Chanel Cruise 2027 Front Row In Biarritz
Matthieu Blazy’s first Cruise collection for Chanel was unveiled in Biarritz, France – returning to the house’s origins, where Gabrielle Chanel opened her couture salon in 1915. The collection focused on beach-to-city dressing, spanning retro swimwear, airy layers, relaxed tailoring, and classic tweed. One standout: the striped oversized Chanel bag from look 51, which will likely be all over Instagram soon.
The front row, however, leaned notably subdued.

Colour Cuts Through Black
Michaela Coel and Marion Cotillard both worked variations of the Chanel LBD, but Michaela’s use of colour through her accessories gave her look a notable edge.


Open Back, Strong Finish
Nicole Kidman’s black Chanel Fall 2026 dress was minimal from the front, with the open back delivering the defining detail.



A Mismatch In Mood
Anamaria Vartolomei’s Chanel look featured strong gold accents, but the overall tone felt older than expected.

A Rare Shift In Hemline
Tilda Swinton introduced another pair of Chanel two-tone mules, but the mini skirt stood out as a rare choice. The tailored top half kept it aligned with her usual style.


A Generational Mirror
Honor Swinton Byrne’s floral-embellished Chanel suit felt inspired by Tilda – so much so, it almost read as a wardrobe swap between mother and daughter.

The Return Of The Bib Shirt
Charlotte Casiraghi revisited the Chanel Spring 2026 bib shirt, continuing its presence on the red carpet. Nicole Kidman wore it first followed by Jessie Buckley, and Jacob Elordi.


The One Who Broke Rank
A$AP Rocky cut through the monochrome lineup with colour and personality – pairing relaxed trousers, a western-leaning jacket, and a bold red shirt with a pink Chanel bag and matching mini ballet flats, nodding to his daughter. Rocki Irish Mayers.


Low-Key As Expected
Sofia Coppola presented her usual understated style, aligning with the overall tone of the relaxed event.
