Stars arrive for the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show after riot chaos

Jenna Coleman was among the stars arriving for the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show on Tuesday, after a week of unrest in the city. 

The designer brand has decided to press ahead with the Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023/2024 showcase despite Paris being rocked by six nights of violent protests after a 17-year-old boy was shot dead at point-blank range by a policeman during a traffic stop.

The actress, 37, was joined by Phoebe Tonkin and Camilla Morrone on the front row. 

Jenna cut a chic figure in a pale pink striped midi dress which was embroidered with the iconic double C motif. 

The former Doctor Who star complemented the look with some white sunglasses and silver slingback heels.

Paris Fashion Haute Couture week kicked off on Monday, but the city has been rocked by six nights of protests after a 17-year-old boy was shot dead at point-blank range by a policeman during a traffic stop in a Parisian suburb on Tuesday.

Celine cancelled their menswear show – which was outside the official calendar – on Sunday due to the chaos as shops were looted, cars were set on fire and fights broke out in the street. 

Celine designer Hedi Slimane said it was ‘inconsiderate’ to hold a fashion show when Paris was ‘bereaved and bruised’. 

Thousands have been arrested since the protests began, with some 45,000 officers deployed across the country to try and quell the unrest.

Sunday night saw the intensity of the protests abate somewhat, with the grandmother of teen shooting victim Nahel M. appealing to citizens to demonstrate peacefully and stop the violence.
