Lou Lampros, Suzy Bemba and Golshifteh Farahani Dazzle in Chanel on Deauville’s Red Carpet

At the 51st Deauville American Film Festival, the red carpet shimmered with timeless elegance as Lou Lampros, Suzy Bemba and Golshifteh Farahani stepped out in CHANEL, each embodying a different facet of the House’s cinematic legacy.

Their presence not only turned heads but also marked another chapter in the long-standing love story between CHANEL and cinema.

This year’s festival carries a special resonance, as CHANEL supports Richard Linklater’s highly anticipated film Nouvelle Vague. The project, produced by ARP, reimagines the creative effervescence surrounding Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, the film that forever changed the language of cinema. Starring Zoey Deutch as Jean Seberg, with costumes crafted in part by CHANEL in collaboration with Pascaline Chavanne, Nouvelle Vague revisits 1959 Paris and pays homage to the freedom, inventiveness, and spontaneity of the French New Wave.

The synergy between CHANEL and cinema has deep roots. Gabrielle Chanel herself dressed stars of the Nouvelle Vague and collaborated with visionaries such as Jean Renoir, Jean Cocteau, and Alain Resnais. Today, the House continues to honor that bond through its collections, film partnerships, and support for cinematic heritage.

So when the stars walked the Deauville carpet in CHANEL, it was more than a style moment, it was a continuation of a legacy. Lou Lampros exuded effortless modernity, Suzy Bemba brought youthful sophistication, and Golshifteh Farahani radiated timeless allure. Together, they carried forward the spirit of Chanel’s cinema-inspired elegance, reminding the world that fashion and film have always spoken the same language.
