Summary
- Ananya Panday named Chanel's first Indian brand ambassador
- Attended Chanel's Paris Fashion Week show in stylish crochet co-ord
- Interacted with Chanel's new Creative Director Matthieu Blazy
Last month, Bollywood actress Ananya Panday made a historic appearance at the Chanel Spring Summer 2026 Women's Ready-to-Wear showcase during Paris Fashion Week. The 26-year-old actor was officially named Chanel's Indian brand ambassador earlier this year, becoming the first person from India to hold this prestigious title for the French luxury fashion house.
Panday's presence at the Chanel show was a significant moment, as she was the first-ever Indian celebrity to be appointed as a brand ambassador for the iconic brand. The rising Bollywood star shared glimpses of her fashionable outing on social media, posing with other notable attendees like actor Pedro Pascal and BLACKPINK's Jennie.
For the event, Panday opted for a chic crochet co-ord set from Chanel's recent collection. Her ensemble featured a black top with half-length sleeves and see-through eyelet detailing, paired with a matching high-rise mini skirt. The outfit was elevated by the soft, crocheted white trim along the neckline and hemline. Keeping the accessories minimal, Panday completed her look with dainty gold jewelry, a classic Chanel bag, and black slingback pumps.
Panday's impeccable fashion sense and her historic appointment as Chanel's first Indian brand ambassador have undoubtedly made her a rising style icon to watch out for.
