Chanel celebrated a monumental milestone in haute couture with its Spring/Summer 2025 collection, marking 110 years of timeless elegance. Held in the newly renovated Grand Palais in Paris, the show was a tribute to Gabrielle Chanel’s enduring legacy, infused with modernity, craftsmanship, and a nod to the infinite renewal of the brand’s iconic design ethos. 

The collection embraced Chanel’s duality, steeped in heritage yet forever forward looking. Drawing inspiration from Gabrielle Chanel’s lesser-known love for vibrant hues and Karl Lagerfeld’s opulent archival palettes, the collection explored an 18^th century colour spectrum of sugared almon shades, combined with bold pastels and rich tones. 

“We’re celebrating the 110^th anniversary of the couture at Chanel. We had to mark the occasion,” said Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion at Chanel. “The collection embodies infinite renewal, a theme central to the house’s legacy for over a century.” 

Crafted with precision, the collection balanced practicality with artistry, presenting youthful silhouettes that transitioned seamlessly from day to night. Daywear featured cropped tweed jackets, short skirts, and colourful satin linings, while eveningwear captivated with flowing gowns and intricate embellishment. Each piece reflected the timelessness of Chanel’s philosophy, where wearability meets haute couture sophistication. 

The colour palette mirrored the journey of a day-from soft pastels like mint green and mauve to the deep, dramatic hues of midnight blue and black. Signature Chanel tweeds were reimagined with vibrant linings in emerald green, royal blue, and purple, injecting modern energy into classic designs. Fabrics and details stole the spotlight, with sheer tulle, floral embroidery, and feather accents adding depth and texture. Prints featuring translucent floral petals evoked a dreamlike quality, while standout pieces included a yellow satin shirtdress with rhinestone buttons and a black lace gown adorned with feather detailing.

The collection also highlighted the meticulous artistry of Chanel’s petites mains. The delicate embroidery on gowns and the intricate hand painted floral prints showcased the unparalleled craftmanship of the atelier, a hallmark of Chanel’s haute couture legacy. 

The Grand Palais served as the perfect backdrop for Chanel’s ode to infinite renewal. Designed by acclaimed creative director Willo Perron, the runway’s Mobius band structure symbolised continuity, echoing the house’s iconic double-C logo. The serene, sweeping set reinforced a sense of calm optimism, an apt reflection of Chanel’s enduring influence. This architectural choice further reflected the brand’s forward momentum as it prepares for the arrival of new creative director Matthieu Blazy later this year. 

The star-studded front row featured a dazzling array of celebrity guests, including Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa, Jennie Kim, Lily-Rose Depp, and Pamela Anderson. Each embodied Chanel’s modern muse, blending timeless glamour with a youthful spirit. Each embodied Chanel’s modern muse, blending timeless glamour with a youthful spirit that mirrored the collection’s essence. 

Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2025 Haute Couture show was more than a collection, it was a celebration of 110 years of artistry, innovation, and timeless allure. From pastel sunrises to dramatic evening hues, the collection embodied the spirit of renewal while looking ahead to a bright future under new creative leadership.

In the words of Pavlovsky, “Chanel is not just black and white; it’s about continuous evolution. The collection is a testament to that enduring philosophy.” Chanel proved, once again, that its legacy is not just rooted in the past but continuously evolving, celebrating the art of couture with a youthful, modern twist.

The first scene opens with Jocelyn posing in front of the camera and being asked to portray different emotions; laughing openly before suddenly crying. She wears a red silk kimono with black lace detailing, inspired by one Marilyn Monroe wore for a Slim Aarons photoshoot in 1955.

The costume designer for the show, Natasha Newman-Thomas, who also worked on The Wolf of Wall Street, described the ‘elegant chaos’ of the original photo as inspiration for Jocelyn’s kimono.

The show has an all star cast, with Blackpink’s Jennie Kim playing a dancer and friend, and the pilot being shot at The Weeknd’s house. The Weeknd’s character, Tedros, is portrayed as a sleazy man who Jocelyn is attracted to after meeting in a nightclub, because he gives her the sense of freedom she can’t have because of her career in the spotlight. 

The clothing choices on the show were made to say a lot about each character, with Natasha Newman-Thomas telling E-News that, while Jocelyn’s outfits may show a lot of skin, they are actually meant to distract from who she really is. “There’s an innate mystery to anyone you idolise”. Natasha told E-News, “you see the façade and the persona, but there’s a mystery to what goes on behind the scenes.” She also added that pop superstars have to wear unattainable clothing to keep the ‘fantasy status’. 

The show so far has set up a fascinating story and we can’t wait for the next episode this Sunday. In the meantime, let’s look at some of Jocelyn’s looks from the series so far: 

 In this photo, Jocelyn wears the Merano Knit Mini Dress from Aya Muse in blue from the resort 22 collection. The semi-transparent dress features vertical stripes and she has paired it with a silk evening bag with diamanté chains.

The post These Are The 6 Outfits We’ll Be Copy And Pasting From HBO’s The Idol appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Lily Rose Depp and Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye star in this very messed up romantic drama set in Hollywood. Created by Tesfaye and the mastermind behind Euphoria, Sam Levison, we’re expecting that this gritty drama will show us the glamour of stardom as well as reveal the dark underbelly of Tinseltown. The show is produced by A24 who have brought us some of the best films of last year such as Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Whale, X, Bodies Bodies Bodies, and Aftersun.

The show’s been in development since 2021 but it was revealed (perhaps accidentally!) by HBO’s Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys in a livestream during the Global Demand Awards that after the fourth season of The Succession we can expect to receive The Idol on our screens. As The Succession season four will run until the end of May we’re hoping The Weeknd’s brainchild will premiere in sometime in June.

