Margot Robbie, Kylie Minogue and a wave of global stars lit up Paris on Monday evening as Chanel unveiled one of the most anticipated runway shows of Paris Fashion Week 2026.
The Grand Palais, long considered one of the most iconic homes of high fashion, drew an extraordinary crowd for the luxury house’s latest ready‑to‑wear presentation.
Margot Robbie, attending fresh off the success of her hit film “Wuthering Heights,” turned heads with a brand‑new transformation.
The 35‑year‑old actress debuted a sleek bob haircut, trading in her signature long blonde waves for a sharp, modern look that instantly made headlines.
Robbie arrived in a sheer white vest layered over a lace bralet, paired with light‑wash denim jeans—a chic blend of casual and couture that has become increasingly popular among A‑list attendees at European fashion weeks.
She finished the ensemble with a quilted grey Chanel handbag and a luminous makeup look that highlighted her natural glow.
Kylie Minogue brought a completely different energy, embodying elegance and timeless sophistication.
The Australian music icon, now 57, stepped onto the red carpet in a cream silk lace co‑ord featuring an embroidered camisole and matching midi skirt.
The outfit struck a perfect balance between old‑Hollywood glamour and modern Parisian chic.
With a pair of heels adding height and a polished leather Chanel bag at her side, Minogue stunned photographers while her soft waves and glam makeup sealed the look.
Before taking her seat on the front row, the global superstar posed confidently for cameras, adding to the electric atmosphere of one of the biggest nights of Fashion Week.
Minogue has long been associated with the fashion world, and her appearance at Chanel continues her streak of high‑profile style moments spanning decades.
Paris Fashion Week, which runs from March 2 to March 10 this year, concludes the “big four” circuit that includes New York, London and Milan.
The 2026 schedule features 67 runway shows and 31 presentations, with the Institut Français de la Mode (IFM) traditionally opening the week.
The city has reported a significant increase in international attendance this season, partly driven by renewed global interest in luxury fashion and growing demand for physical runway experiences after years of hybrid formats.
The Chanel show also welcomed other major names including Oprah Winfrey, Lily‑Rose Depp, Olivia Dean and Teyana Taylor, each bringing their own style interpretations of the brand’s iconic aesthetic.
Olivia Dean, 26, opted for a patterned blazer paired with a textured white skirt, showcasing a look that blended contemporary tailoring with soft femininity.
For Margot Robbie, the evening followed a milestone moment in her professional career.
Her latest film, Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights,” co‑starring Jacob Elordi, recently surpassed $150 million worldwide just two weeks after release.
According to industry reports, the gothic romance continues to exceed expectations in both domestic and international markets. Warner Bros.
and MRC’s theatrical release added $14.2 million domestically over the weekend, while Sony Pictures Animation’s family feature “GOAT” slightly led the North American box office with $17 million.
Internationally, “Wuthering Heights” delivered an impressive $26.3 million across 76 territories.
With a production budget of approximately $80 million, the film has now reached $151.7 million globally, marking it as one of the rare adult‑focused box office hits in recent years—a trend analysts say reflects growing demand for mature, story‑driven cinema amid a landscape dominated by franchises.
At the same time, Sony’s “GOAT” continued its own strong momentum, pulling in $17 million from 51 markets for an international total of $44 million.
Both films have contributed to one of the most competitive and diverse early‑year box office seasons in recent years.
Jacob Elordi, who stars as Heathcliff opposite Robbie’s Catherine, recently commented on the film’s intimate scenes, explaining that such sequences are “super technical” and choreographed much like “a fight scene or a dance sequence.”
His remarks helped underscore the professionalism behind the movie’s passionate storytelling, which critics have praised for its bold, stripped‑back interpretation of the Emily Brontë classic.
As Fashion Week continues, Chanel’s star‑packed presentation has set a high bar for the remaining shows.
With Margot Robbie’s headline‑making haircut, Kylie Minogue’s ageless glamour and a front row full of entertainment royalty, the night demonstrated once again why Paris remains the beating heart of the global fashion calendar.
