Lupita Nyong’o looks chic in a boucle top and shorts at the Chanel in Paris

Lupita Nyong’o looked chic as she attended the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show on Tuesday after a week of unrest in the city.

The Black Panther star, 40, wore a purple bouclé top with gold buttons down the front and matching designer shorts.

The French fashion house has decided to go ahead with its Fall/Winter 2023/2024 haute couture showcase despite Paris being rocked by protests for six nights after a 17-year-old boy was shot dead at close range by a police officer during a traffic stop .

Lupita continued to rock her freshly shaved head, accessorizing with large cat-eye sunglasses.

To complete her look, the actress increased her height with a pair of black satin heels and wore a classic Chanel handbag.

She was joined at the event by Kendrick Lamar, who put on a stylish show in a white boucle jacket.

The musician paired his look with loose-fitting jeans emblazoned with the Chanel logo and a bandana.

Elsewhere, Vanessa Paradis opted for a floral print camisole and matching pants, sporting a pair of gold boots as she sat in the front row with Lupita.

Virginie Viard, creative director of Chanel, designed the collection with models that came out in boucle combinations and floral dresses.

Paris Fashion Haute Couture Week started on Monday, but the city has been rocked by six nights of protests after Nahel M was shot dead in a Parisian suburb on Tuesday.

Celine canceled their menswear show – which was off the official calendar – on Sunday due to the chaos that saw shops looted, cars set on fire and fighting erupting in the streets.

Celine designer Hedi Slimane said it was “inconsiderate” to put on a fashion show while Paris was “sad and bruised.”

Thousands have been arrested since the protests began, and some 45,000 officers have been deployed across the country to quell the unrest.

The intensity of the protests eased somewhat on Sunday night, when the grandmother of teenage shooting victim Nahel M. called on citizens to demonstrate peacefully and to stop the violence.

But tensions remain high, especially in the suburbs of cities such as Paris, Marseille and Lyon.

For now, the French government has refrained from declaring a state of emergency, although Macron yesterday postponed the first state visit by a French president to Germany in 23 years, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.

Although French authorities refuse to take extreme measures to calm protests, the FCDO has not officially discouraged travel to France.
