Chanel autumn/winter 2025: a winter of elegance and comfort

Fashion United08-07-2025
Paris – Chanel presented a glamorous and understated Haute Couture collection at the Grand Palais in Paris on Tuesday. This is the last collection designed by its in-house creative studio before the highly anticipated debut of new artistic director Matthieu Blazy.
For the autumn/winter 2025 season, the French fashion house reinvents winter classics and reinterprets its emblematic tweed. This time, it takes on a woven look in dresses of varying lengths. It also features in long coats, and low-waisted skirt and trouser suits, embellished with sequins, feathers and pearls.
Lighter dresses and skirts, generally in silk or chiffon and often ruffled, also form part of this new wardrobe. The collection plays with layering, with long skirts open over shorter skirts or wide belts with pockets. Chanel Autumn/Winter 2025, Haute Couture. Credits: ©Launchmetrics/spotlight.
All of this is presented in black, beige and white, matched with round-toe, knee-high boots.
This new wardrobe was presented in the Salon d'Honneur, decorated with wide draped curtains and comfortable beige sofas in the style of last century's haute couture salons. It was not shown in the nave of the Grand Palais, as is usually the case, as the latter houses a monumental installation by Brazilian artist Ernesto Neto.

The next collection, presented in October during Paris Fashion Week, will be signed by Blazy, who was appointed in December, six months after the abrupt departure of Virginie Viard.
The discreet and highly respected French-Belgian, former artistic director of Bottega Veneta, will have the difficult task of turning the page after Karl Lagerfeld. Lagerfeld reigned over the house for more than three decades until his death in 2019, leaving the reins to his right-hand woman, Viard. Chanel Autumn/Winter 2025, Haute Couture.

Illegal migrant LIVE STREAMS step by step channel crossing & boasts ‘my dream was to come here' from 4 star asylum hotel

The migrant posted eight videos before taking part in a live Q&A with his followers in the Afghan dialect Pashto STOP THE BOASTS Illegal migrant LIVE STREAMS step by step channel crossing & boasts 'my dream was to come here' from 4 star asylum hotel AN ILLEGAL migrant boasted on TikTok of crossing the Channel by dinghy, saying: 'Tell your friends to come.' The man racked up nearly a million views with a step-by-step guide to crossing the Channel on a small boat — and then told others to follow him as he revelled in his taxpayer-funded asylum hotel.

