Ayo Edebiri—one of Vogue’s November cover stars—is one of Hollywood’s most in-demand stars of the moment, and her red carpet style is just as A-list worthy. Working with stylist Danielle Goldberg, the actor has been nailing the art of modern glamour. Both on and off the step and repeat, she manages to find looks that feel classic and timeless, yet undeniably fresh too. It was only a matter of time, then, that Edebiri would become a Chanel girl.
This month, it was announced that Edebiri would become a global Chanel ambassador under designer Matthieu Blazy’s new helm of the label. She was spotted at the spring 2026 show in Paris looking chic (and very Parisian) in all-black—and now, she just debuted her first Chanel red carpet moment, too. Last night, the star attended the premiere of her new Luca Guadagnino-directed film After the Hunt in London (alongside co-stars Julia Roberts and Andrew Garfield) wearing a silky white Chanel gown, complete with draping and a low-waisted belt detail.
Turns out, the striking gown was debuted in the spring 2026 Chanel show just last week (it was look 52, to be exact). The design is a perfect fit for Edebiri, striking the right balance between Old Hollywood glamour and New Hollywood innovation. Plus, it is a total flex for her to wear a fresh-off-the-runway design from one of the hottest shows of Fashion Month—and if you are a face for the label, you should be awarded such powers.
It may be too early to call it, but just a few looks in (she also wore some stunning black Chanel to the New York Film Festival), and Edebiri’s Chanel era is off to a glorious start. Start taking your bets on which runway look she will rock next. A vintage Chanel, perhaps? Or the epic feathered skirt from spring? The options are endless, and the world is Ayo Edebiri’s oyster.
