Valentino had the spotlight for the recent star-studded New York premiere of the documentary Valentino: The Last Emperor, which has continued on to open in several other major cities. Now it’s Chanel’s time to shine … or at least movie star Audrey Tatou’s turn at fashion film fame.
The French actress, who plays the lead role for the much-buzzed-about Coco Avant Chanel, cut quite a fashionable figure in a black-and-white floral bustier dress at the film’s premiere Monday night. The movie opened in Paris at a Champs-Elysees theater to positive reviews, including much praise for Tatou’s performance. One reviewer even raved about how the star “carries the film on her shoulder”.
The Chanel fashion is, of course, one of the other stars of the film, which highlights the early part of Coco’s life before her ascension to legendary status. Coco Avant Chanel will open to the public in France on April 22. No word yet about a U.S. premiere, but we can keep our fingers crossed!
