Tuesday was a big deal for Chanel<\/a> in New York. For starters, their fall winter 2026 collection\u2014the second by creative director Matthieu Blazy\u2014hit stores. Like, sensationally<\/em> hit stories: Lines formed on the sidewalk outside of their Madison Avenue flagship. Bergdorf\u2019s shoe salon was more crowded than a nightclub on Saturday night. Rumors spread in group chats that Bloomingdale\u2019s (actually Saks! No wait, Bloomingdale\u2019s!) secretly had the best stash. On the same day, the fashion house would host a buzzy lunch for their female filmmaker program with Tribeca enterprises, which oversees TriBeCa Film Festival.<\/a> Called Through Her Lens, it provides funding and mentorship for emerging women creators.<\/p>\n The door to Locanda Verde, Robert De Niro<\/a>\u2019s restaurant in The Greenwich Hotel, was swarmed by photographers and guarded by iPad wielding, black-clothes wearing employees. They checked off notable name after notable name as they walked in: Regina King. Riley Keough. Misty Copeland. Emmy Rossum<\/a>. Celine Song<\/a>. And Halle Berry,<\/a> who signed autographs before walking in. (Side note: she has a great<\/em> banged bob. But don\u2019t get any ideas. A banged bob is a haircut that perhaps only Berry can pull off.)<\/p>\n Inside, Sarah Catherine Hook, a breakout star from The White Lotus<\/em><\/a>, posed for photographers with her black Chanel bag, playfully sticking her tongue out. She later went to chat with Ella Beatty (daughter of Warren Beatty and Annette Bening, and Ryan Murphy muse<\/a>) who wore black-and-white Chanel square toe heels\u2014a signature design of Blazy\u2019s. Sarah Hoover, who is currently turning her best-selling novel The Motherload<\/em> into a drama series for 20th Century Fox, rocked a vintage 1994 Chanel suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
