Lily James' low-slung Chanel jorts are the 2025 trend we never saw coming
Certain brands are synonymous with certain silhouettes. Mugler and sculptural jackets, Dior and lace gowns and Dolce & Gabbana and corseted bustiers to name a few. Chanel is one house associated with a plethora of themes, from bouclé to gold buttons. A design the maison does not tend to champion? Jorts.
Well, Lily James put that theory to the test earlier this week. The British actress attended the Charles Finch & Chanel Pre-BAFTA Dinner at 5 Hertford Street, looking brilliant as ever in all black.
