A giant empty cage greeted Chanel’s guests at its return to the Grand Palais on Tuesday. Though perhaps not intentionally symbolic, the décor seemed to capture the current state of the house itself: a majestic structure empty of creative direction.

Chanel took to the Grand Palais for its spring-summer runway show on Tuesday, marking its return to the soaring glass and steel monument with an eclectic collection of sparkly tweed ensembles and a singing performance from actor Riley Keough.

Virginie Viard was only the third creative director in Chanel’s over 100-year history, following Karl Lagerfeld and legendary founder Chanel herself.

Guests including Whitney Peak, Nico Parker and more took in an evening of ballet that included two pieces by choreographer William Forsythe.

Chanel’s show at Paris Fashion Week marked a pivotal moment for the brand. With Virginie Viard’s exit, Chanel announced Lupita Nyong’o as its newest ambassador amidst creative uncertainty.