His taunts come as figures reveal 50,271 people have crossed in a small boat since Labour and Sir Keir Starmer took office last year. Last night Reform leader Nigel Farage MP told The Sun: 'This is yet another total humiliation for our country. "The Prime Minister's soft-touch approach and refusal to address the root cause of illegal Channel crossings has turned the UK into a global laughing stock.' Advertisement READ MORE ON ILLEGAL MIGRANTS SEA CHANGE How Med island once swamped by illegal migrants has seen arrivals shrink to ZERO TikTok influencer Alexandra, who has 70,000 followers, left Calais in a dinghy at around 4am on Saturday. His first video was a 13-second clip from the middle of the Channel, showing a French lifeboat alongside his dinghy, which was full of fellow migrants. The next clip showed him grinning in an orange life jacket and pointing to the sky. A third video, bizarrely set to the theme tune of US TV drama Prison Break, showed the vessel surrounded by massive freight ships, while in a fourth he dipped his designer trainers in the water. Advertisement He was one of 435 arrivals on Saturday, and was taken in by Border Force officials to be processed at Manston, Kent. He was then bussed to the four-star Crowne Plaza hotel in West Drayton, near Heathrow. The migrant, thought to be from Afghanistan, treats TikTok viewers to a tour of his room, which had two single beds and a double plus an en-suite bathroom. He also shows them the view from his window. Small boat crossings under Labour are on brink of hitting 50,000 - one illegal migrant every 11 mins since the election Triumphing in his good fortune, he said: 'This is dedicated to those haters who were happy thinking we either drowned or ended up dead.' In a later livestream he claimed their boat began to deflate halfway through the crossing and could have capsized if Border Force officials had not rescued them. Advertisement He said: 'It was dangerous. Our boat sank. It was punctured. The water came from the inside of the boat. "On the other side, three people pumped the water. If the British boats hadn't come in an hour, we would have been in trouble.' Those who want to come, this is the best place TikTok influencer Alexandra He then encouraged others to pay thousands to people-smugglers to make the same perilous journey. He ranted: 'I risked my life, I spent my money, I came. Your country is not your mother. Advertisement "Those who want to come, this is the best place. Don't be stingy. Your country is not your father, that you are so stingy. Live your life. 'Tell your four friends to come. Why are you so stingy? Being stingy is not good for God. You see, I risked my life! Why don't you come? My wish was to come to this hotel and live. I came here just for this.' 7 Fellow illegal migrants can be seen in the boat in another clip 7 The migrant's room has two single beds, a double and an en-suite Credit: Tiktok Advertisement He also revealed how he beat warnings of deportation, claiming he had been told by UK officials: 'If I send you to France, you won't have any problem.' But he replied: 'I will commit suicide.' He went on: 'I just said it, and he got angry. I told them, and right there, I swore an oath.' Spinning on his chair with his arms in the air, he then shouted: 'Welcome to London!' It's disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it's their dream to be put up in a hotel Chris Philp In total, the migrant posted eight videos before taking part in a live Q&A with his followers in the Afghan dialect Pashto. Advertisement His viewers appeared to include other asylum seekers in different hotels across the country. One told the host, who flashed his purple room key card, that the Crowne Plaza was 'a nice place'. The videos had a combined 870,000 views before being taken down during a second livestream when The Sun alerted TikTok. 7 The Heathrow Crowne Plaza has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence Credit: Dan Charity Advertisement Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp blasted: 'It is disgraceful that illegal immigrants are saying it is their dream to be put up in a hotel, all paid for by the British taxpayer. 'This is a sick joke. Anyone coming to the UK illegally must be swiftly deported.' Dozens of migrants have made social media posts celebrating their arrival in the UK. The Heathrow Crowne Plaza used to cost guests £120 a night — but has been housing migrants for more than four years, and has an 8ft security fence. Advertisement Facilities include a luxury swimming pool with steam room and sauna, gym, an Irish bar, two large restaurants and a theatre. More illegal arrivals were brought in on packed buses yesterday alongside vans delivering food. One Afghan man told The Sun: 'I came to Britain a few days ago on a boat from France. This hotel is nice and we get fed and given clothes. Life is nice here so far.' A TikTok spokeswoman said it has a zero-tolerance approach to content promoting people-smuggling. Advertisement A Home Office spokeswoman said it is unacceptable 'to promote the criminal services of people-traffickers or for social media companies to allow it'. Laws are being brought in to make it easier to prosecute, she added.

Moment Nicola Sturgeon gets ‘midlife crisis' tattoo amid launch of new book

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment Nicola Sturgeon got her "midlife crisis" tattoo ahead of the launch of her new book. The former First Minister got her first ever ink aged 55 at a store in Glasgow city centre.

