The two Hollywood stars surprised attendees at Chanel’s Fall/Winter Womenswear 2024/2025 Ready-to-Wear show, after opening the exclusive event with a short film in black and white, which paid tribute to the French resort of Deauville, known as the first place a Chanel store opened, more than a century ago.
The two actors reenacted scenes from the 1966 film ‘A Man and a Woman.’ Following the show, Penelope talked about her experience working closely with Brad for the first time.
Penelope described the premiere of the short film as “such a beautiful moment,” and shared her thoughts on the performance of the stars in the original film, Anouk Aimée and Jean-Louis Trintignant, as well as her experience working with directors Inez & Vinoodh
Chanel paid homage to the place that “inspired Gabrielle Chanel the invention of an allure,” describing the collection as “long, romantic silhouettes imagined by Virginie Viard [taking] their vibrant or pastel shades from the ever-changing colors of the Deauville sky, along with brown and gold lamé,” as detailed by the fashion brand.
