Few front-row guests are as closely linked to Matthieu Blazy's Chanel as Dua Lipa. On October 5, the singer took her seat under the dome of the Grand Palais for the house's spring/summer 2027 show, wearing a feather-trimmed look that seemed made for the collection's theme.
Hello! calls her Blazy's ultimate muse, and Vogue France notes that as soon as she arrived in Paris she was seen in a Chanel jacket by Blazy that had already featured in the magazine's September 2026 issue. Here is everything we know about her show look, from the embroidery to the shoes.
The look: a floral co-ord with feathers
According to Hello!, Dua wore Look 57 from Chanel's Cruise 2026/27 collection. The ensemble was a matching top and skirt adorned with red-and-black floral embroidery, with red-and-white feathered trims along the bodice and skirt.
Hello! describes the top as high-necked and sleeveless, while the midi skirt featured a thigh-high slit. Vogue France calls the outfit a reimagined skirt suit, sleeveless, slit, covered in flowers and finished with feathers, and notes that it was first shown at Chanel's Cruise 2027 show in Biarritz, which the magazine calls Gabrielle Chanel's creative cradle.
The feathers were not a random choice. Hello! points out that the trims echoed the soaring birds displayed above the Grand Palais, which served as a motif for the collection.
Vogue France quotes Blazy's show notes, which, translated from French, describe the collection as "not a heritage collection" but one that tells the many lives of Gabrielle Chanel, adding that, like a bird, she took flight and each of her steps led her towards freedom.
That makes Dua's outfit a neat piece of front-row storytelling: a cruise look that previewed the bird imagery of the main show.
Shoes, clutch and jewellery
The accessories were just as considered. Hello! reports that Dua wore baby-pink and black two-tone slingback pumps with a sculptural mushroom heel, a design from Chanel's spring 2026 haute couture collection. She carried a white pearl-embellished clutch and added gold jewellery and a floral ear cuff.
Vogue France also highlights the pink pumps, and describes ear jewellery decorated with the double C logo.
She was not the only famous face in the row. Cosmopolitan reports that Nicole Kidman, Alexa Demie and Pedro Pascal also sat front row at the show.
Dua Lipa and Chanel
The relationship between singer and house runs deep. Hello! reports that Dua married Callum Turner in summer 2026 at Villa Valguarnera, an 18th-century mansion in Palermo, wearing a Chanel haute couture gown that was Blazy's first bridal look for the brand.
According to Hello!, the dress was hand-embroidered in Chanel's Paris ateliers with 480,000 beads, its embroidery took 1,155 hours, the two-metre train was decorated with 25,000 feathers, and the six-metre tulle veil was accented with hand-cut organza appliques. Chanel shared behind-the-scenes images at the time, writing that it was "honored to have dressed her for this very special day," Hello! reports.
Seen in that light, the feathers on her spring 2027 front-row look feel like a deliberate continuation of the same story.
How to borrow the look
You do not need a couture budget to channel this. Start with a matching set, a top and skirt in the same print, which instantly looks polished. A floral or embroidered fabric gives it the Chanel feel, and a slit skirt adds movement.
Keep the shoes interesting: a two-tone slingback, especially in pink and black, is a classic Chanel cue. Then choose one statement accessory, such as a pearl-trimmed clutch or a single sculptural ear cuff, instead of a full set of jewellery. The feathers are optional, but a small trim on a hem or neckline gives the same sense of movement.
