The studio transformed the gardens of the Musée Rodin into an immersive exhibition celebrating the distinctive style and visual identity of the series. Titled Elegance Is Authority: The Story, Style and Power of Panem, the event showcased the costumes, fashion influences and striking aesthetics that have helped define the series over the years.
The dramatic gown featured a structured metallic bodice with delicate detailing and a tulle white skirt, echoing the silhouette made famous in the 2013 film. Grace's look was designed by Monique Lhuillier and Michael Ngo, drawing inspiration from the original costume created by Indonesian designer Tex Saverio.

Grace was joined by co-star Joseph Zada, who portrays a young Haymitch Abernathy in the upcoming prequel. Dressed in an ERL suit complemented by a Tiffany & Co. brooch, the pair greeted guests and discussed the importance of costume design in shaping the story and characters of Panem.

Sunrise on the Reaping takes audiences back to the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. Set decades before Katniss Everdeen's story, the film explores a period when the Capitol's influence and spectacle were at their height, while early signs of resistance were beginning to emerge.
The film is made up of an impressive cast, including Elle Fanning, Jesse Plemons, Glenn Close, Maya Hawke, Iris Apatow and Ralph Fiennes.
With the film's release drawing nearer, the Paris exhibition reminds fans to mark off their calendars for November 20.