The HBO original focuses on Jocelyn, played by Depp, a gorgeous young pop idol struggling to reclaim her title as the sexiest star in America after a nervous breakdown causes her last tour to be cancelled. When the mysterious and enigmatic self-help guru Tedros, played by the Weeknd, catches her eye in a club, the two embark on a fiery love affair, which will either save them or break them (our money’s on break).

Musician Troye Sivan, star of Shiva Baby and Bodies Bodies Bodies Rachel Sennott, rising actress Suzanna Son, Schitt’s Creek’s Dan Levy, and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie (in her acting debut) will all play a part in bringing The Idol to life.

In an interview with Elle last November, Depp said the biggest challenge when embodying Jocelyn was “understanding how alone you can feel, even when everybody’s watching you”. Pop idols Madonna, Britney Spears, and Mariah Carey were all used as reference points for Depp’s transformation. The actress also said she felt blessed to be working with Levinson and Tesfaye who are, “two people who make me feel incredibly safe and protected”. She called Tesfaye, “a really good friend who’s had my back”, saying, “We’ve gone on this wild ride together. It was a first for both of us in a lot of ways”.

So far, the three teaser trailer suggests the show will be packed with flashy convertibles, bright lights, sparkling mansions, slinky outfits, plenty of booze, sexy strip teases, many many drugs, and a crazy amount of sexual tension between the two leads. So basically, everything we love in a TV show. June can’t come soon enough.

The post The Weeknd’s New Show The Idol Is Set To Hit Screens In June – Here’s Everything We Know appeared first on Voir Fashion.

With the 73rd British Academy Film Awards being held in London last night, we have created a run down of our favourite looks that the nominated ladies on the red carpet absolutely nailed.

Margot Robbie: ‘Birds Of Prey’ actress, Margot Robbie, walked the red carpet in a black peplum-waisted Chanel number with floating laced sleeves and an open back.

Florence Pugh: ‘Little Women’ star, Florence Pugh, opted for a voluminous, puffy fuchsia gown with a long train by Dries Van Noten, standing out in a crowd dominated by black dresses and tuxedos.

Zoe Kravitz: Glittering in gold, Zoe Kravitz shone on the red carpet in a metallic gold Saint Laurent dress which she paired with simple red drop earrings that matched both her red-lip and the red carpet.

Scarlett Johansson: ‘Marriage Story’ star, Scarlett Johansson, didn’t hold back for the 73rd BAFTAs as she floated down the red carpet covered in pink sequins and feathers, displaying a thigh split and short feathered train. This Versace number was accessorised with some simple drop earrings to add even more sparkle and flair.

Emilia Clarke: ‘Game of Thrones’ star, Emilia Clarke, chose an elegant floor-length custom-style Schiaparelli gown with sequin embellishment covering the bodice and trailing down the skirt. She paired this with some simple purple gemstone earrings, adding a splash of colour to a classic black look.

Jodie Turner-Smith: Accompanied by her husband Joshua Jackson, Jodie Turner-Smith looked radiant in a halter-neck yellow Gucci gown that perfectly illuminated her baby bump, as she walked the red carpet glowing and covered in sequins.

Naomie Harris: Scarlett Johansson wasn’t the only glamorous actress flaunting a thigh-high split, as British actress Naomie Harris waltzed down the red carpet in a tasseled silver Michael Kors number. This silver was continued throughout her look as she accessorised with a matching clutch and strappy heels.

Ella Balinska: Looking like a spring day, Ella Balinska glided on the red carpet in a pink and white floral Giambattista Valli gown that featured a ruffled hem and neckline. The ruffle-trimmed cape added an element of drama to the otherwise delicate ensemble.

Lily-Rose Depp: The 20-year-old model reinvented the nude look in a sheer lace LBD, striking a pose as she stood out from the crowd in this sexy Chanel number. Showing that sometimes simple is all you need, Lily-Rose Depp opts for some open-toed black pumps and silver accessories.

The post Our Favourite Looks From the 2020 BAFTAs appeared first on Voir Fashion.

Adverts- the 30-second-long banes of your life when you finally get to slump on your couch and put your tired little feet up in front of an episode of the Kardashians after a long hard day of shopping. But as November gives way to December and we all get thrust into the festive season, adverts become gradually slightly more bearable to watch as Christmas campaigns begin littering our screens breaking us in before the iconic annual John Lewis Christmas advert drop. Yes, video montages of gravy pouring over unrealistically perfect turkeys are all well and good but what about the brands that take the humble Christmas ad and make it fashion. We know not everything in life is a competition, but it just makes it that little bit more exciting, doesn’t it?!

1). In third place for the award for the brand that has most successfully turned the ‘Christmas ad’ into fashion, we have the Chanel. Would you expect anything less? This year the brand presented us with its dainty little Christmas advert for the infamous fragrance Chanel No.5 with no less than the luxurious Parisian elegance Chanel is famed for…

2). Our runner up is a brand who’s Christmas campaigns are usually something along the lines of heartfelt videos displaying the rich history of the iconic British brand, intertwined with festive music and typical ‘Christmas day’ scenes. A stark contrast from the clinically white backdrop and pumping techno music that Burberry released this year for their Holiday 2019 campaign. It almost looks like something you’d watch at an exhibition at the Tate Modern, but we kind of love it.

3). And in first place we have …. drum roll please…. the reigning champion of managing to turn a Christmas ad into fashion… Gucci. Their 2019 ‘Gucci gift giving 2019 Campaign’ stays true to their quirky home-made-video vintage style adverts that manage to give you a feeling of nostalgia about the 70s and 80s even if you weren’t even born then, yet still feel timeless. A whole 1:35 of pure indulgent opulence… enjoy.
