RSS FeedCan a Sk8er Girl wear Chanel?
The House of Chanel has officially moved on after last week’s très embarrassing Reese Witherspoon/Kirsten Dunst Golden Globes dress debacle.
And who cares about zee upcoming Oscars? Chanel has fresh flesh to fry.
Punk princess Avril Lavigne, now 21, attended her first Paris couture show Tuesday, showing up at Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel couture collection held at the Grand Palais in the Louvre.
I know she's all grown up but gosh, it's kinda sad to see the end of our little grungster’s carefree Sk8er Girl wardrobe: self-ripped jeans, plaid minis, baggy cargos, safety-pinned Ts, suspenders, vests and that vast collection of men’s neckties, some swiped from her dad.
Seated in the prestigious front row, Lavigne was all chic and polite in a black Chanel couture dress (from the Fall collection, dahling) and carried a signature Chanel purse from the “Luxury by Chanel” collection.
Does this couture appearance mean Ms. Lavigne may sport Chanel if she attends the upcoming Grammy Awards? Hey, anything’s possible. Or maybe she’ll wear some Chanel stuff when she performs during the closing ceremony of the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin, Italy on Feb. 26.
She has already worn Chanel…

…and Gucci in the February issue of that glossy rag mag Harper's Bazaar, which has cleverly dubbed her “Twiggy for the 2000s.” Maybe that's why she signed a contract with Ford Models and why savvy Katie Ford, formerly married to hot L.A. hotel hunk (The Standard, Chateau Marmont) André Balazs, was escorting the punk popper around Paris.
And Avril's got her blue eyes on an acting career. She’ll make her voice acting debut in “Over the Hedge," based on a comic strip (with William Shatner and Bruce Willis) and will appear in “Fast Food Nation,” yes, based on the book, starring Ethan Hawke and Greg Kinnear, to be directed by that aging slacker Richard Linklater.
But right now, Avril's enjoying Gay Paree. Wonder if she’ll show up at the big Paris AIDS gala, SIDACTION 2006, Wednesday night as Karl's date. Lavigne has told friends that she’s always wanted to meet Lagerfeld. Maybe she shouldn’t have waited so long. Frankly, he’s half the man he used to be after a drastic diet that’s left him looking like Lurch from “The Addams Family.” If Lurch wore neck-hiding ascots and high white starched collars.
