Nico Parker, star of 'The Last of Us' and daughter of Thandiwe Newton, attended her first fashion show with Chanel.
As introductions to fashion week go, joining Penélope Cruz and co on the front row at the Chanel show in Paris is about as good as it gets. “I’ve had the ultimate first fashion week experience,” agrees Nico Parker over the phone from the Eurostar, as she heads back to London after a whirlwind 24 hours across the Channel. The 18-year-old star of“is a legend”, she confirms), was whisked to Paris to see Virginie Viard’s autumn/winter 2023 collection – and outfitted by Chanel for the occasion.
Parker wore a black blazer dress embellished with white flowers from spring/summer 2023, accessorised with a dinky red chain handle Chanel bag. “I tried to steal it, but they wouldn’t let me!” she jokes. The simple look chimed with Nico’s personal style: “I felt really comfortable, chic but not too dressed up,” she says. “My usual uniform is a pair of Levi’s 501s and any T-shirt that I can muster, and then the shoe is interchangeable.
Nico had a chance to see the freshest interpretations of those classics up close in Paris on Tuesday. “The show was incredible,” she says. “I honestly don’t have the words to describe it. I desperately wanted every single accessory…” It’s likely Parker inherited this penchant for Chanel quilting from her mum, former British. “She’s always had their bags and dresses, so as soon as Chanel could possibly be on my radar, it was.
Newton is fairly relaxed about her teenage daughter raiding her designer wardrobe, according to Nico, who also has an older sister, Ripley, and a little brother, Booker. “She actually loves it, I think. The only thing that annoys her is when she never sees them again. She has this amazing vintage gold and black Chanel dress, and that is now mine.”
Nico has lots to look forward to following her brief sojourn in Paris, including the release of her forthcoming film,, in which she stars alongside Laura Linney and Woody Harrelson. Plus, the “intense but wonderful” buzz around, a post-apocalyptic drama based on the 2013 video game, shows no signs of dying down. But the actor has something else at the top of her to-do list when the Eurostar deposits her back in London: “Patti Smith was at the show, which was a monumental moment for me.
