On Monday, Chanel hosted the 19th annual Tribeca Festival Artists Dinner at Tribeca Grill in New York City. The evening honoured a curation of vibrant visual artists who have contributed original artwork to the award-winning filmmakers of the 2026 Festival.

Scholarly Chic
What I love about Ayo Edebiri in this Chanel Fall 2026 look is how naturally it fits within the intellectual, bookish space she occupies so well. She brought enough personality to make the look feel distinctly her own. That said, I do think she could have carried off the runway styling with the blue shirt and cardigan just as convincingly. Even so, the two-tone shoes work well here.

Chanel, With Swag
Trust Teyana Taylor to make a Chanel bouclé jacket feel fresh. The success of this look lies in the layering. Between the textured jacket, lace shirt, embellished skirt and angular sunglasses, there is a lot happening, yet it all works because she commits fully to the concept. Few people can take pieces so traditionally associated with the house and make them feel entirely their own.

Familiar Territory
Camila Morrone in a semi-sheer black Chanel dress offered exactly what I expected. At this point, this sleek, body-skimming silhouette has become something of a uniform for her. There is no surprise factor, but there is also no denying how comfortable she looks operating within this lane.

Styling Saved It
Grace Gummer’s black Chanel Spring 2026 dress could easily have faded into the background had it not been for the styling choices. The starburst necklace injected personality, while the mint-tipped pumps added an unexpected twist. Without those elements, I suspect this look would have passed largely unnoticed.

Effortless Ease
Katie Holmes stayed true to the relaxed sensibility that has long defined her style. The Chanel sleeveless knit top, tailored trousers and understated accessories felt unfussy and approachable. Not every Chanel appearance needs to announce itself from across the room, and this was a reminder of that.

Dog Days
While Keke Palmer certainly has the personality to carry off a dog-print Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 suit, my first reaction was that the look skewed older than I would typically associate with her style. She wore it confidently, however.

Courtside Energy
Molly Gordon clearly had basketball on her mind. As an Arsenal supporter, I can appreciate loyalty to your team, and the oversized Knicks jacket immediately became the focal point of this look. It was casual, unexpected and completely at odds with the rest of the evening’s Chanel-heavy dress code, but the heart wants what the heart wants.

Better The Second Time
Paloma Elsesser wore the same Chanel Pre-Fall 2026 look previously seen on Dua Lipa. What made the difference here was the fit. The tailoring created a cleaner, closer-fitting silhouette that sharpened the overall effect. For me, this version had the edge.

Understated Mode
I wasn’t particularly surprised by Sarah Pidgeon’s minimalist approach. Since the Love Story press tour, her style has settled into a much more understated rhythm, despite the more animated Chanel look she wore to the New York premiere. My only reservation here is the fit, which prevented the leather dress from looking quite as sharp as it could have.

Welcome Back
It’s been a while since we’ve seen Whitney Peak on the red carpet, so it was good to have her back in the Chanel fold. The oversized checked blazer layered over a striped shirt, tank top and jeans delivered an easy, off-duty feel that felt refreshingly low-key amid a room full of statement pieces.
