Ridzman Zidaine has done it again. The 23-year-old Malaysian was the first model to walk the Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2024 runway at Paris Fashion Week.

Back in November last year, Ridzman became the first Malaysian model in history to open for Louis Vuitton.

The opening model is often seen as setting the tone and mood of a fashion show. This position is reserved for a top or well-known face.

The Louis Vuitton menswear fashion shows are a big deal in the industry currently, with renowned musician Pharrell Williams as its men's creative director.

Williams' fashion shows draw in star-studded crowds. Last year's event saw Beyonce and Jay-Z in attendance, and this time, it was LeBron James who headlined the front-row.
