THE RUNDOWN:
- This morning, Chanel presented its studio-designed fall 2025 couture show.
- The collection followed a neutral palette of black and white, elevated by metallic accents and luxe embellishments.
- The front row was filled with It girls, including Lorde, Gracie Abrams, Laufey, and the Coppola-Mars family.
Haute couture is officially underway, and that can only mean one thing: celebrities have flocked to Paris to show up and show out. From Cardi B’s live crow at Schiaparelli to Iris Van Herpen’s bioluminescent algae, the week has been filled with fashion’s best, whether it be VIP looks, design tricks, or pure craftsmanship. At Chanel couture this morning, ambassadors and friends of the house, including It girls across all generations, turned up in droves to celebrate the final studio-designed collection before Matthieu Blazy’s debut in the fall.
Gracie Abrams channels It girl bridal.
Upon entering the venue, Lorde and Gracie Abrams were spotted hugging before joining singer Laufey and actress Havana Rose Liu at their seats. The pop stars were the embodiment of two sides of the same coin. Lorde sported a simple black scoop-neck dress, which she accessorized with a Chanel arm cuff, an incredibly chic anklet (already shaping up as summer’s It accessory), and charm-embellished shoes, all styled by powerhouse Taylor McNeill (whom you can also thank for Timothée Chalamet’s sartorial renaissance). The minimalism paired beautifully with the collection, which added excitement through fringed textures and contrasting materials. Meanwhile, Abrams was a vision in white in a tiered minidress with crystal embellishments on each hem. The look was complemented by a subtle veil, making her the front row “bride” for the occasion. The dress was also reminiscent of her chiffon hooded Chanel look at the 2025 Grammys.

The star power didn’t stop there. Also in attendance were longtime ambassadors and friends Keira Knightley, Penélope Cruz, and Kirsten Dunst. For Sofia Coppola, the event was a family affair. The director arrived hand-in-hand with her two daughters, Cosima Mars and burgeoning Gen Z pop star Romy Mars. The trio sported a perfect combo of pink and blue pastels, an idyllic palette for the Parisian summer.
