IT is not every day you see a horse on the runway at Paris fashion week… but it was the case on Tuesday when Charlotte Casiraghi opened Chanel’s spring summer 2022 Haute Couture show at the Grand Palais Éphémère on horseback, creating a fashion history moment.

The royal is a daughter Caroline, Princess of Hanover, and 11th in line to the throne of Monaco. She show jumped internationally in the past but has not done so much since 2017. The granddaughter of actress Grace Kelly is an ambassador for the luxury fashion brand Chanel, and wore a Chanel gown—with a few nods to her late grandmother – when she married film producer Dimitri Rassam in 2019.

The horse’s appearance sure did surprise the A-list celebrities in the crowd!
