Margaret Qualley embraced understated elegance in a striking Chanel look while attending the New York special screening of "Love of Your Life." The 31-year-old actress stepped onto the blue carpet in a sleek black gown. While the dress looked classic from the front, it revealed a dramatic surprise on the back.
Her slinky open-back dress featured an eye-catching floral accent suspended by delicate metal chains. Consequently, the unique detail gave the timeless little black dress a modern twist.

Margaret Qualley wore Look 78 from Matthieu Blazy's Chanel Fall/Winter 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection. The long-sleeved black dress featured a modest boat neckline and a fluid silhouette that skimmed her frame before falling to her ankles.

Celebrities approach screenings differently. Some arrive in looks that wouldn't be out of place at a major premiere, while others prefer to dial things down. Margaret opted for the latter in a black Chanel Fall 2026 dress.
From the front, I'm sure many of you are thinking this is fairly uneventful, but the real appeal is at the back, where the open design reveals a delicate feather embellishment suspended between fine straps, adding an unexpected detail to an otherwise simple silhouette.

We've already seen what Ayo Edebiri has delivered at the Toronto International Film Festival, but she isn't the only Chanel ambassador in town. Lily-Rose Depp, Penélope Cruz and Margaret Qualley have also been representing the house across premieres, dinners and the TIFF Tribute Awards.

This mini tweed Chanel dress couldn't be more Lily-Rose Depp coded. The fitted silhouette, contrast trim and prominent double-C logo all sit firmly within her usual Chanel vocabulary, but the red earrings give the black-and-white look the pop of colour it needed. It's familiar territory for Lily-Rose, and it always works so well.

This pale-yellow Chanel Fall 2026 dress does feel like a step outside Lily-Rose's comfort zone, both in terms of style and colour. That quintessentially French-girl quality we've long ****** ociated with her Chanel wardrobe isn't as apparent in Matthieu Blazy's designs, which is allowing us to see another side of her style.

Margaret Qualley brought high fashion to the outdoors in her stunning new cover story. Photographed by Talia Ryder and styled by Taylor McNeill for POP Magazine Issue 55 (Autumn/Winter 2026), the actress looked effortlessly glamorous. She effortlessly layered a shimmering designer look straight off the Chanel runway with her own relaxed streetwear pieces. Thus, her bold styling choices proved that classic tweed and sparkling textures can feel completely modern and cool.
For the Pop Magazine cover shot, Margaret Qualley sat outdoors while holding a small, adorable grey dog in her arms. She wore a striking ensemble from Chanel's Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Her outfit started with a classic tweed jacket. The jacket was woven with metallic gold, beige, and black plaid patterns. It featured vibrant red trim along the lapels and red ***** on details. The red accents also added a bold pop of color to the textured outer layer.
Beneath the jacket, Qualley wore her own bright red hoodie. The simple hoodie brought a playful street-style contrast to the luxury outfit. She paired the top layers with a blinding, iridescent metallic skirt. The shimmering skirt caught the light with rainbow-hued metallic tones.
What made the skirt stand out most was its daring silhouette. It was designed with not just one, but two dangerously high slits along the front. The double-slit cuts added plenty of movement and drama to the knee-length metallic piece.
With her long, dark hair draped naturally over one shoulder under the red hood, Qualley posed with a playful, candid facial expression. Her fresh-faced makeup and relaxed pose brought an easygoing, cool-girl vibe to the high-fashion Chanel look. Moreover, she pulled off a daring style risk with ease. By pairing high-end runway pieces with everyday wardrobe staples, Qualley created an unforgettable fashion moment that felt both bold and accessible.

Margaret Qualley just proved that when it comes to fashion, there's apparently no such thing as too little shoe.
On August 20, the 31-year-old actress hit the red carpet for the premiere of The Dog Stars in London. As a Chanel ambassador, it wasn't surprising to see her dressed from head-to-toe in the brand, but it's her footwear that's causing a scene.

Honestly? We knew it wouldn't be long before what is perhaps the most controversial shoe (if you can even call it that) of the year made its way onto the red carpet. Fashion has always loved an opinion-dividing shoe moment, and at last night's The Dog Stars premiere in London, Margaret Qualley stepped out in Chanel's much-discussed "barefoot" sandals, proving that even the most eyebrow-raising runway trends can find their way onto the red carpet.
There were plenty of highlights from the premiere, from Jacob Elordi arriving in Celine with his adorable dog, to Margaret's elegant, ethereal and effortlessly cool black fringed Chanel dress. But it was the actress's footwear that had everyone talking.
So, what exactly are the shoes?
First unveiled as part of Matthieu Blazy's Chanel Resort 2027 collection in Biarritz, the sandals take the phrase "barely there" in the most literal sense.

We are firm fans of Mark Guiducci's Vanity Fair. Having succeeded Radhika Jones in 2025, names like Jennifer Aniston, Elle & Dakota Fanning, Charli XCX, Teyana Taylor, Margaret Qualley, Kylie Jenner, Mbappé, and Lisa have become cover stars. Covers have captivated and caught our attention to no end. Next up on the cover of Vanity Fair is Marc Jacobs, who fronts the 2026 Style issue of the magazine. The CFDA Award-winning American designer (whose fashion label is set to be sold by LVMH to WHP Global and G-III Apparel Group in a deal valued at up to $850 million) is painted by the Canadian artist Anna Weyant for the occasion.

"I love art and portraits, but not this for a cover of a style issue," shared MModa upon checking out the cover.
"I've really been enjoying the new Vanity Fair a lot, but this is probably the weakest cover under Mark Guiducci so far. I don't mind it, though – it's definitely not the best, but I don't think it's awful," LastNight voiced.
"Sometimes it's best to just use a nice photo for the front of the issue. Twist yourself into knots trying to do something different, and you end up making Marc Jacobs look a bit like a very serious Ringo Starr," shrieked tigerrouge.

We can admit that Cosmopolitan doesn't command our attention every month. However, the Hearst-owned publication isn't completely off our radar. After all, a vibrant and sultry Margaret Qualley cover (when the ****** le celebrated its monumental 60th anniversary for Fall 2025) and Sydney Sweeney morphing into a 90s supermodel for Spring 2026 have had our undivided attention of late. Next up on the cover of Cosmopolitan is Jennie, who fronts the Fall 2026 edition of the magazine. The South Korean singer and rapper (of the K-pop group Blackpink) is profiled by the photographer Grayson Vaughan and stylist Brandon Tan.

"Super cute. I like all of the covers. The yellow version is my favorite," shared MModa.
"Very 60s-70s Cosmo cover", admired forum member onlooker.
"What a terrific selection of covers. Grayson Vaughan and the team have undoubtedly done Jennie justice with these covers! I absolutely love how each one harks back to the magazine's glory days of the 90s. I love the inclusion of the vintage Chanel and Roberto Cavalli pieces. Very nicely done," applauded vogue28.
