Amid a star-studded front row, Gigi Hadid made her mark in a sleek black skirt-suit by Chanel. The supermodel completed the elegant look with pointy-toed black pumps and wore her hair pulled back in a sleek chignon.
Claudia Schiffer, one of Lagerfeld’s muses in the ’90s, wore an understated all-black look: a sweater, skinny jeans and flats. The blonde carried a black and white Chanel handbag.
