The stars aligned \u2014 literally and figuratively \u2014 for Matthieu Blazy\u2019s highly anticipated debut at Chanel, where a glittering galaxy of house ambassadors, from Nicole Kidman<\/a> to Ayo Edebiri<\/a>, gathered beneath a suspended solar system inside the Grand Palais.<\/p>\n The invitation promised an 8 p.m. sharp start time \u2014 unless, of course, you\u2019re one of the biggest K-pop stars on earth. The lights dimmed and the music began just as Jennie swept in at 8:13, crossing the runway to embrace fellow ambassador and seatmate Lily-Rose Depp.<\/p>\n More from WWD<\/strong><\/p>\n Then looks came out to a pulsating beat.<\/p>\n Pedro Pascal was front row to watch his sister Lux walk in the lineup.<\/p>\n The actor, who set the fashion world on fire with his daring looks during the Cannes Film Festival (or at least millions of hearts), is an accidental fashion icon.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fun to get dressed up. And I think that it really is just a matter of picking what you put on and you feel good in it. And so then that answers itself, really,\u201d he said of his style. For the evening, he was sporting a custom Chanel<\/a> sweater with a trio of double C buttons at the shoulder.<\/p>\n He declared Blazy\u2019s debut \u201cincredible.\u201d And in a way, it was less about the clothes than the plot.<\/p>\n \u201cThere was so much story to it. I feel like he\u2019s so uncompromising and that it comes from his heart in a way that I don\u2019t see from a lot of places, and that\u2019s not to say fashion, because I\u2019m really a novice,\u201d he claimed, though he masterfully cited cuts, silhouettes and past references like a pro.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s telling a story, and there\u2019s emotion behind it,\u201d he said. \u201cI just was really moved by how he weaved so many different things together so seamlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n In Paris, he spent his morning practicing cello for his role in the upcoming Tony Gilroy film \u201cHenrich.\u201d He had to find a rental cello to keep up his lessons, as he did not pack his own.<\/p>\n He has wrapped \u201cThe Mandalorian,\u201d which will be out in May, so another Cannes appearance could be in the cards.<\/p>\n For Edebiri, it was her first show as an official house ambassador \u2014 and what a day to start.<\/p>\n \u201cCan\u2019t think of a better one,\u201d she said. After the show she felt \u201cenergized and really joyful\u2026.My eyes are so happy right now.\u201d<\/p>\n Next she is off to the London Film Festival for the premiere of her film \u201cAfter the Hunt,\u201d costarring Julia Roberts. Is she going to be wearing Chanel for the red carpet? \u201cThe odds are pretty good,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n Sofia Coppola knows Chanel inside out.<\/p>\n She recently compiled a coffee table book celebrating 110 years of the house\u2019s haute couture, and has been with the house since she was a 15-year-old intern under Karl Lagerfeld.<\/p>\n So what was her take on Blazy\u2019s debut? <\/p>\n \u201cI was really curious and had a lot of anticipation coming here and I just thought it was so beautiful and different than before, but feels like Chanel and a new era,\u201d she said. The writer-director clocked her favorite pieces as the silk T-shirt dresses, plus a lot of the accessories and jewelry.<\/p>\n Next up is a film she is writing that will reunite her with Kirsten Dunst. But it\u2019s still in the early stages and she needs to get back to the keyboard. \u201cAfter all of this, I\u2019ll go be an introvert for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n The moment wasn\u2019t lost on Gracie Abrams, who reveled in the historical aspect of witnessing a changing of the fashion guard.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t believe I got to be here to watch,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was such a bold introduction to this new era, while also so clearly Chanel and I\u2019m just desperate to get on the internet and look back at all the pictures of it.\u201d<\/p>\n She identified a white dress as her favorite piece. \u201cI want that if I ever get married,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n The 26-year-old just wrapped a pretty epic, two-year world tour and is right back to work on a new album. She\u2019s signed on, along with more than 550 celebrities including Billie Eilish and Janelle Mon\u00e1e, to revive the free-speech group Committee for the First Amendment.<\/p>\n She\u2019s passionate about the issue. \u201cIt\u2019s absolutely crucial. It is the foundation of [the U.S.] to have the ability to speak your truth and speak the truth, and I think it\u2019s important to show unity in this moment when you know the current administration is doing everything in their power to make us feel like we\u2019re divided and isolated and scared.\u201d<\/p>\n With her activism and her Grammy-nominated music, Abrams was named one of Time\u2019s Most Influential Rising Stars earlier this week. \u201cIt\u2019s a total honor. I\u2019m such a deep admirer of the people who are on that list, so I feel very lucky to be in their company,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n The company inside the Grand Palais was pretty stellar too, with other guests including Tilda Swinton, Margot Robbie, Marion Cotillard, Naomi Campbell, Peggy Gou, Anamaria Vartolomei, Pedro Almodovar, Michaela Coel, Baz Luhrmann, Maya Rudolph and Kendall Jenner among the enchanted crowd.<\/p>\n Launch Gallery: Celebrities Front Row at Chanel Spring 2026 Ready-to-Wear Show Photos<\/a><\/p>\n Best of WWD<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for WWD’s Newsletter<\/a>.
