Chanel Beauty

May 2026

Chanel Beauty invites us to embrace the essence of the season with their latest Les Beiges Coastal Summer collection, a campaign that masterfully captures the intersection of high-fashion luxury and effortless, sun-drenched radiance. By leaning into an editorial minimalism that feels both timeless and approachable, the visuals define a signature aesthetic centered on natural luminosity and understated elegance. Photographer Theo Wenner orchestrates a series of evocative portraits that prioritize tactile intimacy, utilizing a combination of studio strobe and natural light to emphasize the soft, dewy texture of the skin. The campaign features model Abby Champion, whose calm, direct gaze anchors the compositions, allowing the nuanced makeup artistry of Cécile Paravina to take center stage. Through precise macro photography, the collection highlights warm, sun-kissed tones and sophisticated, neutral palettes that speak to a refined coastal lifestyle. Complementing the cosmetics, the deliberate focus on metallic textures—seen in the iconic chain-link jewelry—provides a polished edge to the organic beauty of the look. With manicures by Alexandra Janowski adding a final layer of groomed perfection, the work translates the warmth of summer into a high-end visual language. This project excels by stripping away the superfluous, choosing instead to celebrate the delicate interplay between light, shadow, and the authentic, radiant texture of the human form.
