Balmain has found someone — to slay the Paris runway.

Cher stunned an audience of fashionistas at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday with a gasp-worthy surprise appearance at the Balmain show.

Looking as stunning as ever, the pop goddess closed the French luxury house’s ready-to-wear spring/summer 2023 show by walking the runway alongside its creative director, Olivier Rousteing — while her 1998 anthem “Strong Enough” blasted through the speakers.

Wearing a black spandex bodysuit — which featured a plunging neckline and futuristic shoulder pads — as well as shiny black leggings and some serious black platform boots, the Grammy-winning singer and Oscar-winning actress was all smiles as she walked triumphantly among the fashion elite.

In what British Vogue called “the best celebrity moment of fashion month,” Cher, 76, and Rousteing, 37, held hands, kissed, and waved as the audience of nearly 8,000 people at the Stade Jean-Bouin stadium, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, applauded and screamed in apparent disbelief.

Later on Wednesday — and in typical Cher’s all-caps-style — the “I Found Someone” singer took to Twitter to tell her more than 4 million followers about the experience.

“Just had best time, on stage… Felt great!! Show was probably best fashion show “ever”!! Models were beauty from another universe,” she wrote, peppering her message with colorful emojis.

“Clothes 2 die 4… Olivier 2 die 4!! Stage was calling me Cher…… Oh Cher…..Come home…. I HEAR YOU” she added.

“Cher has been a daring pioneer, a true trailblazer, for over six decades, never slowing down, always pulling us along with her, as she courageously marches forward,” Rousteing said, speaking with Women’s Wear Daily about his special guest.

“‘Style icon’ doesn’t come close to describing her achievement of defining more than a half-century’s worth of fashion trends,” he added. “And, in this challenging age that compels us to fight for long-overdue changes, her impressive, long-term commitment to dedicated activism is an example to all.”
