Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2025 collection at Paris Fashion Week was a masterclass in timeless style, proving Coco Chanel’s belief that “fashion fades, only style remains the same.” The iconic house stayed true to its heritage while reimagining its signature tweed jackets and boucle fabrics in fresh iterations. Ruffles and tulles added texture and movement, enhancing the collection’s chic monochromatic palette. Luxe materials and impeccable tailoring ensured that Chanel’s legacy of elegance and innovation remained as strong as ever.
Proportions played a central role on the runway, with oversized pearl necklaces, statement rings, and a mix of large and miniature handbags drawing attention.

The show, staged at the Grand Palais, featured a striking, giant black ribbon winding its way to the glass roof—a bold visual echoing the grandeur and elegance of the collection.
The star-studded front row features Jessica Alba, Camila Cabello, and Dakota Fanning, all dressed to the nines. Dakota’s striking gold satin suit stole the show, while Jessica and Camila went for the classic black tweed look.
Let’s take a closer look at the celebrities’ Chanel show outfits.
1. Jessica Alba Serves Timeless Elegance in Slingback Pumps and Tweed Skirt Suit
Although Jessica Alba wore a simple look, her allure remains undeniable. She looks gorgeous posing for photos in her pointy Chanel slingback pumps—a testament to her timeless style.
Her Chanel pumps, made of luxurious satin, instantly catch the eye with the interlocking logo on the vamp, giving the shoes a classic and recognizable look. They have a pointed-toe silhouette that adds a touch of sophistication and a slingback strap that ensures security and comfort.
The block heels add height and stability, enhancing the overall look and making them the perfect match for Alba’s sophisticated basics.

Jessica paired the pumps with Chanel’s iconic boucle tweed skirt suit, a classic example of the house’s Parisian elegance. It features a chic tailored blazer top made of black-and-white boucle tweed fabric, giving it a chic and sophisticated feel. The skirt is cut to skim the thighs, emphasizing her toned legs, which I think are impressive for her age, while giving the modest blazer top a hint of sensual flair.
The set features silver embroidered trims with sequins and a tiny jewel in the center, elevating the suit and giving it a touch of sparkle and femininity.
She teamed the look with black tights, lending a sense of flair and drama, while a quilted black Chanel box clutch gave her ensemble a contemporary edge.
I love how the combo produces a cohesive, polished look that demonstrates Alba’s effortless style.

2. Camila Cabello Looks Flirty in Sky-High Mary Jane Pumps and Tweed Co-ords
Camila Cabello’s short 5’2” height didn’t stop her from making an impact during the show, thanks to her towering platform pumps from fashion powerhouse Chanel. Despite her petite frame, Camila was able to strut into the front row like a pro with a feminine and stylish shoe that was hard to miss.
The shoes in question were nothing short of remarkable, with their delicate Mary Jane straps and soft almond toes lending refinement to the design. They boast Chanel’s classic black-on-black colorway, featuring a grosgrain toe cap and a satin upper, giving them a textural element while adding an extra dose of style.
These pumps are set atop thick platforms and tall block heels, with an interlocking CC Chanel logo at the back, creating a commanding and statuesque appearance.

I’m impressed by how Camila Cabello has been rocking her look lately. She’s killing it with confidence, and it’s incredible to see her embrace her slimmer figure.
She put a flirty spin on business wear at the Chanel show by eschewing a bra underneath a tweed blazer. The single-breasted jacket has a dangerously low plunging neckline, secured by delicate buttons along the front, creating a sultry and sophisticated look. She was shirtless underneath—a look that’s been everywhere on the red carpet since 2023.
Pairing the blazer with matching tweed trousers added a touch of professionalism and created a cohesive and effortless look. One of the highlights of the outfit was the subtle fringe detailing at the hem and cuffs, which added a touch of playfulness to the otherwise formal look. I especially adore the dark checkered pattern, as this design has a slimming effect, giving the appearance a more streamlined shape.
Camila looked stunning as she chose to wear her brunette locks straight, letting them flow elegantly over her shoulders to enhance the sultriness of her appearance.
She accessorized with a delicate bracelet and dangling earrings for a touch of sparkle and carried her essentials in a little black Chanel purse that went well with her outfit. I love how she embodied stylish, effortless elegance in this look.

3. Dakota Fanning Shines in Gold Pumps and Metallic Suit
Dakota Fanning stood out among the crowd in a head-to-toe gold look. She made her way to the front row in a pair of pumps similar to Camila’s, but hers was notable for its unique gold and black color scheme.
The striking Chanel pumps from the Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection are gold laminated lambskin leather with a black grosgrain cap toe, adding a touch of drama to the look.
While the shoes are already striking with their dramatic color combination, the real standout feature is the delicate straps that secure the shoes to the foot. They have dainty buckles embellished with multicolored stones, adding allure to the design. The same multicolored stones are also featured on the “CC” logo on the sole for added flair.
These pumps are set on thick platforms and high-block heels, giving Dakota a confident and standout appearance.

Dakota commanded attention with her ensemble, pairing her golden shoes with bold gold separates resembling crumpled tin foil. Her gilded coat top with pockets adorned with 3D florals adds a touch of whimsy to the look.
The coat’s wide, long sleeves and loose-fitting cut add to the laid-back attitude of the outfit. But to break up the shapeless form and give it subtle curvature, Dakota styled it with a metal and strass belt. The matching cropped capri trousers with buttoned cuffs complement the coat, creating a cohesive ensemble.
The set hails from Chanel’s Métiers d’art 2024-2025 collection, inspired by Chinese craftsmanship. While undoubtedly dramatic, I personally find the fit rather unflattering.
Dakota wore a gold chain necklace with an interlocking CC logo as if the gold was not enough. She also carried a black boxy purse with a black-and-gold chain handle from the house’s pre-fall 2025 collection.
