It’s fair to say that many of us had our doubts about the Nathalie Emmanuel x Chanel union when the British actress first graced the 2024 Cannes Film Festival red carpet. Could the edgy, vibrant star of ‘Game of Thrones’ truly find a fashion match in the storied French house known for its classic elegance? Last night, at the ‘Megalopolis’ premiere in New York, Nathalie proved every skeptic—including myself—entirely wrong.
Walking the carpet in a burgundy Chanel Fall 2019 Haute Couture strapless dress, Nathalie radiated sophistication. The dress, with its flattering draped bodice and understated elegance, may not have been her signature bold style, but there was an undeniable magic in its simplicity. The rich burgundy hue, while restrained compared to her past love of daring shades, felt both modern and timeless.
But beyond the gown itself, it was Nathalie’s presence that truly captivated. Her poise, her effortless beauty, and the refined Chanel jewels that finished the look elevated her to the pinnacle of red carpet glamour. It’s as though she’s entering a new phase in her sartorial journey—one where restraint doesn’t mean compromise, and subtlety doesn’t erase personality.
I have long admired Nathalie’s adventurous style, particularly her love for vibrant, daring colours that set her apart. This latest look may signal a shift in tone, but it certainly hasn’t dampened my enthusiasm for her evolving fashion sense. If anything, this fresh chapter is a reminder that style is ever-changing, and when it comes to Nathalie Emmanuel, I’m always happy to be surprised.
