Ayo Edebiri is officially stepping into the spotlight of luxury fashion. The Emmy-winning actor, writer, and director has been named the newest House Ambassador for Chanel and the first under Matthieu Blazy’s creative direction, Hypebeast reports. The announcement arrives just in time for Blazy’s highly anticipated debut collection during Paris Fashion Week, marking a new era for the iconic French house.
Known for her standout performances in The Bear and After the Hunt, Edebiri has become one of Hollywood’s most captivating voices. She blends humor, honesty, and originality in everything she does. Her partnership with Chanel feels like a natural fit for someone whose personal style is as sharp and multidimensional as her storytelling.
The collaboration was sparked by Edebiri and Blazy’s mutual admiration, who praised her as a creative force that defies limits.
“Nothing can stop her. I admire her boldness, her beauty, her intellect, and her choice of artistic projects,” Blazy said.
Edebiri, who’s recently been turning heads on red carpets from Venice to New York in Chanel designs, shared that the fashion house brings out her confidence while allowing her to stay true to herself.
“His looks give me confidence, but I still feel like myself. I am so happy to be embarking on this adventure with Matthieu and Chanel,” she said.
As she prepares to attend Blazy’s inaugural Spring/Summer 2026 show at the Grand Palais in Paris, Edebiri continues to embody what this new chapter for Chanel represents: fearless creativity, wit, and an unwavering sense of individuality.
With her bold energy and Blazy’s visionary leadership, this partnership feels like more than a fashion move. It is a moment redefining what elegance and authenticity look like in 2025.
