Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, and Margot Robbie Shine at Chanel’s Latest Show
Paris Fashion Week attracted a star-studded crowd, showcasing one of the highlights of the fashion calendar—the Chanel show. This event marked a significant transition for the iconic French brand, as Matthieu Blazy debuted as the new creative director.
H2: A New Chapter for Chanel
Blazy took charge of Chanel’s creative direction in December, succeeding Virginie Viard, who stepped into the role after the passing of the legendary Karl Lagerfeld in 2019.
H3: Celebrity Highlights
Among the attendees, Australian actress Nicole Kidman made waves, arriving with her daughters, Sunday, 17, and Faith, 14, just a week after announcing her split from husband Keith Urban after nearly two decades. Kidman sported an oversized white shirt at the spring/summer 2026 showcase held at the Grand Palais, a venue familiar to both Lagerfeld and Viard.
Margot Robbie, known for her role in Barbie, captivated the audience in a coordinated navy tracksuit ensemble paired with a bikini top. Meanwhile, Pedro Pascal from Materialists kept it stylish yet understated with a navy jumper and sleek black bag, accessorizing with a green emerald ring and stylish shades.
H3: Supermodel Presence
The runway was graced by some of the world’s most renowned supermodels. Naomi Campbell, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Kendall Jenner were among the stars commanding attention. Campbell, at 55, dazzled in a classic white outfit, while the 29-year-old Jenner opted for a chic black skirt suit.
Other notable guests included Penelope Cruz, Lily-Rose Depp, British actress Michaela Coel, and business magnate Jeff Bezos, who attended with his new wife, Lauren Sanchez.
H2: Showcasing Innovative Designs
The atmosphere of the catwalk was astonishing, set in a dimly lit room with celestial elements. Blazy’s collection featured oversized and relaxed suits, boxy tailoring, and the reemergence of A-line skirts, all offering a highly wearable style.
H3: Fashion Inspirations
Models showcased designs inspired by the 1920s, featuring drop-waisted silhouettes and vintage-style long jewelry. At the same time, there were recognitions of traditional Chanel elements, seen in structured coats and classic tweed skirt suits.
Looking ahead, expect red carpet moments highlighting embroidered gowns and intricately feathered ball gowns. However, the oversized feathered headdresses may be less likely to achieve mainstream popularity.
