Lamy, the longtime creative muse and business partner of Owens, 57, sported her signature gold-plated teeth and an edgy all-black ensemble that consisted of leather, sequins, over-the-knee boots and plenty of accessories (including a gold horned headpiece!).

“A new statement accessory trend has been spotted in Paris. Michèle Lamy, wife of the American designer Rick Owens, cradled a replica of her husband’s head on the front row of his fall collection runway show on Thursday,” the outlet captioned the post. “It was — in fact — a handbag, in which she was keeping her phone, money and cigarettes.”
Lamy’s choice received mixed reviews in the comment section, with some social media users calling her gothic style “legendary” and chic,” while others found the piece “super creepy” and “morbid.”
“That is terrifying,” one user commented. Another wrote, “How ridiculous.”
“Craziness! I remember Jared Leto walking with his “double’s” head…” another added, referencing the Oscar winning actor’s unforgettable red carpet moment.
At the 2019 Met Gala, Leto paired hisstatement accessorywith a Gucci long-sleeve silk red gown that had diamond-encrusted details along the bodice. Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele first debuted the head clutches during Milan Fashion Week in February 2019, a few months before the Met Gala.

Nearly six months later, theSuicide Squadstar, 48,revealed that the wax-like decapitated head had gone missing.
“Honestly, I have no idea,” Leto toldGQwhen asked what happened to the Gucci design. “I think someone may have stolen it.”
Leto then hilariously urged anyone who may know of the head’s whereabouts to “bring it into your nearest Gucci store in exchange for a pair of dirty sneakers.”
