Samoylova Barred from Balenciaga in Paris
Samoylova was refused entry to Balenciaga’s Paris show after security declared her ticket invalid.
Oksana Samoylova’s name keeps appearing among the most discussed figures in channels and public groups devoted to high society. This time Dzhigan’s wife was refused entry to the Balenciaga show in Paris. Despite her love of designer pieces, Samoylova had not been a fixture of the fashion crowd, but this autumn she attended several fashion shows with model friends and unexpectedly found herself at the centre of a scandal. Here are the details.
There Were Disputes
All the celebs wanted to get into the Balenciaga show (fashion-house event) — the brand had a new creative director. Demna Gvasalia was replaced by Pierpaolo Piccioli, who worked for many years with Valentino. Everyone wanted to see the refreshed Balenciaga, and Oksana was no exception. The mother of several children wore an eye‑catching bodysuit, high over‑the‑knee boots and dark glasses, but she never made it to the runway.
The door was slammed in front of the Russian blogger in full view of Ksenia Sobchak. The journalist reported that security checked Oksana’s invitation for a long time; there were arguments, and then she was not allowed inside when organisers declared the ticket counterfeit.
«I bought the invitation for eight thousand euros (about 772,000 rubles — ≈$8,600 at current rates), but apparently I was deceived, and the organisers didn’t let me in — that’s the whole story», Samoylova admitted to the journalist.
Credit to Oksana — she reacted with dignity and self‑irony. She joked that she had been mistaken for Kim Kardashian: in a total‑black outfit Samoylova did indeed resemble Demna Gvasalia’s muse.
«Eyes Without a Smile»
Samoylova has been in Europe for more than two weeks: she flew to Paris after Milan. The blogger was absent from social networks for a long time, causing concern — followers wondered where she had gone. Rumours say Samoylova has had a serious rift with her husband.
The Telegram channel Madonna Moor added fuel to the fire, writing: «It seems Oksana Samoylova’s fashion activity is not without reason. They say she has a serious rift with her husband this time. She’s spending the crisis in Paris, Milan, while Dzhiga waits in Moscow with the children. But whether he will wait — that’s a big question. Sources are even talking about an impending divorce».
Followers quickly picked up the idea. Some thought that behind Samoylova’s bold looks there is anxiety.
«Did I miss something? Or did Dzhigan mess up again?» — a user asked.
«Her gaze has changed completely. It used to shine, and now it seems empty», a commenter wrote.
«Paris, shows, outfits — it’s all beautiful, but you can’t buy happiness», «It looks like she simply left to catch her breath. It feels like she’s tired», a follower commented.
Dzhigan on the Pink Carpet
Meanwhile in Moscow Dzhigan continues to attend social events. Recently he appeared at an event hosted by RU.TV (a Russian music television channel), walking the pink carpet with his son David — both opted for relaxed, matching looks. Asked by reporters about his wife, the artist replied tersely that Oksana had travelled for work.
Attentive followers noticed a jab at her husband in Oksana’s Instagram Stories. The mother of several children photographed two fathers sitting in a café with their children, captioning the image: «I think women now understand why that moved me so much. In my world that didn’t happen».
Many took this as a hint that Dzhigan had not helped her with childcare, despite his caring‑father image on social media. Afterwards Oksana posted a series of shots showing different sides of her life: in one — a striking lady in a black dress, in another — a tired woman in home clothes, and in a third — a revealing image in silk lingerie.
«I simply allow myself to be different», Samoylova declared.
Followers are convinced that Oksana’s behaviour indicates the blogger is re‑evaluating her life.
Where Did the Goat Go?
Many remember that the Dzhigan–Samoylova family kept a goat named Mimi, whom Oksana loved to dress in branded outfits. The whole country followed (and envied) the animal’s living conditions, but at some point the goat disappeared from view.
The family’s goat Mimi died in late 2024; a new Mimi currently lives on a farm.
It turned out that Mimi died in November 2024 after overeating clover. In March 2025, after a period in which Mimi vanished from social media, Oksana Samoylova announced they had a new goat, which she again named Mimi. In May she said the animal was living on a farm because of renovations at their house, and that she would soon bring her back.
The show‑business world doesn’t sleep: here are other events that happened in recent days. Madonna fell into a coma, and Gleb Kalyuzhny left the army straight onto the red carpet.
