Four names carried the House down the carpet this year: Nicole Kidman, Ayo Edebiri, Sarah Pidgeon and Youn Yuh-Jung. Between them, they showed just how far CHANEL’s craftsmanship stretches, from bridal-white embellishment to jewel-toned satin.
Nicole Kidman, a longtime CHANEL Ambassador, wore a wool crepe bustier gown in white, embellished with 46 flowers crafted from layered silk crepe, silk organza and raffia. The piece required 416 hours to construct. She completed the look with CHANEL Shoes and a trio of High Jewelry pieces: the Signature Ultime Earrings, the Chanel Print Ring, and the Ruban Ring, all rendered in 18k white gold.
Ayo Edebiri, nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, chose a blue silk faille dress finished with a contrasting vermilion red bow at the back. The gown took 163 hours to complete, and her look was rounded out with CHANEL Makeup.
Sarah Pidgeon, up for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, wore a lilac bias satin dress, its bodice cascading with intertwined gold and silver chains, crystals, gold beads and pearls in white and lilac tones. Two hundred and fifty hours of work went into the piece. Her jewellery came from the maison’s High Jewelry line: the Diamant Evanescent Transformable Necklace and the Rose Tendre Ring, paired with CHANEL Makeup.
Youn Yuh-Jung, nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in the same category, opted for a look pulled straight from the runway: a white silk dress embroidered with alabaster-hued flowers, look 68 from the brand’s Fall-Winter 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection. She finished the ensemble with CHANEL shoes.
Between them, the four looks captured the range the label is known for: architectural embellishment, romantic movement, and quiet elegance, each rendered with the kind of handwork that takes hundreds of hours to achieve.