A video of her getting inked was shared by the artist Kurt McGonigle, who said it was an "honour to tattoo the former First Minister." The ex-SNP chief opened up about her new tattoo in an ITV News interview ahead of the release of her memoir Frankly - which hit the shelves early on Monday. In the sit-down chat with Julie Etchingham, Ms Sturgeon rolled up her sleeve and showed off her new arm decal, saying: "Midlife crisis alert." She even revealed the meaning behind her new ink. Ms Sturgeon said: "It's kind of an infinity symbol with an arrow. "What it signifies to me is strength, resilience and continuing to move forward even when it feels impossible." The TV interview and her book are packed full of a number of bombshell revelations. She revealed she still misses her former mentor turned political enemy Alex Salmond - who died last year aged 69 - and added she was hit with a wave of grief when she heard about his death. Ms Sturgeon said: "Even today I still miss him in some way, the person that I used to know and the relationship we used to have." Five of the biggest BOMBSHELL moments from Nicola Sturgeon's new memoir In her book, she even claimed the late Queen Elizabeth II asked for GOSSIP about the sexual misconduct allegations against Mr Salmond in 2018 during an audience at Balmoral Castle. One of the most shocking moments from the ITV interview, she admitted making mistakes in her handling of the SNP's highly controversial gender self-ID laws. She even insisted her backing of trans rights was still correct - but admitted she should have 'taken a step back'. The telly chat even saw the ex-FM admitting notorious trans rapist Isla Bryson should "probably" not be able to choose their own gender and conceded the beast is a "biological male". 5 Nicola Sturgeon's highly anticipated new book 'Frankly' hit the shelves this week Credit: PA 5 She had a sit down chat with ITV News which contained a number of bombshell claims Credit: ITV More deeply personal admissions are in the book, including about her own sexuality. She addresses head-on speculation surrounding her sexuality and a previous rumour that she had a secret relationship with a French diplomat. Ms Sturgeon said that her sexuality is not binary. She also told her harrowing account of losing her unborn baby in a miscarriage, saying she would 'mourn her for the rest of my life'. In the tell-all memoir, she admitted the day she was arrested over Operation Branchform - the long-running probe into SNP finances - was the "worst day of her life". She said she struggled to cope with the 'mental torture' of not being cleared by police after a seven hour interrogation. The former leader even revealed she still counts shamed ex-Nats minister Derek Mackay as a 'friend' despite him being outed for pestering a schoolboy with creepy text messages. When our story went live, the ex-Nats chief said there was no doubt Mr Mackay had to resign and left her feeling "sick". She wrote: 'I was back at Bute House when the Sun story went online, late that evening. I felt sick as I read it."

Danielle Lloyd stuns in a hot pink dress as she joins chic Vanessa Feltz after an appearance on her talk show - following her shock cancer diagnosis

