Riley Keough Reflects on Her Experience Walking the Runway at Chanel’s Paris Fashion Week Show | Entertainment

Keough says she was drawn to the occasion not solely out of her loyalty to Chanel, but in addition due to the runway present’s setting this fall: For the first time since 2021, Chanel returned to the Grand Palais, which had been beforehand closed for renovations. “It was the first time back, and it just felt like such a beautiful place,” Keough says.

In phrases of make-up, Keough says the home let her “do my own version” of what the fashions sported on the runway. She chosen a daring winged eyeliner and bronzed blush to pair along with her shimmering black jumpsuit and matching cape.

“I think the older I get, the more I appreciate it, actually,” Keough says of the artistry and manufacturing that goes into runway collections.

As the granddaughter of Elvis Presley and daughter of Lisa Marie Presley, Keough comes from a protracted line of music and vogue royalty. She says she’s been attending vogue weeks for “maybe like 20 years” now, and “I just fall in love with it more and more each year.”

For the efficiency, Chanel outfitted Keough in a black buttoned jumpsuit, “which fit me really perfectly already,” and paired it with a sheer cape that’d catch the breeze as the singer swayed over the friends.

Although Keough’s present came about on a swing reasonably than a trapeze, “so it was a little bit different” from Paradis’ commercial, she however needed to maintain the references clear—so she and Chanel chosen an all-black look to imitate Paradis’ personal.

She says that there have been “a couple versions” of the cape itself, which was adjusted all through rehearsals to “figure out what would be a good length on the swing.”

One memorable full-circle scene from the present? As Keough sang above the crowd, she regarded down and locked eyes with Paradis sitting in the viewers. “I looked down and saw Vanessa, and it was such a special moment because she was kind of the only person who I made real eye contact with,” Keough says.

“I think that doing creative work is cathartic for artists,” Keough says. “It’s cathartic to make; it’s cathartic to watch it. Hopefully, anyway!”
