Chanel held its first runway show in Australia at Sydney's Barangaroo, attended by celebrities including Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie.

Chanel held its first runway show in Australia at the Cutaway in Sydney's Barangaroo, presenting the Cruise 2026/27 collection created by creative director Matthieu Blazy. The show was a re-staging of the collection originally presented in Biarritz in April.

The event drew major Australian entertainment figures including Chanel ambassadors Nicole Kidman and Margot Robbie, as well as Kylie Minogue, filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, Olympic champion Cathy Freeman and DJ Dom Dolla. Australian models including Julia Nobis, Gemma Ward, Catherine McNeil and Charlee Fraser walked in the show, alongside fresh faces making their runway debuts for Chanel.

Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion at Chanel, said the brand wanted to create something 'very unique and special' in Australia. The runway shows coincided with the opening of a new Chanel flagship store in Sydney, with a renovated Melbourne outlet to open later in the month. The Cruise 2026/27 collection became available in boutiques from the day of the show.
