Australian fashion influencer Elle Ferguson was left heartbroken on Tuesday after she was locked out of Paris Fashion Week.

The former Block star, 40, shared a video to social media showing her streaming the  Miu Miu show on her iPhone from the backseat of a car.

‘We’re still in traffic. So sad we missed the show,’ she captioned the footage, before adding: ‘We are live-streaming from the car.’

Fortunately, Elle eventually made it to the invite-only event and later shared a series of glamorous photos of herself stepping out of her car and heading into the venue.

‘Living in a Miu Miu dream where I’m in Paris wearing sparkly socks and attending the SS26 show,’ she wrote next to the photos.

It comes after Elle responded to the heavy backlash she copped after making the ultimate fashion faux pas when modelling a very revealing dress by Spanish fashion house Loewe.

After the former Block star shared an Instagram video of herself wearing the frock in August, many of her followers said the designer ensemble looked ‘unflattering’, ‘uncomfortable’ and ‘hideous’.

She defended her viral sartorial moment, calling the piece the ‘most beautiful dress’.

‘The only thing I was thinking when I put this dress on is I was exceptionally lucky to be looking at Jonathan Anderson’s last collection with Loewe,’ Elle told The Daily Telegraph.

She added that she had been looking forward to trying on the dress and when she found out it was in Sydney, the opportunity to try it on made her feel very special.

‘I loved that dress. I still love that dress. I put it on and stood there proudly,’ she said, adding that her fiancé Joel Patful loved it too.

Elle went on to remind her fans that art is subjective and shouldn’t be used as a way to criticise people.

‘Art starts conversations. But I don’t think there’s any place for negative comments or tearing a woman down for wearing a dress,’ she said.

The frock, which is part of luxury fashion house Loewe’s Fall 2025 collection, features a plunging neckline and peplum-layered design around the waist.

‘All I can say is THE LILAC @loewe dress is even better in real life. Such a dream to experience @jonathan.anderson last collection in real life and get to play dress-ups with the collection. Big thanks to the incredible #loewe team and @mcm_pr,’ she wrote.

Elle’s fans flocked to the comments to slam her ‘hideous’ look, with many insisting the dress didn’t complement her figure.

‘Different isn’t always flattering. And I’m talking about the dress not you. This dress wouldn’t be flattering on anyone as it is,’ one person wrote.

However some praised the daring look, with one writing: ‘You are the full model vibe. Give this girl a catwalk.’

Despite the divide in opinion over the dress, Elle found a silver lining behind the viral post.

The influencer told Sunday Confidential that her Instagram engagement had soared ‘through the roof’ recently, garnering 8.2 million views in 30 days.
