Clemence Poesy looked sensational as she headed the stars attending Chanel’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter 22/23 show as part of Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday.
The actress exuded glamor as they settled down to watch the show at L’Etrier de Paris, which was also attended by Leslie Mann, Taraji P. Henson and Sigourney Weaver.
French actress Clemence, 39, was dressed for the show to turn heads, in a scarlet leather co-ord that paired a boxy jacket with flared shorts that highlighted her toned pins.
The Harry Potter star proved that less is more by keeping the rest of her look neutral by donning a simple white tee and black lace t-strap pumps.
Taraji, 51, looked chic in a sequined mini dress with a bold tartan print, long sleeves and a thigh-length hem to show off her toned pins.
The Empire actress wore a gray tweed blazer slung over her shoulders, while a pair of black heels enhanced her model figure.

While the stars have been out and about in large numbers, the heyday of A-list models strutting the catwalk is long gone, as Gigi Hadid and Kaia Gerber were last seen walking a Chanel runway in early 2020.
Virginie Viard is the new creative director at Chanel, succeeding Lagerfeld after his death in February 2019.
Lagerfeld was known for his muses, who helped launch Gerber, Kendall Jenner, and Lily_Rose Depp into superstars in the years leading up to his death.
In his 36 years as creative director, Lagerfeld’s collaborations with models, it girls and the A-list have included show staples like his “Couture Brides,” which defined the runway shows he oversaw. The Grand Palais spectacle and familiar faces on the catwalk, in turn, attracted the stars to FROW.

Meanwhile, Viard, who worked for Lagerfeld since 1987 before rising to the top job, was described by Vogue in 2020 as “the least famous fashion designer in her most famous house.”
In her previous position as Lagerfeld’s studio coordinator, Viard built years of friendships and collaborations with the craftsmen behind the Maisons d’Art, the characters behind the designs rather than the beauties dressed in them.
Haute couture is the centuries-old Parisian tradition of creating bespoke garments at exorbitant prices for the world’s richest women.
The shows began on Monday, with major fashion brands Dior and Schiaparelli presenting their collections, and will end on Thursday.
