CELESTIAL BODIES SUCH AS stars and comets are symbols that date back to when Coco Chanel launched her only diamond collection in 1932 (read more about it here). During the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Chanel ambassador and actress Margaret Qualley and the multi-talented Greta Gerwig, who acted as president of the 2024 Cannes Jury, shone like the stars that harked back to Chanel’s 1932 collection. They both looked heavenly in pieces from the Étoile Filante (translating to shooting star) High Jewelry collection.
Qualley got in on the trend toward bejeweled hair ornaments by wearing the headband from the twinkling Étoile Filante collection to the Kinds of Kindness red carpet with diamond and pearl earrings and a light pink Chanel tulle gown that had an ethereal feel.
Gerwig went big and bold with the statement-making necklace from the same collection in platinum and diamonds that encircled her neck with a collar, which then dipped down to the centerpiece of Chanel’s trademark stars in different sizes on the Megalopolis red carpet.
The magic of the evening sky continues to be a popular direction for renowned houses and independent designers alike, and Chanel’s iconic pieces will always shine on as the pieces to covet and entrance those who can purchase them or view them up close and personal.
