michelle Yeoh. To the soundtrack by BFRND, models walked through the rain.
