Liking Pedro Pascal is easy. Arguably unavoidable if your phone is capable of connecting to Wi-Fi. But when Matthieu Blazy is part of the picture, things escalate quickly. Chanel has officially named the actor its new house ambassador, which, to many, felt less like news and more like a final alignment. Pascal had already done the rounds, Blazy’s Spring 2026 debut (with his sister Lux Pascal on the runway), then the Oscars red carpet, where an oversized Chanel camellia was almost strategically pinned to his chest.

Chanel bags and womenswear have been worn and carried like they were always meant for men anyway. We’ve seen A$AP Rocky do it, Jacob Elordi, Timothée Chalamet, Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, Pedro Pascal, of course, and that list is basically endless at this point. The double C just works on them, and the timing has lined up pretty well for that. But menswear isn’t in the works, and Chanel has already made that clear. As long as men get excited over tweed and pearls, the system doesn’t really change, but it sure gets more people in the queue for the same bag.

Those two recently had a bonding moment. “I love Matthieu’s vision, which I find powerful, elegant, and incredibly warm: it shows me how we could exist together, there’s something for everyone in his universe. I am happy and honored to join it and I am eager to see what Matthieu has planned for the future of Chanel. The House has a remarkable ability to honor its heritage while remaining modern and relevant, and I am excited to be part of that evolving story,” Pascal said in a statement.

“Pedro is a wonderful man and an incredible actor. His kindness, talent, and his vision of the world are both inviting and inspiring. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Chanel family and I’m happy to embark on this adventure together,” Blazy responded.
