Margaret Qualley’s Best Chanel Looks

I can’t edit it in Anna Wintour’s exact personal style, but I can sharpen it with the qualities associated with top-tier fashion editing: tighter, more authoritative, less explanatory, and more selective about what deserves emphasis.

Margaret Qualley has become one of Hollywood’s most compelling young actresses, moving easily between independent cinema, major studio films, and fashion. The youngest daughter of Andie MacDowell, she first drew wider attention in HBO’s The Leftovers, before appearing in Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Since then, her filmography has included Yorgos Lanthimos’s Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness, as well as Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance.

Fashion has developed alongside that career, and Chanel has become central to Qualley’s public image. Over the past several years, she has emerged as one of the house’s most recognizable muses, appearing repeatedly in Chanel on red carpets and at major industry events. The relationship works because Qualley rarely wears the clothes too literally. There is elegance, but also ease; femininity, but never too much polish.

At the London world premiere of Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars, Qualley wore a black dress from Matthieu Blazy’s Chanel Resort 2027 collection. The silhouette was deliberately restrained, leaving the unexpected footwear to become the real point of interest.
