Lorde and Kanye West strike a pose at Paris Fashion Week

NO, THAT’S not Kim K hanging off Kanye’s arm at the Christian Dior show. It’s Lorde, with a matching pout and outfit.

IT DOESN’T get much more “fashion” than this.

Kanye West and Lorde have been snapped outside the Dior show at Paris Fashion Week, looking fierce and fabulous is matching navy hues.

While the musical pair didn’t arrive together, rumour has it that photographers confused Lorde for Kim K, who they momentarily thought had died her hair back to brown.

While we’re not quite sure why Kanye decided to wear a hoodie to a fashion show, we think Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette - who, yes, has his own twitter account - might be on to something:

In all fairness, it’s not unusual that Kanye and Lorde stopped for a chat — they do have a bit of a musical history. Lorde curated the latest Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack, which features a Kanye West-remixed version of her song Flicker.

Kayne and Lorde soon shifted from the pavement to the front row for the garden-themed Dior show, along with Fifty Shades Of Grey actress Dakota Johnson, actress Hailee Steinfeld and fashion identity Miroslava Duma.

As thigh-high boots, fur coats, tropical colours and lots of leather strutted down the runway, director Raf Simons told AFP that he “wanted the collection to deal with ... something more liberated, darker and more sexual.”

So where was Kim while all this was going on? Exploring the streets of Paris donned in fur, of course!
