Under Matthieu Blazy’s direction, the house has officially entered its Pedro Pascal era. On Monday, the maison confirmed that Pedro Pascal has been named its newest house ambassador, formalizing a relationship that has been quietly building over the past year.
The announcement, made via the actor’s social channels, cements Pascal’s place within Chanel’s evolving cultural orbit as it sharpens its image under creative director Matthieu Blazy.
The alignment has been long in the making. Pascal first signaled his affinity with the house at the 98th Academy Awards in Los Angeles, where he opted for Chanel on the red carpet—an early indication of mutual interest between actor and atelier.
Months earlier, he appeared at Blazy’s debut Chanel show for Spring 2026, staged at the Grand Palais in Paris, a moment that now reads less like a guest appearance and more like a prelude.
Since stepping into the role, Blazy has been recalibrating the house’s codes, balancing heritage with a sharper, more contemporary cultural lens. Pascal, whose career has surged across prestige television and blockbuster cinema, embodies that same duality: classic movie star appeal with modern, internet-era magnetism.
This chapter promises to be exciting.
