The front row was star-studded, featuring Nicole Kidman with her daughters Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret, Margot Robbie, Penélope Cruz, Ayo Edebiri, and Pedro Pascal. The show unfolded under the “Chanel Universe” planetarium, with gigantic reflective spheres on the glossy floor creating the illusion of outer space.

Blazy’s collection blended masculine and feminine elements: checked suits with cropped blazers, menswear shirts paired with evening gowns, and silk outfits in a graphic palette of beige, white, and black. Inspiration was drawn from the house’s archives, from Coco Chanel’s cherished talismans to her habit of wearing pieces of her lover Arthur “Boy” Capel.

Tweed, coats, and the iconic 2.55 bag were highlighted, with Blazy experimenting with textures, chains, and colors to evoke “clothing with a history” passed down through generations. Footwear featured a soft, two-toned interpretation inspired by chocolate praline.

“We all look at the same sky. We all see the stars. Fashion should be beautiful, universal, and pleasant,” Blazy said, closing the show with model Awar Odhiang in a silk tee with a back slit and a voluminous floral skirt.

The show served as a cosmic reboot for Chanel, signaling that the brand is poised for new cultural and creative heights.
