Gracie Abrams Embraced Effortless French Style at the Chanel Show

Once she arrived at the presentation, Abrams then took in Viard’s spring assortment in the front row. She was a big fan of the glitzier evening pieces. “One of the looks I can’t get out of my head is the long silver dress with pink feathers at the bottom,” says Abrams, who also loved the theatrical setting. “All I could think about the entire time—besides how badly I wanted every single piece that came down the runway—was how I feel like someone has to make a movie where the wardrobe consists only of this collection. It was strong, delicate, feminine, and a bit mysterious, even.”

Attending Paris Fashion Week certainly had an impact on the fashionable star, who says she’s now inspired to dress up for fall. This season, she’ll be embracing all things cozy. “I’m ready for summer to be over. I want to bundle and hibernate,” Abrams says. “I’ll be wearing coats that hit the floor as soon as it’s below 70 degrees.” She found plenty of outerwear inspiration in Paris. “Paris street style seems unmatched—people watching in this city is one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do.”

As for what lies ahead for Abrams? Her new single, “Difficult,” releases tomorrow. “I will be working on new music,” Abrams hints, “and then wrapping up the album as we speak.”
