Phoebe Tonkin’s personal photos show what it’s really like getting ready for a Chanel haute couture show

As a Chanel ambassador, Phoebe Tonkin has at her fingertips what every girl dreams of: Chanel on speed dial. So, when it came time for Chanel’s haute couture autumn/winter ’19/’20 show in Paris, the Australian actress and model was seated front row at the world’s most exclusive book club as the Grand Palais was transformed into a circular library. For the show, Tonkin was dressed by the house in a black silk blouse and a black iridescent tweed skirt (imagine having an entire Chanel collection to choose from!) along with Chanel shoes, accessories and make-up products galore. She was also treated to a tour of the Chanel atelier to see first-hand what goes into making such an exquisite collection. While there is no such thing as an ‘ordinary’ couture show, this one was particularly extra-ordinary, as it marked Virginie Viard’s first solo Chanel haute couture show since the passing of Karl Lagerfeld. If you couldn’t make it there yourself—maybe next time!—the next best thing is having Tonkin take you there with her. Scroll on for more of her personal snaps from the day.

Brush, brush, brush!

I was so honoured to have been invited into the atelier to see some of the pieces before they were shown—such incredible skill and craftsmanship behind the scenes.
