The fashion world eagerly awaits Mathieu Blazy's arrival as Chanel's new creative director in April 2025. However, before his official debut in October, the atelier’s design team presented their final major showcase on March 11. The event marked the last presentation of the current design team and featured an array of A-list celebrities who graced the runway and red carpet. Held on the final day of Paris Fashion Week at the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées, the Fall/Winter 2025 show celebrated timeless Chanel classics like tweed suits and little black dresses. Notable attendees included Dakota Fanning, Camila Cabello, Jessica Alba, and other fashion icons, all donning pieces from the brand's Pre-Fall 2025 collection.
The grand finale of the atelier’s design team was nothing short of spectacular. As the curtains closed on this era, the iconic Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées played host to a dazzling lineup of stars. Celebrities arrived in ensembles that showcased the essence of Chanel. Dakota Fanning, a long-time supporter of the brand, made heads turn with her shimmering metallic ensemble from the Pre-Fall 2025 line. Her outfit included a blazer and culottes, complemented by platform pumps and a quilted top-handle bag. This choice reflected both elegance and modernity, setting the tone for the evening.
Camila Cabello followed suit with a chic tweed blazer and matching trousers, also from the Pre-Fall 2025 collection. Her look was completed with a micro-mini Chanel clutch, adding a touch of contemporary flair. Jessica Alba, another fan favorite, opted for a tweed skirt set that perfectly captured the brand’s signature style. Each star brought their unique interpretation of Chanel’s timeless designs, creating a memorable spectacle. Simone Ashley, known for her role in "Bridgerton," wore a cropped tweed jacket and mini skirt, proving she is a rising star in the fashion world. Meanwhile, Raye made her first appearance at a Chanel show in a peplum-shaped jacket and flared mini skirt, while Riley Keough stunned in a black-and-white skirt set from the same collection.
The night wouldn’t have been complete without Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of Vogue, who effortlessly mixed patterns in a crystal-embellished jacket, tweed maxi skirt, and snakeskin-inspired boots. Each attendee’s attire highlighted the versatility and enduring appeal of Chanel’s designs. The event served as a fitting tribute to the atelier’s design team, setting the stage for Mathieu Blazy’s exciting new chapter at Chanel. Fans are already looking forward to seeing how the designer will reinterpret the brand’s legacy when he unveils his first collection in October.
