Teyana Taylor, Lily-Rose Depp & Jennie Shine at Chanel Show in Paris


It’s a big week for Teyana Taylor and she started it off with the Chanel show.

The Oscar nominee took a few days away from the whirlwind of awards season, but admitted the clothes are one of the best parts of the ride. “That’s the fun part,” she said of navigating the many red carpets of the last few weeks. Minutes after artistic director Matthieu Blazy’s show ended, she was already backstage “calling dibs,” she said.

“I was like, I need this, I need that, I need that thigh boot,” she said. “I just love fabric. I love getting dressed. I love it all.”

As for her first red carpet? “It might have been my emo era, looking like I was in Blink 182,” she said. “But then you gotta remind yourself, back then that was where it was at.”

The actress shared a sweet moment with daughter Rue at the Golden Globes, when the 5-year-old stepped up to help her fix the train of her dress. Taylor said Rue has become a regular fixture at her all her fittings and might have a future in fashion herself. “She’s like, I want to come with you. I need to make sure the dress is perfect,” she said. “I really think Rue is going to be a designer.”

With the Oscars set for Sunday, Taylor has been keeping her nerves in check by hanging with her kids on a trip to Disneyland and the Eiffel Tower, plus cooking up a storm. Yet, despite her busy film and fashion schedule, the “One Battle After Another” actress is currently enrolled in culinary school. “It’s therapeutic for me,” she said.

Lily-Rose Depp was channeling some feline energy with a leopard print look — complete with a cat ear fascinator — that she’d been eyeing since it first appeared at the Métiers d’Art show in New York last December. “I just thought it was so fabulous, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since,” she said. The actress described herself as a cat person.

“I have a cat and I identify with them. So, I’m in character,” she said.

Her connection to Chanel runs deep. Depp’s earliest memory of an item is when mom and Karl Lagerfeld muse Vanessa Paradis gifted her a Chanel makeup bag around age 12. Though she said some of her very first memories are watching Paradis get dressed up for events in Chanel, “that was the first piece that felt like mine,” she said of the bag.

Thai star Norawit “Gemini” Titicharoenrak made his first front row as an official brand ambassador — newly minted last week. Though he’s been to several Chanel shows, the new title made him a “little nervous,” he said. “It hit differently coming to Paris this time.”

He felt he is representing Thailand on the global stage.

Even though Chanel doesn’t technically produce menswear, Gemini said he appreciated Blazy’s vision.

“Matthieu really reinterpreted Chanel to be both feminine and masculine at the same time,” he said. “Many of the looks today I think I could wear. And I think fashion is for everyone. It doesn’t have to be limited.”

Belgian pop star Angèle added that Blazy has refreshed the house “while keeping the soul of Chanel intact.”

The two have more in common than fashion. “We’re both Belgian,” she said, noting that the Paris-born designer spent his summers in Belgium and went to university in Brussels.

Her new single “What You Want,” is a blend of French and English, a similar twist to the bilingualism of K-pop. Could there ever be F-pop?

“There’s a whole new world — music is not only local anymore,” she said, of today’s borderless listening.

Front row, she caught up with Blackpink’s Jennie. They’re both longtime ambassadors and became friends through Chanel. “We love each other’s music,” she said.

Jennie, who just wrapped a six-month concert tour, is lining up her annual agenda with plenty of summer festival dates to be announced.

She called Blazy “the sweetest person ever,” and said they message each other pics and sketches of looks to collaborate on. The outfit for the night was a net dress with sea green beaded detail, and she painted her nails to match.

The show’s theme might have been “Work in Progress,” with cranes and scaffolding towering over the audience of the Grand Palais, but all the guests were all perfectly polished.
