Dior, Junya Watanabe, and Kenzo are just a few of the presentations Pharrell has been spotted at this week.

Paris Fashion Week has seen many of the biggest names in hip-hop take over France in style this month. Of course, none of them are doing it quite like Pharrell. The Virginia-born creative was actually one of the main events earlier in the week as he made his debut as the menswear designer of Louis Vuitton on June 20. As expected, the collection has been receiving rave reviews so far. However, internet trolls are comparing some of the looks to Minecraft characters due to their pixel patterning.

In the days since proudly unveiling his first collection, Pharrell has been spotted supporting various other designers at their runways. His longtime friend Nigo impressed with his work at the Kenzo show. As High Snobiety notes, he's also been photographed at Junya Watanabe and Dior's presentation. The producer's wife, Helen Lasichanh, was by his side (cooly dressed and looking naturally radiant), and his eldest son, Rocket Williams, joined them to see Kim Jones' latest work.

Pharrell's Bright Yellow Bag is Worth a Reported $1M

In many photos, Pharrell has been carrying with him a bright yellow, monogrammed Louis Vuitton Speedy bag – one of the standout pieces from his collection. It's a good thing it's so attention-grabbing, seeing as it's worth an estimated $1 million.

It's been nicknamed the "Millionaire" bag, and has such a hefty price tag because it's "cut from crocodile leather and affixed with both a chunky gold chain and diamond padlock, all handmade in one of LV's fairly young leather ateliers."
