Apparently Blakely finds celebrities on the front row ‘tacky’ now; a real about-turn from her appearance alongside Anna Wintour at the last Couture show, and instead she will host a Press dinner in Paris to discuss her new role facing the handbag range.
Past ambassadors, like Lily Allen (who got spectacularly hands-on with that barn dance show), have had no qualm about sitting upfront. And at least as face of a product there’s an actual link- no one seeing Blake at Chanel would be surprised or disgruntled to see her, surely. Still, it’s only a rumour.
