Thought the 2025 Emmys red carpet was the last major event gathering A-listers in TV and film this fall? Think again. Barely 24 hours later, impeccably-dressed stars from Meghann Fahy and Sarah Paulson to Mariska Hargitay traveled cross-country in service of delivering some of their best Chanel outfits to date. This wasn't just their average step-and-repeat, however. It was a moment to champion other powerhouse women in their field—and the next generation of rising talents.
Chanel gathered more than one hundred leading actors, directors, producers, musicians, and more to toast ten years of the paradigm-shifting "Through Her Lens" program at the Tribeca hotspot Locanda Verde. An annual collaboration between Chanel and the Tribeca Film Festival, the initiative gives woman filmmakers access to three days of mentorship and workshopping, with the chance to receive full financing to produce a short film. With a cause like this as the reason to gather (and get dressed up), of course the likes of Tessa Thompson and Lily Allen would attend with their Chanel bags in tow.
