Everything You Need to Know About the Chanel Couture Show

Jul 5 2017 - 10:25am

For this season's spectacular set [1], Karl Lagerfeld paid the ultimate tribute to the City of Light, transforming the Grand Palais into the Eiffel Tower for the Chanel Fall '17 Couture show. A replica tower was built right over the runway, with models making their walk under the arch. Per usual, the front row was a veritable who's who of Hollywood and style insiders like Cara Delevingne, Kristen Stewart [2], Julianne Moore, and Katy Perry [3].

As for the clothes, Karl introduced boater hats to complement every look while modest silhouettes in navy, grays, and blacks dominated the catwalk. The one exception, of course, is Lagerfeld's bridal look — this time, a voluminous, long-sleeved confection, trimmed with white floral embellishments and finished with a mile-long tulle veil floating behind her. Read on for every awe-inspiring moment from the runway.

Kristen Stewart showed up in a bedazzled bodysuit

Julianne Moore looked like the classic Chanel girl

Cara Delevingne joined the front row in cargo pants

Claudia Schiffer hit the show in a jumpsuit

Katy Perry wore a printed suit (and looked almost like Cara Delevingne's twin!)

Karl Lagerfeld transformed the Grand Palais into the Eiffel Tower

Every look was topped with a boater hat

The look was very early 20th century

Handbags and hats were finished with the fabric to match each look

Dramatic proportions made a statement

As did exposed shoulders

And feathers

Black, navy, and gray dominated the collection

Patent and tweed trimmed boots completed the looks

And, per usual, Karl's bridal looks closed the show
