Jennie vs Go Youn-jung: Two Chanel Moods That Captivated Paris’ Grand Palais

On the evening of March 9, local time in Paris, ambassador Jennie and actress Go Youn-jung attended the ‘CHANEL Fall-Winter 2026 Collection’ show side by side, staged against the backdrop of a massive, vividly colored structure at the Grand Palais. This collection, which returned to the house’s roots to explore the legacy of Gabrielle Chanel, presented Mathieu Blazy’s second vision—and the two muses perfectly embodied the house’s new language through opposing keywords: “glamour” and “classic.”

#Jennie’s “elegant edge”: a striking presence perfected with a net look

Global fashion icon Jennie captivated all eyes at the show in Look 23 from CHANEL’s 2026 Métiers d’art collection, choosing a net top and skirt that showcased the house’s artistic craftsmanship. She paired the sensuality of the delicate, sheer net fabric with a crocodile-embossed calfskin clutch to create a look that was both elegant and powerful. She finished with suede beige pumps from the 2026 S/S ready-to-wear collection, balancing the ensemble and presenting the essence of an experimental, sensibility-driven CHANEL look.

#Go Youn-jung’s “timeless luxury”: the classic evolution of a tweed set

Actress Go Youn-jung created a modern, sophisticated style using tweed—an enduring emblem of the CHANEL house. She highlighted a fresh yet refined visual in Look 36 from the 2026 Métiers d’art collection: a white tweed set accented with black contrast details.

She added a lambskin top-handle flap bag and beige pumps from the 2026 S/S collection, delivering a polished CHANEL look that reinterpreted the house’s distinctive codes with a contemporary sensibility.

#Mathieu Blazy’s vision: a harmonious stage where tradition and modernity meet
The collection that spotlighted both of their looks presented a broad color palette grounded in a balance of functionality and glamour, nature and artifice. Beginning at dusk with pendant invitations shaped like measuring tapes, the show expanded the house’s iconic codes in a modern way, building a creative vision. Jennie’s bold experimentation and Go Youn-jung’s timeless elegance further elevated the completeness of looks in which CHANEL’s past, present, and future—as envisioned by Mathieu Blazy—come together.
