The front row at the Chanel Fall/Winter 2026 show was nothing short of star-studded, bringing together an impressive lineup of global celebrities at the Grand Palais.
Among those seated at the coveted front row were Margot Robbie, British singer Olivia Dean, actress and longtime Chanel muse Lily-Rose Depp, pop icon Kylie Minogue, rising Korean actress Go Yoon-jung, and BLACKPINK star Jennie Kim. The mix of Hollywood stars, music icons, and Asian talents underscored Chanel’s global influence, with the celebrity-packed audience drawing nearly as much attention as the runway itself.
The show also marked another major moment for Chanel’s creative direction under Matthieu Blazy, who presented his Fall 2026 ready-to-wear collection for the French house. The designer delivered fresh interpretations of Chanel’s heritage, reworking the label’s iconic tweeds and skirt suits with modern silhouettes and subtle experimentation while maintaining the elegance that defines the brand.
Adding to the spectacle, the runway transformed the Grand Palais into an unexpected setting: a chic construction zone. Towering, brightly colored cranes loomed above the runway, creating a playful industrial backdrop that contrasted with the refined tailoring on display. The bold staging mirrored the spirit of the collection itself—classic Chanel codes reimagined with new energy for a contemporary audience.
