On a vibrant Tuesday evening, Sarah Pidgeon made a striking impression at the New York City premiere of FX's much-anticipated series, "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette." Adorned in a stunning piece from Matthieu Blazy's pre-fall 2026 collection, she embodied the essence of Chanel with sophistication and flair.
Styled by the talented Emma Jade Morrison, Pidgeon donned a sleeveless dress featuring a daring plunging neckline. This exquisite garment paid homage to the Art Deco movement, showcasing diamond-shaped designs that echoed the elegance of the 1930s. The intricate beaded details gracefully led to a drop waist, flowing into a playful skirt adorned with soft turquoise feathers. A charming black bow elegantly crowned the neckline, adding a touch of whimsy to the overall ensemble. Although her black trousers remained hidden from view, they complemented the outfit seamlessly, paired beautifully with pointed-toe black pumps that elevated her look further.
Sarah's hair, styled by David von Cannon, was left down with a middle part, radiating a natural beauty that perfectly suited the occasion. Meanwhile, her makeup artist, Shayna Goldberg, kept the look soft and fresh, enhancing Pidgeon's features without overpowering them.
Matthieu Blazy, who was appointed as Chanel’s new artistic director in December 2024, recently showcased his inaugural Métiers d’Art collection in an unforgettable setting—the New York City subway system. This groundbreaking presentation, described by Emily Mercer in WWD, transported viewers through various eras, from the iconic 1920s beehive hairstyles to the bold power suits of the '80s, enriched with animal print inspirations that reflect Gabrielle Chanel’s timeless wardrobe. The collection featured striking tweed sets crafted with handwoven leopard patterns—an innovative technique—and silks reminiscent of Chanel's famed admiration for Astrakhan fur. Among the highlights was a detailed tweed rendition of the 1931 film poster for "Tonight or Never," a project for which Chanel herself designed costumes.
In FX's "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette," Pidgeon stars alongside Paul Anthony Kelly, bringing to life the captivating narrative of their relationship during the 1990s. Executive produced by Ryan Murphy, this series is set to debut on FX and Hulu on February 12, promising audiences a deep dive into one of the most talked-about romances of that era.
