A Princess and a horse kick of Chanel Fashion Show

Charlotte Casiraghi knows how to make an entrance.

On Monday, Casiraghi, the daughter of Monaco’s Princess Caroline and granddaughter of Princess Grace, kicked of the Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week Tuesday on horseback.

Dressed in a glittering black tweed jacket, pants and sleek riding boots, Casiraghi — a veteran equestrian — trotted on the runway to the surprise of attendees, including Pharrell Williams. The course, which was designed by artist Xavier Veilhan allowed for Casiraghi’s horse to gallop freely.

Casiraghi, 35, isn’t the first to bring a stallion on the catwalk. Last year, Virginie Viard — who took over as creative director of Chanel after Lagerfeld died in 2019 — introduced the year’s bride (Lola Nicon) on a majestic white horse.

Casiraghi has long been open about her love or horses, telling Harper’s Bazaar in 2013: “They’ve had an important role in my life.” “They gave me the energy to move forward, the ability to fight, giving me a rare confidence and invaluable strength,” Casiraghi told the publication.
