The Chanel show atParis Fashion Weekwas the place to be.
Though A-listers have been flocking to shows across the French capital over the past few days, Chanel’s Fall-Winter Womenswear 2024/2025 Ready-to-Wear show on Tuesday was something of a blockbuster.
Brad PittandPenélope Cruzkicked off the show as they starred together in a black-and-white short film that paid homage to the French beachside resort of Deauville, which the entire show was centered around.
In the film, Pitt, 60, and Cruz, 49, reenacted scenes from a classic, Oscar-winning French film, 1966’sA Man and a Woman. The film’s director, Claude Lelouch, was also in attendance at the Chanel show and arrived with Cruz, whobecame a brand ambassador for the fashion housein 2018. Pitt was not in attendance at the womenswear show, but the actor has a storied history with the brand asthe first male spokesperson for its iconic scentChanel No. 5.
Deauville is where Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel opened the French luxury brand’s first-ever store more than a century ago, and creative director Virginie Viard structured the whole show as an “homage to Deauville, a place which inspired Gabrielle Chanel the invention of an allure," according to theChanel website.
Towards the end of the show,Gigi Hadidmade a grand entrance — her first Fashion Week runway appearancesince she closed Miu Miu’s Spring/Summer 2024 showat Paris Fashion Week in October.
Hadid, 28, wore a long black dress that was see-through below the waist with a pair of platform suede boots and a dramatic collection of bold gold jewelry, including two textured cuff bracelets and a layered gold necklace featuring several medallions. A thin black belt with a gold clasp sat at her waist, and she held a black Chanel bag in her hand as she walked. Hadid’s hair was styled with a black bow and a white flower detail and tied behind her head, hanging low on her back.

The transformation process took over 16 hours for stylist Bridget Brager and celebrity colorist Tracey Cunningham to achieve.
“We wanted to find the perfect shade for Zoey’s upcoming role,” Cunningham shared in a statement with PEOPLE. “Our work was cut out for us, as most of the photos we could find of Jean were in black and white — but we settled on a soft, golden blonde color that really captures Jean’s essence.”
In Deutch’s post, she wrote, “surprise surpriseee ✂️,” as she unveiled the bold change.