Danielle Lloyd looked incredible as she stepped out with Vanessa Feltz after an appearance on her talk show on Tuesday. The model, 41, turned heads in a hot pink drop-waist mini dress that showed off her toned pins. She draped a denim jacket over her shoulders and teamed it with a pair of hot pink Chanel flats. Completing the look, she carried a matching pink Birkin bag, worth upwards of £30k. Meanwhile, Vanessa, 63, looked chic in a white summer dress adorned with fun beach-themed embroidery. She shielded her eyes with a pair of pink sunglasses and accessorised with matching pink jewellery. The model, 41, turned heads in a hot pink drop-waist mini dress that showed off her toned pins The pair appeared in great spirits as they laughed and chatted while leaving the studio. Her appearance on the show comes after Daneille revealed how she overhauled her health and lost two stone with the help of Pilates after her terrifying health woes. She was diagnosed with the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma, in February, which left her in such fear for her life that she struggled to eat and sleep. Danielle, who is now cancer free, told The Sun last month: 'Being a mum, I was trying to put a brave face on for everyone, but inside I've been crumbling. I was worried every single day that I was going to die.' She is mum to five children - sharing son Ronnie, seven, and three-year-old daughter Autumn Rose, with husband Michael O'Neill, as well as sons Archie, 14, Harry, 13, and George, 11, with ex-husband Jamie O'Hara. Symptoms of melanoma include a new mole or changes to an existing mole, which is exactly what happened to the star, when she noticed one on her collarbone was changing shape. After tragically losing a friend to bowel cancer the previous year, she knew it was worth investigating and visited her GP, who referred her onto a dermatologist who advised removal. This took place in December, but Danielle had to wait an agonising nine weeks before she was diagnosed. She shielded her eyes with a pair of pink sunglasses and accessorised with matching pink jewellery Recalling her reaction, she said: 'I just burst into tears. I wasn't expecting it. When I heard the word 'cancer', I just thought, "That's it, I'm going to die."' She then had to have the skin surrounding the mole removed as a preventative measure as doctors worked to establish whether or not the cancer had spread. Thankfully, eight weeks after her February procedure, Danielle was told she was cancer free. She announced her diagnosis to her followers in a tearful video on Instagram in February, where she recalled how she'd noticed a change to one of her moles. She explained that she told her oldest three kids about her diagnosis, but refrained from telling the two little ones, because they were too young to understand and worried they'd jump to worse conclusion. 'It was difficult telling the older boys, Harry asked me if my hair was going to fall out. 'It's hard because they're still young, so I don't know if they fully understand - which is a good thing because I don't want to put a strain on them.' It is not the first time Danielle has had a cancer scare as she was rushed to hospital in 2023 after suffering from heavy bleeding. Doctors then discovered she had large cysts on her ovaries, but was thankfully told they were non-cancerous after undergoing a biopsy. She also found a lump in her breast last year and was given the all-clear in October after a biopsy discovered the lump was benign. What is malignant melanoma? Malignant melanoma is a serious form of skin cancer that begins in melanocytes, cells found in the upper layer of skin that produce melanin, which gives skin its colour. While less common that other types of skin cancer, it is more dangerous because of its ability to spread to other organs more rapidly if it is not treated at an early stage. Symptoms A new mole or a change in an existing mole may be signs of melanoma. Melanomas can appear anywhere on your body, but they're more common in areas that are often exposed to the sun. Some rarer types can affect the eyes, soles of the feet, palms of the hands or genitals. Check your skin for any unusual changes. Use a mirror or ask a partner or friend to check any areas you cannot see. In particular, look for: Moles with an uneven shape or edges Moles with a mix of colours Large moles - melanomas often tend to be more than 6mm wide Moles that change size, shape or colour over time Causes Ultraviolet (UV) light is the most common cause of melanoma. It comes from the sun and is used in sunbeds. Melanoma is more common in older people, but younger people can also get it. You're also more likely to get melanoma if you have: Pale skin that burns easily in the sun Red or blonde hair Blue or green eyes A large number of freckles or moles Had a lot of sun exposure and you've had sunburn a lot in the past Used sunbeds a lot A history of skin cancer in your family or you've had skin cancer before If you have black or brown skin, you have a lower chance of getting melanoma, but you can still get it. Prevention Staying safe in the sun is the best way to lower your chance of getting skin cancer (both melanoma and non-melanoma). Do the following: Stay out of the sun during the hottest part of the day (11am to 3pm in the UK) Keep your arms and legs covered and wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses that provide protection against ultraviolet (UV) rays Use sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and at least 4-star UVA protection – make sure you reapply it regularly Make sure babies and children are protected from the sun – their skin is much more sensitive than adult skin Treatment Melanoma skin cancer can often be treated. The treatment you have will depend on where it is, if it has spread and your general health. Surgery is the main treatment for melanoma. Radiotherapy, medicines and chemotherapy are also sometimes used. Surgery could involve removing the melanoma and an area of healthy skin around it, swollen lymph nodes if the cancer has spread to them and other parts of the body if it has spread to them. If a large part of skin has to be removed, a skin graft might be needed which could see kin taken from another part of the body to cover the area where the melanoma was. Radiotherpay is sometimes used to reduce the size of large melanomas and help control and relieve symptoms. Targeted medicines and immotherapy are used to treat melanomas that can't be dealt with by surgery, or have spread to lymph glands or other parts of the body. Chemotherapy, which kills cancer cells, is sometimes used to treat advanced melanoma when it has spread to another part of the body. It does not work as well as other treatments, but can be used if you are unable to have them. How dangerous is it? Generally for people with melanoma in England: almost all people (almost 100%) will survive their melanoma for 1 year or more after they are diagnosed around 90 out of every 100 people (around 90%) will survive their melanoma for 5 years or more after diagnosis more than 85 out of every 100 people (more than 85%) will survive their melanoma for 10 years or more after they are diagnosed
