Dua Lipa and her big velvet hair bow probably obstructed at least four people's vision at Chanel's Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2025 show. And reader, we are so back. Blocking someone's view of the runway with an elaborate headpiece is a fashion month tradition, after all. I, for one, feel grateful to the 29-year-old pop star for carrying on what 13-year-old Tavi Gevinson and her towering pink hair ribbon started at Dior's couture runway show in 2012.
Held at The Grand Palais during Paris Couture Fashion Week on Jan. 28, the presentation saw the "Levitating" singer sit front-row in a ladylike black-on-black ensemble. Around her shoulders sat a floor-length cape fastened with black velvet bows and embellished with shimmering silver tweed threads. Clearly, the cape trend set in motion by designers like Gabriela Hearst, Chloé, Tibi, and Khaite last winter will be sticking around for another season or two.
