An ambassador for Chanel since 2018, Penélope Cruz attended the fashion house’s fall 2025 couture collection show during Paris Couture Week on Tuesday, wearing a look from the brand. The Oscar-winning actress donned a Chanel jacket, featuring a tailored silhouette with allover shimmering details intricately woven into the fabric.
Cruz’s outfit also included a black jacket with off-white trim and pearl detailing, along with sinuous cuffs and subtle pinstripe lines of sparkling details. The actress carried a Chanel quilted bag and wore a pair of black heels to complete her ensemble.

The actress’ shimmering black suit, part of Chanel’s cruise 2026 collection, made its runway debut last April. The Villa d’Este hotel in Italy served as the backdrop for the collection’s showcase, featuring designs that paid homage to the Romy Schneider wearing Gabrielle Chanel designs in his 1962 movie “Boccaccio 70,” per Luisa Zargani’s WWD review of the collection.

Highlights from the collection included “tweed miniskirts in a beautiful wisteria hue that matched the blooms on the terrace, for example, and short taffeta dresses in a peach or pink color with flounces and ruffles — although at times the frilly effect could have been toned down a bit,” Zargani added.
The collection marked a turning point for the French luxury fashion house. Matthieu Blazy, who spent much of his formative years at Bottega Veneta, was named Chanel’s creative director in December 2024. The designer’s first collection for the label will be featured in October. As of last April, the designer is reportedly assembling his team.
