A line of polished power dressers filed down the mirrored runway at Chanel s Haute Couture show in Paris this morning, wearing nipped skirt suits and romantic feathered hems. Last came Karl Lagerfeld muse Lily-Rose Depp who, outfitted in cascading layers of pale pink ruffles, was the platonic ideal of a Chanel bride in spring—one whose decidedly fresh face marked a stark departure from the house s general preference for punk-inflected beauty.
Backstage, Depp playfully turned for the camera to show off her clean, simple makeup—a just-bitten lip, the barest hint of pearl highlighter, and a touch of nude sparkle on the lids. Paired with a sleek, surreal updo—gelled back and wound around the head in a spiral by Sam McKnight—the overtly feminine look seemed to reflect the dialogue playing out across the globe by serving as a reminder that unadorned womanhood is powerful. Consider it proof that pretty can make an incredible impact—especially when it’s done like this.
