While the next Fashion Week is still months away (watch this space in early September), another season has arrived to fill the sartorial shortage. Welcome to the Cruise 2026 circuit, which will dominate your Instagram feed from now until late summer. So far, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Dior, and Max Mara (to name a few) have confirmed the dates and locations of each runway show. Gucci will take over Florence, Italy; Louis Vuitton chose Avignon, France; and Dior will detour to Rome. First up on the Cruise docket? The Chanel show. On April 29, the legendary label kicked off the season on a stylish note and in Lake Como, Italy, no less. Nautical patterns, colorful accessories, and mod-inspired matching sets flooded the venue, but on the front row, celebrities channeled classic Chanel.

In true Chanel form, the guest list featured various fans of the atelier — both new and longtime. Never one to miss a Chanel soirée, Keira Knightley made the trip to Lake Como for the studio’s final presentation before Matthieu Blazy takes over. Outside the seaside Villa d’Este, the brand ambassador posed for photographers in a look straight out of Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2025 installment. Seen on the runway on March 12, the black-and-white gown featured long-sleeves and oversized bows on the bodice — one of the collection’s key codes. Lupita Nyong’o followed Knightley’s lead and sourced the same line. The Oscar winner paired a tweed button-down with a sheer overlay skirt. Fashion enthusiasts were especially fond of her accessories, specifically her hair charm. Marking her first A-list affair since this year’s Academy Awards, Margaret Qualley continued her Chanel streak at the Tuesday afternoon bash. She looked straight out of the ‘60s in a tweed mini dress, toe-cap heels, and a voluminous beehive hairdo.

And that’s not all. Ahead, see every celebrity look from the Chanel Cruise 2026 show, and stay tuned to TZR for more as the runway rotation rages on.
