Chanel Front Row S/S 2026

Nicole Kidman

Interesting -- you can see a red script Chanel on this shirt. Is this a new logo phase? I like a crisp white shirt and a pant; I don't really like them styled thusly. But it's trying something.

The girls are like, "Try any foolishness and we will BLOCK YOU."

Okay, but Nicole, you're hiding the jacket?!? That might be great! Don't bury the lede, as they say!

Ayo Edebiri

Concurrently with the show, Chanel announced Ayo as an ambassador. I dread this for her only because I really liked her varied and interesting taste; I am happy that she'll get the cashola so she can do interesting things with it, and I am HOPEFUL that the new regime at Chanel will make it more fruitful than it otherwise would have been.

Margot Robbie

They lured Margot back, just to give her a bikini top?!? It all works on her, but it isn't special.

Michaela Coel

Michaela CANNOT believe it about Margot's top. This whole situation is so fascinating -- it's teasing a really REALLY new aesthetic.

Lily Rose Depp

I actually don't think this is tweed, per se, but maybe more... boucle? Or wool? I don't know. But based on the buttons, the skirt looks very poorly done. Maybe he's trying to be like, "UGH, SEE, WE NEED TO MOVE OFF THIS SHIT."

Marion Cotillard

This is the right idea for styling what they DO keep in this vein. Casual everywhere but the jacket.

Naomi Campbell

I was going to say, "This looks great on her," but she's Naomi Campbell so that would not be a shock. But it IS a pleasant outfit. I feel relaxed.

Pedro Pascal

So handsome. The clothes are nothing spectacular, but honestly, that's okay here. Well-made and sane can come first!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

JLD is there to research a new show that's just like Veep, but about mimes. ... I made that up, but doesn't it sound like the right idea?

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

It's truly a good suit.

SWINTON

That's ALSO a good skirt. CAN IT BE.

Maya Rudolph

Ooh, but what if it didn't have a waist tie? If it was cut with a natural waist, I think it'd look better.

Imane Khelif

I love this for her -- the invitation, the outfit, and the fact that she looks like she's running a chic bowling team.

Kendall Jenner

This is the most like recent Chanel that we got, and indeed, I don't like it.

Carrie Coon

I thought this was Annie Lennox. But seriously, looking at this, I thought, "Where IS Kristen Stewart?!?"

Gracie Abrams

That's kind of boring and wan.

Penelope Cruz

Oh no, those pants did NOT take to the journey very well.

Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos

This ALSO became part of Lauren Sanchez's grand plan to become... I mean, I'll just say it: less tacky. Her dress here IS pretty good. I'm honestly more fixated on how Bezos looks like a different human entirely. He's like if Ben Kingsley ran a recording studio.
