Dakota Fanning’s Golden Moment at Chanel F/W ’25/’26 Show

Fanning’s look was a masterclass in modern elegance. She wore a gold jacket adorned with intricate floral appliqués, paired with cropped trousers from Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2025 collection. The outfit, inspired by Chinese craftsmanship, was a nod to the brand’s global influences and artisanal heritage. Adding to the allure were her cap-toe platform heels and a gold chain necklace featuring Chanel’s iconic interlocking “C” logo. The pièce de résistance? A satin lantern-shaped version of the classic quilted handbag, proving that Fanning’s style is as timeless as it is trendsetting.

Her makeup and hair complemented the look flawlessly—straightened blonde locks, winged eyeliner, rosy blush, and a satin mauve lip. It was a look that screamed sophistication without trying too hard.

Chanel’s Métiers d’Art show, held in Hangzhou, China, celebrated the work of over 100 artisans, from embroiderers to goldsmiths. This year’s presentation marked the second time the event was staged in China, following Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic 2009 Shanghai show.

As Matthieu Blazy prepares to take the helm at Chanel, Fanning’s appearance felt like a fitting tribute to the brand’s legacy and its exciting future.
