Front Row @ Chanel Fall 2018 Haute Couture

Chanel presented their Fall 2018 Haute Couture show in Paris on Tuesday (July 3), with a host of stars, including their most loyal ambassadors in the front row.

Penelope Cruz: The Spanish actress was portraying a Parisian princess in her Chanel tweed dress and beret comb. I adored this look from head-to-toe as it was such and fun departure for Penelope.

Liu Wen: The model was appropriately dressed for the heatwave in this easy, breezy chiffon cool-blue Chanel dress. She continues to be my best dressed model.

Ellie Bamber: As one of Chanel’s official ambassadors, I wasn’t surprised to see the British actress in the front row. Oozing the same charm we got from Penelope’s look – thanks to the beret – my favourite part of this look was her Lifebuoy Chanel bag.

V&A Summer Party Red Carpet Roundup

There were many more celebs joining Sylvia Hoeks and Ciara in London for the V&A Summer Party on Wednesday (June 20).

Lady Kitty Spencer: Taking inspiration from Sicilian Majolica ceramic art, this dress from Dolce & Gabbana is printed with a colourful and artistic array of painted florals motifs. Spotlighting a feminine fit and flare silhouette, the look was interestingly complemented by colourful Mary Jane pumps.

Princess Beatrice: I love the white MSGM ruffle dress and her Kurt Geiger ‘Stratton’ pumps, but her Pop & Suki box bag didn’t need to make a reappearance with this look. It just didn’t work for me.

Gwendoline Christie: This wasn’t my favourite from this event, but I did like the girlie flourish which came from the hairband.

Serpentine Summer Party 2018 Red Carpet Roundup

The Serpentine summer party was hosted by Chanel on Tuesday (June 19), so naturally many of the attendees wore runway looks from the French fashion house, with just one-re-run on this occasion.

Jenna Coleman: This Chanel Resort 2018 dress as a lot more detail than we’re used to seeing on the English actress. I did love the vintage aura, but I was also feeling like it as perhaps a little bit too big for her.

Stacy Martin: No longer pigeon-holed as the Miu Miu/Prada girl, the actress wore a bewitching lace Chanel Fall 2018 dress, but it was really the embellished Chanel bag which captured my attention here.

Anya Taylor Joy: If you are having a heavy dose of deja vu, that’s because Anya’s Chanel Spring 2018 dress has been worn by Mackenzie Foy and Rainsford Qualley. I love the cutesy spin Anya gave this look with her navy ribbon and matching sandals combo.

Ellie Bamber In Chanel – Dunhill & GQ Pre-BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner And Party

Ellie Bamber joined Lily James for the Dunhill & GQ Pre-BAFTA Filmmakers Dinner and Party on Thursday (February 15) in London.

It’s hard to miss the integration of chic whimsy into this Chanel Pre-Fall 2018 design that offers a new look at sheer in the wispy skirt—thankfully worn with the leggings underneath.

I love how it all echoed the label’s classic nostalgia in the textural tweed coupled with embellishment and Chanel accessories whilst simultaneous presenting forward-looking, youthful modernity.

Did you miss the runway’s embellished shoes for a final flourish?

Front Row @ Chanel Spring 2018 Couture

Designer Karl Lagerfeld transformed Paris’s Grand Palais into a classic French garden to plant his flowery, sugary-chic confections for the Chanel Spring 2018 Couture show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday (January 23), where his Chanel-clad front row duly impressed.

Yara Shahidi: The starlet always impresses me with her command of fashion, and even in this setting, her particular brand of youthfully sophisticated, directional style shone brightly. I like how she brought an experimental twist to this girly-demure frock with the clear booties.

Ella Purnell: There was a prim charm to Ella’s matching sweater separates, modestly finished with a pair of black pumps.

Rita Ora: Classic tweed took a colourful, sporty direction with the songstress’s hoodie dress accessorised in true Rita rebel form with a quilted fanny pack and athletic sneakers. Yet, it all made sense, with the pink-coral hue tied throughout—from her lipstick right down to the accent colour on those shoes.

London Evening Standard Theatre Awards Red Carpet Roundup

Many more stars were in attendance at the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards were held on Sunday (December 3) in London, England, where all modes of elegance reigned supreme.

Annabelle Wallis: She was the very picture of modern glamour in this Stella McCartney black lace gown. I love how the perfect plunge neckline and semi-sheer, layered effect gave this dress a sultry yet sophisticated finish—juxtaposed with the classic elegance of old-Hollywood waves and a red lip.

Ophelia Lovibond: Not content to let her look go fully the way of monochromatic minimalism, Olivia enlivened this Emporio Armani Fall 2017 halter dress with a bright-pink clutch. It was unexpected, but gave the look its own unique flair.

Ellie Bamber In Chanel – ‘The Lady From The Sea’ Press Night After Party

Ellie Bamber positively sparkled at the press night after party for ‘The Lady From The Sea’ play, where she serves as the main actress, on Wednesday (October 18) in London.

The Chanel ambassador couldn’t have looked more chic in her black embroidered Chanel Fall 2017 dress that further elevated the concept of an LBD with its glinting embellishment.

I love how her accessories including a Chanel belt and clutch along with Chanel Fine Jewelry ‘Plume’ earrings in 18K white gold, diamond and pearl properly enhanced the shine factor rather than competing against it.

Classic, youthful elegance at its finest. Would you agree?
