Pharrell Williams put on the Ritz for Chanel’s scintillating mid-season Métiers d’Art fashion show – donning pearls on the “Cafe Society” catwalk at the restaurant of the newly refurbished Ritz Paris.

The singer, who called the experience surreal, got cheers as he weaved, in a long tweed coat, between the dinner tables of well-heeled VIPs, who included actresses Jada Pinkett-Smith, Willow Smith and Clemence Poesy, as well as singer Vanessa Paradis and South Korean superstar G-Dragon.

Williams was joined on the unusual catwalk by models such as Cara Delevingne, Georgia May Jagger and Lily-Rose Depp, who wore roses in their hair for the exuberant collection.

The fashion line-up featured shimmering, tight-waisted silhouettes with strong shoulders and rendered in navy and off-white with flashes of red and dazzling gold.

The designs evoked the “Cafe Society” evening dresses once worn at the storied hotel – with glimmering embroideries, sunray pleats and marabou and ostrich feathers.
