From the moment she untied the black satin bow on her invitation, Hannah Harrell knew she was in for something extraordinary. The TikTok fashion darling, whose audience of over three million adores her mix of playful elegance and sartorial wit, has a knack for making high fashion feel effortlessly cool. Chanel, with its storied legacy of femininity and rebellion, felt like a perfect fit.
“I just knew this collection would be filled with everything I love about Chanel,” she tells GRAZIA USA. As the show unfolded, it was clear she was right. The Grand Palais, a venue steeped in Chanel lore, set the stage for a collection that reinterpreted the maison’s signatures with a knowing, modern edge.
Chanel’s runway was a feast for the eyes, with “so many fun accessories — exaggerated pearls, gloves, layered necklaces, and of course, lots of bows,” Harrell notes. Chanel has always understood the power of an accessory, and this season was no different. Pearls, oversized and opulent, draped languidly over tweed jackets. Bows — flirty, feminine, yet undeniably sophisticated — appeared everywhere, a playful nod to the brand’s timeless codes.
Beyond the clothes, there was the atmosphere. Harrell couldn’t help but feel the magic. “It makes everything feel so magical,” she says, and it’s no surprise — the venue alone takes every show to another level. The interplay of heritage and modernity, the anticipation in the air — it was fashion theater at its finest.
For her show-day look, Harrell embraced both style and comfort in a baby blue Chanel matching set. She chose Look 30 from Chanel’s Spring/Summer 2025 Collection. “I always feel like a princess in Chanel,” she muses. “This set was not only fun to style but also my coziest show day outfit.” The look, airy yet refined, captured the essence of Chanel today: luxurious, but never stiff.
