Margaret Qualley: ‘Karl Lagerfeld Taught Me How To Be Cool’

| Posted on 7 mins ago

When you’re Andie MacDowell’s daughter, you’ve modelled for Chanel and your latest role as the minx who seduces Brad Pitt inhas shot you straight to the top of young Hollywood’s most in-demand list, you’d forgive a touch of nonchalance from Margaret Qualley . Not so at this week’s Chanel Metiers d’Art show though, where she told Grazia she was overcome by the set – and the clothes.

Another reason for Margaret’s enthusiasm? That she was watching from the front row, rather than walking in the show – something she first did in 2011. ‘I was 16 and it was my first time to Paris alone and my first go-see was at Chanel – where I got booked to do the show,’ she remembered. ‘I was so excited but I’d never really walked before so I didn’t know what to do!’ Luckily Karl Lagerfeld was on hand.

She insists she hasn’t thought too much about the upcoming awards circuit, other than to know she’ll need her reassuring comforts: her family around her and a confidence-giving Chanel dress. ‘I’m not great on any red carpet so I try to bring my family, as I have done on this trip,’ she says. ‘My brother came with me to the Emmys. He lives in Montana and works on a ranch so it was really fun to have him there.

Luckily, in her first Metiers d’Art show since she took over from Karl in February, Virginie Viard has created a few more for Margaret to choose from. Our bet’s on the pieces emblazoned with the talismans Coco Chanel relied on – twin lions and sheaves of wheat to symbolise prosperity. Not that Margaret needs luck. But a bit of Coco Chanel’s spirit surely can’t hurt come awards season…
