Getty Images Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy first showed the suit in July as part of his fall 2026 couture collection, where it was one of three scarecrow-inspired looks. Lipa’s hat, made from black raffia crafted to look like straw, commanded the most attention. “Bird nest 🪺 🐣,” one commenter wrote, while another said it reminded them of the plastic grass tucked inside Easter baskets. Vining embroidery and woolen botanical details covered the skirt and jacket, which fastened with purple pansy buttons. A safety pin decked out in pearls and chain was affixed to the front, and ornate black embellishments trimmed the collar and cuffs. Stylist Lorenzo Posocco wrapped a Chanel metal and glass pearl necklace around the 31-year-old’s ankle, then added black satin pumps and a black handbag from the house.

For her June wedding to Callum Turner in Sicily, she wore a custom Blazy-designed couture gown embroidered with 480,000 beads. She also wore a $15K Chanel coat to a Yankees playoff game with Turner earlier this month, and in August, she toted a supersized beach bag from the brand in lieu of luggage. Inside the Museum of Modern Art, Lipa and fellow Chanel ambassador A$AP Rocky presented Blazy with the Fashion Innovator Award. Community Guidelines Welcome to the Page Six Community!
