Zendaya has been criticised after she failed to stand up to greet Brigitte Macron at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week'Definitely Rude! Never shake someone’s hand while seated! Guess she didn’t learned that,' agreed another. 'This the first time i’m seeing for myself that gen z (no pun) really doesn’t have those basic manners anymore but what an unintentional power move to not get up,' said one more.Others pointed out that Zendaya also didn't stand when Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH the world's largest luxury goods conglomerate which owns Louis Vuitton, greeted her moments before Brigitte approached. 'Even to not get up to shake Mr Arnaults hand lol he’s owns LVMH…' pointed out one X user. 'That dude is the owner of the LVMH group thats who she should stand for he owns the whole fashion industry.''It is customary to get up to greet an older person or who has a higher status especially when they approach you. Even more so when it comes to the first lady and the man who owns the brand you represent.'Others though defended the Hollywood star, asking 'why should she stand up for her?' 'Why? Zendaya is not a foreign dignitary nor a citizen of France,' added another. 'I don’t believe in too much protocol etc… since she wasn’t introduced as the First Lady of France attending the event. What matters to me is she is polite and gave her a sweet smile. I’d rather have genuine expressions than put on facade. Because if you think about it - it’s a fashion show,' commented one fan on X.Others pointed out that Zendaya had little time to react, saying it 'looks like she was caught off guard.. no big deal'.

It’s hard to say someone has bad manners when they are don’t instantly realise who is approaching them' agreed one more. The Louis Vuitton show is the last major presentation of Paris Fashion Week, as the run of catwalks came to an end on Tuesday night. It also finalises the wider Fashion Week schedule, which has been hosted in New York, London and Milan before arriving in Paris.Zendaya looked chic in classic blue jeans with an elevated white ruffled jacket with a crop top for the VIP-packed show, which also saw actresses Emma Stone, Saoirse Ronan and Ana de Armas sitting front row.The show was hosted at the Louvre’s Cour Carrée, which is the large, perfectly symmetrical square courtyard at the eastern end of the Louvre Palace in the city. For spring/summer 2027, Vuitton’s artistic director Nicolas Ghesquiere sent out a collection steeped in historical references but still rooted in modernity. The tailoring was particularly strong, with sharp black trouser suits offset by softer looks including white and pale pink slip dresses.It was back to the Eighties when it came to the music, too, with Ghesquiere choosing Tom Jones’s cover of the 1986 Prince hit Kiss as the soundtrack to his show.
