Vanessa Paradis, Naomi Campbell, Keira Knightley… the star-studded front row of the Chanel Haute Couture show at the Palais Garnier

A high-flying parade under the gilding of the Parisian monument. On June 25, there was a crowd around the Palais Garnier, where the house of Chanel organized its fall-winter 2024-2025 haute couture show. The event, always anticipated during Haute Couture Fashion Week, had something special. Three weeks ago, artistic director Virginie Viard announced that she was leaving the Chanel ship. “The new creative organization will be announced in due course,” the label said in a press release after warmly thanking the designer for five years of input.

As always, the show is organized in two: a parade at 10am and another at 12pm. The first was marked by the return of Keira Knightley, who had been absent from the first line of Chanel for several seasons. In a romantic white dress with long transparent sleeves and an elaborate collar, the British actress was accompanied by her husband, musician James Righton, with whom she has shared her life since 2013.
