The London Film Festival premiere of Ballad of a Small Player took place at The Royal Festival Hall, with the film’s leading stars stepping out.
A Quiet Art
Tilda Swinton gave us the red carpet debut of Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Spring 2026 collection, instantly recognisable by its bold contrast waistband and polished gold buttons. The crisp white shirt and wide-leg trousers exuded minimalist authority—intellectual, refined, and quintessentially Tilda.
Satin, Velvet, and Undeniable Grace
When Lauren Sánchez Bezos wore this same ivory satin–front, black velvet–back Schiaparelli strapless gown to the Kering Caring For Women Dinner last month, you weren’t sold. But on Fala Chen, it feels infinitely more graceful. She wears the piece with a fluid, statuesque elegance that makes the dramatic contrast read as timeless.
A Little Less Sharp Than Usual
Colin Farrell, meanwhile, appeared in a muted grey three-piece suit that lacked the energy we’ve come to expect from him. After weeks of press appearances, it seems the actor’s schedule might finally be catching up with him.
