Keira Knightley attended Chanel’s Cruise 2025/26 show at Villa d’Este in Lake Como, Italy, on April 29, 2025. The collection was designed by Chanel’s in-house studio during the transition to new creative director Matthieu Blazy, who officially joined the house in April 2025.
Knightley wore a long white gown adorned with oversized black satin bows, styled by Harper Slate. Her makeup was crafted by Chanel artist Kate Lee, featuring a dewy finish and soft-coral lips, while her hair was styled in a razored bob by Luke Hersheson.
The Cruise 2025/26 collection showcased jewel-encrusted suede mini dresses, pastel taffeta ball gowns, gold lamé damask trouser suits, and accessories like jewel-like minaudières and pool-ready totes, reflecting the lakeside and Renaissance surroundings.
The show also highlighted Chanel’s growing Italian production, including its acquisition of Mantero, a Como-based silk manufacturer that produced the collection’s silk headscarves.
