The fashion industry came to expect a spectacle during the finale of Chanel Haute Couture shows, with the late Karl Lagerfeld sending a supermodel or two down the runway in extravagant wedding gowns yearly.
The Spring/Summer 2021 show was no different. During the Paris Fashion Week event, Virginie Viard, who took over as creative director of Chanel after Lagerfeld died in 2019, introduced this year's bride, Lola Nicon, on a majestic white horse.

The model wore a satin wedding gown embroidered with rhinestone-and-pearl butterflies and a tulle veil as she rode side-saddle down the runway accompanied by a horse trainer.
After the show, Nicon posted a photo of the horse and thanked everyone for making Viard's vision come to life in the caption.
"I knew we couldn't organize a big show, that we would have to invent something else, so I came up with the idea of a small cortege that would come down the stairs of the Grand Palais and pass beneath arches of flowers," the designer told Marie Claire UK.
Only a select few brand ambassadors had attended the event due to the coronavirus pandemic including Penélope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Vanessa Paradise, and daughter Lily-Rose Depp.
