At the end of the show, Keough stepped out in a black outfit with a flowing cape and walked around a large birdcage placed in the middle of the runway. According to Chanel, the birdcage was a nod to Gabrielle Chanel’s apartment at 31 rue Cambon in Paris, where she also had a decorative birdcage in her apartment.

She then entered the birdcage, sat on the swing in the middle, and continued performing. It was suspended above the audience as models returned down the runway for a last look at the collection, which included chiffon capes, slit skirts, wide pants, trench coats and more.

According to Chanel on its website, the collection was “an ode to freedom, delicacy, lightness and movement.”

In the past, Keough, a Chanel ambassador, showed off her singing talents on the hit limited series “Daisy Jones and the Six,” a story based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel about a young musician who began her fame while working with the rising band The Six.

Keough portrayed Jones in the series, which followed the rise and fall of a fictional band in Los Angeles in the 1970s. The film also starred Sam Claflin, Suki Waterhouse and more. The role earned Keough a 2023 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
