One accessory stole the show: a giant pearl handbag, appearing across multiple looks and drawing instant snapping. Alongside the monochromatic elegance, there were flashes of colour — red tweed, bright silk linings, and surrealist layering, an echo of Karl Lagerfeld’s high-energy collections.
FASHION ROYALTY & HOLLYWOOD POWER
The front row was a mix of fashion royalty and Hollywood power, with Naomi Campbell, Riley Keough and Charlotte Casiraghi leading the pack. Actresses Dakota Fanning and Simone Ashley also made an appearance, alongside music sensations Raye and AP Dhillon, proving Chanel’s ability to captivate across generations and cultures.
NAOMI CAMPBELL ON A LEGACY OF DIVERSITY
In an interview with The Associated Press, Naomi Campbell, a longtime Chanel icon, reflected on the show’s nostalgic 90s influences. “I love the artisan, the workmanship. They go back and look into the history of the DNA of the brand — that’s what they think of first and foremost. And then they create it, but with that twist on it. This show for me had a lot of things that reminded me of the 90s, and I loved the silhouettes, the skirt, the jacket, the skirt and pants together. Everything was very wearable.”
