Is it even couture week without a splashy Chanel show? This morning in Paris, Matthieu Blazy unveiled his latest couture collection for the historic French label—and his fall 2026 assortment had plenty to offer. Along with the designer’s fresh takes on tweed suiting and hand-crafted gowns, the star-studded front row served as its very own buzzy fashion spectacle. (Star-spotting, after all, is half the fun of a fashion week.)
In the eclectic crowd? Celebrities such as Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon, Teyana Taylor, Cole Escola, Pedro Pascal, and Lupita Nyong’o all arrived at Le Grand Palais in style to behold Blazy’s latest creations. Well-clad athletes, including Algerian boxer Imane Khelif and British runner Dina Asher-Smith, also mingled with the Hollywood elite.
Better yet, they all donned their finest Chanel ensembles for the occasion. Given that the show leaned into a fairy-tale-inspired sensibility, the A-listers in attendance couldn’t help but slip into their very own dreamy looks. Pascal’s chic over-the-shoulder knit! Taylor’s denim-effect sequins! Needless to say, they all could have easily walked the runway themselves.
Wish you could have seen all the buzzy stars in person? Us too. But for the next best thing, photographer German Larkin documented the buzzy front row up close and personal. Below, see all of the stars from Chanel’s fall 2026 couture show.
