When we caught up with Chloe Grace Moretz in October, the 14-year-old actress told us her mother didn’t allow her to buy designer clothes. That is still the case, she confirmed to InStyle.com this month, only with a few exceptions. “No, [I can’t buy designer clothes], but Chanel gave me my first two Chanel purses ever!” the Hugo star told us, shown here wearing a Chanel LBD. “One is the more modern version of the classic one. It’s got the accordion bottom and red interior. It’s beautiful! Then my other one is a little leather clutch. It’s so pretty and so classic. I love them.” So why is she so excited over her new luxury goods? “I love Chanel because it’s so classic and iconic. You can say Chanel to anyone in the world in any different language, and they’ll know what it is.” What a lucky teen!

Chanel‘s Karl Lagerfeld provided guests with a feast for the eyes and for the tastebuds during the luxe label’s Paris-Bombay Métiers d’Art show in the City of Light yesterday. Lagerfeld transformed the Grand Palais into an extravagant dinner party for the annual presentation, which pays tribute to the artisans and craftsmen behind the opulent designs. Models strode past the food-laden banquet tables in ensembles that blended classic Chanel touches like pearls and tweed with Indian-inspired textiles, embroidery and bejeweled accessories. “People have always responded to difficulty by dressing up in jewels,” Lagerfeld told The Telegraph when asked about his latest couture collection. “Fantasy is better than reality.” Watch the entire show above and click through the gallery to see Freida Pinto, Lady Gaga and more stars who love Chanel.

Michelle Monaghan scored her dream purse without breaking the bank. “This is a Chanel purse I just found at the Fairfax & Melrose flea market,” the actress told us of the dusty pink bag she wore to the launch of Irene Neuwirth’s diamond collection in Los Angeles this week. “It’s my dream to have a Chanel bag, but I just haven’t been able to suck it up and actually fork it over for one. When I found this, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. It was $80.” What a score! Tell us, what’s your favorite flea market find?

Chanel went under the sea for spring 2012! Creative director Karl Lagerfeld transformed the runway into an underwater wonderland, as he showed off Chanel suits and dresses done in every shade of the ocean, from white to aqua to pearl. The oyster gem also appeared on buttons, belts, and trim, and interpreted for swimwear as sexy white looks topped with plastic cover-ups. Even the accessories had a marine feel, with coral-covered bags and bracelets, iridescent sparkling clutches, and effortlessly chic flat sandals. Florence Welch closed the show with a theme-appropriate performance—she emerged from a clam on the catwalk. See our favorite looks in the gallery!
