Red Carpet Royalty: Chanel’s Biggest Award-Show Moments of 2025

Chanel’s DNA is timeless tailoring, modern romance, and meticulous craft — owned the spotlight on red carpets around the world this year.
From daring reinventions of archive pieces to pearl-studded couture, these 2025 moments prove why Chanel remains a beacon of glamour.

Tyla at the MTV VMAs 2025 – Vintage Chanel Reimagined

South Africa’s own Tyla made headlines at the MTV Video Music Awards in September when she wore a 1993 Chanel cropped top transformed into a micro-mini dress. Styled with stacks of gold jewellery, the look blended heritage with youthful edge — a bold celebration of Chanel’s playful side.

Lupita Nyong’o at the 2025 Oscars – Pearls & Haute Couture

At the 97th Academy Awards, Lupita Nyong’o delivered one of the season’s most talked-about looks: a custom white Chanel Haute Couture gown adorned with more than 22,000 pearls. The design balanced sculptural drama with delicate embroidery, showcasing the unrivalled craftsmanship behind Chanel couture.

Style takeaway: Choose timeless textures — pearls, beading, and crisp whites — for statement elegance.

Michelle Williams at the Emmy Awards – Vintage Elegance

For the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards, Michelle Williams opted for vintage Chanel: a soft-pink ruffled gown paired with Chanel High Jewelry (N°5 drop necklace and Coco Crush pieces). The ensemble highlighted how archival Chanel remains as relevant today as on its original runway.
