Carole Bouquet Stuns at Chanel Show with Unexpected Silver Hair adn Braided Style
PARIS-Carole Bouquet, the iconic face of Chanel’s No. 5 perfume and longtime friend of Karl Lagerfeld, debuted a striking new look at the Chanel parade held at the grand Palais. the French actress, typically known for her perfectly maintained mid-length brown hair, appeared with naturally pepper-and-salt hair styled in sleek, plated braids pulled back into a ponytail secured with a black knot. The unexpected change promptly captivated photographers and fashion observers.
Bouquet’s appearance marks a notable shift for the actress, who has consistently embodied classic French elegance. Her decision to embrace her natural hair color and a modern braided hairstyle signals a potential embrace of a more natural aesthetic, resonating with evolving beauty standards and a growing movement toward authenticity. The look accompanied a elegant ensemble of a white shirt under a long black coat with gold accents, complementing her quilted bag, shoes, and earrings.
The Chanel show itself drew a constellation of stars, including Marion Cotillard, Penélope Cruz, Charlotte Casiraghi (ex-daughter-in-law to Bouquet), Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose Depp, Nicole Kidman, Pedro Pascal, Naomi Campbell, and Angèle. Bouquet’s presence, though, was particularly noteworthy given her history with the brand and the dramatic change in her signature style. She has rarely missed a Chanel parade, continuing a tradition established during her years as a muse for Lagerfeld in the 1990s.
