Olivia Dean played with texture in Chanel Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear Show on Monday in Paris, wearing the brand’s Look 67 Métiers d’Art Collection 2026 in the Grand Palace. The singer, whose song “So Easy” helped her kick off a big year that recently earned her a Grammy Award for Best New Artist, arrived in one of the lineup’s most tactile combinations, pairing a densely printed tweed jacket with a long cream-colored skirt with fringes, sheer inserts, and feather-textured panels.

The “Man I Need” singer’s look paired a fitted boucle-style tweed jacket with a long cream skirt constructed of multiple textures. A speckled pattern of black, ivory, and yellow covered the jacket, which reached to the waist and was closed with round, jewel-like buttons, which were also adorned with tactile embellishments. A wide collar, rolled cuffs, and a dark burgundy shoulder bag with a beaded strap added even more texture on top.
The skirt brought the softer side of the look while still maintaining a sense of structure. Cream satin-backed panels ran down the body, broken by vertical bands of looped fringe and narrow cream-toned panels. A dense fringed hem finished off the bottom.

Dean finished the look with chanelThe pointed toe slingback pumps, one of the house’s oldest signatures, made here in beige and black with pointed toes and thin slingback straps.
Her outfit comes from the Métiers d’Art collection that Matthieu Blazy debuted in December on an abandoned Bowery subway platform in New York. “The collection is very character-driven,” he told WWD at the time, citing figures that included a ’70s journalist, an ’80s businesswoman and the mix of personalities he encountered while traveling downtown.
Dean has been in chanelShe has been in orbit at least since the house’s spring 2023 couture show, and in June 2024 Chanel included her among its ambassadors and friends of the couture house in Paris. She maintained that relationship until the 2026 Grammys, where she won Best New Artist in Custom Chanel.

That ongoing relationship now adds to an ever-expanding portfolio of ambassadors. Burberry introduced Dean as the face of Burberry Her Parfum in January and Hourglass named her a global brand partner on March 8, just one day before the Chanel show.
The Chanel appearance also extended the longest career Dean has been on since the launch cycle of “The art of loving” her second album, which WWD recently linked to a record-breaking chart moment for a British female artist.
