Golden Girl
Those of you who were fatigued by Margot Robbie’s highly thematic Wuthering Heights press tour will be relieved that the Australian actress didn’t opt for a literal interpretation here. Personally, I’m just happy that we are getting consistently strong looks for the Chanel ambassador.

This softly ruched gold lamé gown, finished with cascading petal-like ruffles trailing from the back, hints at the theme through texture and finish rather than concept. I would argue this is one of her best Chanel looks to date.

Feathered Flight
I adore the ethereal execution of Ayo Edebiri’s white Chanel chiffon draped gown. The lightness of the fabric, paired with feathered bird motifs suggesting motion, nods to art through symbolism.

It’s a gentle interpretation, but one that lands, even if it doesn’t push into something more concept-driven.

Scaled Surface
Jennie wore a strapless Chanel metallic-blue sequinned column dress that reads almost like scales or tiles, giving the look a subtle textural link to decorative arts.

It’s visually striking, but the connection to “Costume Art” feels more aesthetic than intentional, relying on surface rather than narrative.

Soft Tailoring
A$AP Rocky can lean heavily into a theme, but he approached this event in Chanel through classic tailoring.

His personality came through via the pink robe coat, his own Pavē Niteō jewels, and the Chanel Fall 2026 Apple bag.

Pastel Embellishment
Lily-Rose Depp’s grey Chanel gown, with its delicate embroidery, pearls, soft floral appliqué, and feathered accents, sits within familiar territory for her, and the house, with the level of embellishment carrying a clear artistic value.

Embellished Layers
Gracie Abrams’ gold and blush Chanel dress, with crystal embroidery and chain detailing layered over chiffon, is perhaps the most visually aligned with the theme.

The intricacy of the embellishment and the interplay of materials suggest a decorative-art influence.

Off-Duty
Bhavitha Mandava’s Chanel Spring 2026 Haute Couture muslin separates introduced a casual note that felt disconnected from the evening’s direction. The denim-effect print made me immediately disengage from the look, as it doesn’t complements the setting.

Beaded Texture
Awar Odhiang’s fully beaded Chanel Haute Couture look offered strong visual impact through surface alone. The density of the embellishment gives it an almost mosaic-like quality, which ties more convincingly to the idea of wearable art.
All the look were styled with Chanel Fine Jewelry.
