Chanel has a royal love affair on its hands—and nope, Kate and Will aren’t involved!
On Monday, Nov. 24, Chanel released images and a quick video teaser via Instagram for the fashion house’s latest short film, the royal-minded Reincarnation, starring Cara Delevingne and Pharrell Williams. And the celebs are all costumed up to look every bit the prince and princess.
Set to premiere on Dec. 1, the night before the next Chanel Metiers d’Art collection debut in Salzburg, Reincarnation will feature Delevingne, 22, and Williams, 41, in what appears will be a number of clothing changes, including an old-school ball gown (and brunette wig!) for the Brit It-model.
As the pair prance around to an original Williams track—featuring Delevingne on vocals—they’ll tell the history of the iconic Chanel tweed jacket, as reimagined by creative director Karl Lagerfeld. Per the film, Coco Chanel (embodied by Geraldine Chaplin) spots a liftboy (Williams) at her Salzburg hotel in 1954 and immediately becomes enamored with his chic topper. No word yet on how the hotel staffer transforms into a noble or meets his lady, but if the first images are any indication, a glam tale is certainly in the works.
Delevingne, for one, seems extremely excited! The runway mainstay, who’s modeled for Chanel in the past, shared no less than four posts on the film via Instagram, including one romantic shot where she’s dancing with the Grammy winner. Teasing her fans, the supermodel captioned the shots, “It’s coming…” and “Are you ready for this?” topping each one off with emojis.
