## Chanel Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture: A debut Defined by Simplicity
The chanel Spring/Summer 2026 Haute Couture show, marking the debut of Matthieu Blazy as artistic director, was a study in refined simplicity.
The closing look distilled Blazy’s vision. The bride, model Bhavitha Mandava, emerged in an oyster-white two-piece: a feathered midi skirt paired with a relaxed jacket, white plumes drifting through her hair.
It echoed the iridescent, feathered accents seen at Jonathan Anderson’s Dior show on Monday, suggesting a wider couture shift towards the airborne lightness and a new kind of femininity that leans into fluid form and freedom, as opposed to rigid, binding structure.
Sitting front row, singer Dua Lipa brought sunshine to Paris in a yellow, black and orange two-piece, while singer Gracie Abrams also opted for summer brights in a yellow tweed jacket.
Rapper A$AP Rocky, whose long-term partner Rihanna attended the Dior haute couture show on Monday, kept it pared back in a brown leather trench and salmon shirt.
Actress Nicole kidman, channeling Blazy’s vision, wore a black silk dress with pluming monochromatic feathers from the Chanel pre-fall 2026 collection and sat front row next to former *Vogue* editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Actress Penelope Cruz also opted for all-black in a crochet two-piece, also from Chanel’s pre-fall collection.
