Even the most casual Gracie Abrams fans know that she’s a Chanel girlie through and through.
Since bursting into the spotlight, the singer and Vogue cover star—whose third studio album, Daughter From Hell, drops tomorrow—has wasted no time becoming a go-to face of the French label. On the red carpets, she’s recently worn many of Matthieu Blazy’s beloved new creations—and this week, she was formally announced as a Chanel Beauty ambassador. It’s no wonder, then, that she was also spotted in New York City today repping her new gig in full double-Cs.
Doing some last-minute promo for the album, Abrams stepped out wearing a full look from Chanel’s resort 2027 collection. It was all about doing color-blocking the 2026 way: The star wore a sleeveless, black-trimmed frock that was cream up top, and bright green on the bottom. She even added another pop of color with her bright blue shoulder bag, which had a croc-like finish.

Consider it her take on a persisting fashion trend. Devoted runway followers will remember that color-blocking had a major moment back in the 2010s, when brands like Gucci and Jil Sander set off the movement of pairing ultra-brights—green with pink! red with orange!—together in one outfit. While the fad has since ebbed and flowed in fashion, the look has come back in a big way this year. Labels such as Michael Rider’s Celine—or cool, emerging brands such as Auralee and Lii—have revived the look, pairing primary colors together in a way that feels surprisingly fresh and modern.
The key to pulling off color-blocking, as proven by Abrams and the aforementioned fashion shows? It all lies in the silhouette and proportions. These days, it’s less about blinding you with every single hue thrown haphazardly together, and more about picking one grounding color—in Abrams’s case, green—and introducing another bright—here, blue—in a more subtle way as a contrast it. Together, they pack a punch in a way that’s still refined and elegant, not overwhelming and chaotic. Think: Less in-your-face clashing, more tasteful clashing.
But enough with all of that: If you’ll be streaming the singer’s new album tonight at midnight, raise your hand. (We are raising them high.)
