Paris Haute Couture Week Highlights Chanel Fairy‑Tale Collection and Zendaya’s Red‑Carpet Ensembles

Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel haute‑couture show at the Grand Palais featured a fairy‑tale theme with gold‑leaf décor, oversized magical beans and flowing chiffon gowns adorned with petals. The collection drew comparisons to John Galliano’s iconic Dior centenary show and emphasized romantic, ethereal silhouettes for the spring 2026 season.

In the same Paris fashion week, actress Zendaya made headlines on the red carpet, debuting designs from several haute‑couture houses. She wore a sculptural porcelain‑effect bustier and feather‑trimmed skirt by Daniel Roseberry for Schiaparelli, a Greek‑inspired dress by Simon Porte Jacquemus, and a laurel‑leaf gown by Valentino. Her look also included historic pieces such as an archival Alexander McQueen spring‑summer 1997 dress originally created for Givenchy.
