He’s known for his bold fashion choices and Elton John didn’t disappoint as he sat front row at the Valentino Haute Couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday. 

The legendary musician, 77, put on a stylish display as he opted for a bold blue pair of glasses as he beamed in snaps. 

The Rocketman hitmaker wore a black and white polka dot shirt underneath a smart black blazer. 

He looked well as he accessorised the look with white and pink pearl necklace and bright red trainers as he sat beside his husband David Furnish. 

It comes after the singer opened up about losing his eyesight after an infection and revealed that as a result he can’t see, read or watch anything. 

David, 62, looked smart in a grey checked suit and pale blue shirt as the pair prepared to watch the show. 

Also in attendance was Kate Moss‘ ex boyfriend Count Nikolai Von Bismarck, however the supermodel was nowhere to be seen. 

It was revealed in December that the model, 50, is said to have finally called it quits with Nikolai, 37, after nine years together. 

Seated next to American writer Derek Blasberg, Nikolai kept it casual in a pale pink and blue striped shirt and black blazer. 

Nick Cave and his wife Susie also posed up a storm together as the musician looked rather dapper in a black suit, tie and white shirt. 

Meanwhile fashion designer Susie, 58, made sure all eyes were on her in black wrap dress adorned with sparkly purple and green thistles. 

Completing the look with black lace gloves and matching tights, she added a quirky slip on green shoe and silver sparkly bow clip. 

Annie Lennox’s daughter Tali opted for a plunging cream floaty blouse and matching skirt as she flashed a hint of cleavage in the ensemble. 

The model, 31, completed the look with long black plaited pigtails as she struck a serious expression on the front row. 

Elton’s outing comes after he celebrated his ninth Official Number 1 album with his album Diamonds.

A chart staple since its release in 2017, the 77-year-old music legend’s career-spanning hits collection finally surged to the summit in its 374th week on chart.

The record was bolstered by limited edition releases across brand-new formats, including cassette for the first time.

The Pinner-born star’s latest compilation debuted at Number 5 in its opening week back in 2017 and went on to peak at Number 2. 

It hasn’t left the Official Albums Chart Top 100 since its release, and far and away boasts more weeks on chart than any other Elton LP.

Moreover, Diamonds claims the most consecutive weeks inside the Official Albums Chart Top 40 ever and claims the most weeks inside the Top 40 before reaching that coveted Number 1 spot.

Diamonds now joins Don’t Shoot Me I’m Only The Piano Player (1973), Goodbye Yellow Brick Road (1973), Caribou (1974), Elton John’s Greatest Hits (1974), Sleeping With The Past (1989), The Very Best Of Elton John (1990), collaborative PNAU record Good Morning To The Night (2012) and The Lockdown Sessions (2021) in Elton’s tally of UK chart-toppers. 

It also comes amid his health struggles with his eyesight, which he first lifted the lid on in September 2024.

Elton appeared on Good Morning America alongside his husband David in December to chat with Robin Roberts about his life, career and the personal challenges featured in his new documentary.

Speaking in the interview, the music legend explained: ‘I unfortunately lost my eyesight in my right eye in July because I had an infection in the South of France and it’s been four months now since I haven’t been able to see.

‘And my left eye is not the greatest, so. There’s hope and encouragement that it will be okay and we’re taking an intiative to try and get it better. At the moment that’s really what we’re concentrating on.’

When asked to elaborate on his current health to put fans worried at ease, Sir Elton quipped: ‘David and I always have our blood tests every six months in Los Angeles. Our health has never been better.

‘It’s never fortunate for anything like this to happen. I can’t see anything, I can’t read anything, I can’t watch anything.’

The hitmaker, who played his final shows last summer, revealed his eyesight issues in September.

He took to his Instagram with a lengthy post, explaining how he spent the past few months ‘recuperating at home.’

Elton wrote: ‘Over the summer, I’ve been dealing with a severe eye infection that has unfortunately left me with only limited vision in one eye.

‘I am healing, but it’s an extremely slow process and it will take some time before sight returns to the impacted eye.

‘I am so grateful for the excellent team of doctors and nurses and my family, who have taken such good care of me over the last several weeks.’

Elton concluded: ‘I have been quietly spending the summer recuperating at home, and am feeling positive about the progress I have made in my healing and recovery thus far.’

And his health battles have undermined any new music from the star.

Elsewhere in the interview, he said: ‘I can do something like this, but going into the studio and recording I don’t know, because I can’t see a lyric for a start.

‘We’re taking an initiative to try and get it better, but at the moment that’s really what we’re concentrating on.’
