While A-listers descended on Paris, actresses Florence Pugh and Naomi Ackie were lured 30 miles north of the city to the Château de Chantilly, where Valentino used the building's majestic front steps and perfectly manicured gardens to show its autumn 2023 looks.

"Well done to all who graced those steps, unbelievably beautiful show," said Don't Worry Darling star Florence, who turned heads off the runway in a sheer lavender gown as she debuted an eye-catching Barbie-pink buzz cut.
