The Best Looks From Chanel SS 2021 Hollywood-Inspired Runway Show

For spring-summer 2021, designer Virginie Viard celebrates lively styles and silhouettes with neon jeans, flowing dresses, tweed suits, and sequins

Held at Grand Palais in Paris, the Chanel spring-summer 2021 ready-to-wear collection evoked cinematic allure by celebrating actresses who have a relationship, both on and off-screen, with the House. Evoking the famed Hollywood sign, the Chanel name appeared in illuminated giant letters, serving as a spectacular backdrop for the models sashaying down the pristine white runway.

“This collection is a tribute to the muses of the House. Gabrielle Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld dressed so many actresses in films and in real life. I was thinking about them who make us dream so much. But without wanting to replicate. Without falling into a vintage citation. I wanted it to be very joyful, colourful, and very vibrant too," explained designer Virginie Viard.

Here are our favourite looks:

1. Black & White

Above Two-toned jumpsuit.

The contrast of black and white is classic Chanel, playing out in everything rom jumpsuits and jackets to chain-inspired jewellery.

2. Forever Tweed

Above Co-ord tweed jacket and high-cut skirt

Above Half-shoulder tweed dress

No Chanel collection is complete with a tweed jacket or five. What may be refreshing this time is that the woollen fabric also appears in a contemporary half-shoulder dress, high-cut skirts and a deep V-neck sleeveless dress in earthy shades.

3. Pink Brigade

Above High-waisted pink flare jeans

Above Pink jacket and a matching flap bag

Above Two-toned sweater with front pockets in pink and black paired with striped flare pants

Above Tiny Chanel pink hand bag

If there's one colour that pops out, it's pink. The delicious shade creates a vibrant palette, marrying sophistication and a laidback vibe so apt for the season.

4. Floating Angels

The flowing dresses are deliberately unlined for maximum fluidity. These ethereal dresses are unfussy, capable of going from a sexy day look to a sultry evening ensemble without skipping a beat.
