Gigi Hadid makes rare catwalk appearance as she storms the Chanel runway in a chic black ensemble at star-studded Paris Fashion Week show

Gigi Hadid made a rare catwalk appearance as she stormed the Chanel runway on Tuesday.

The model, 28, cut a chic figure in all black as she strutted her stuff during the star-studded Paris Fashion Week show.

Mother-of-one Gigi used to be a common sight on the fashion week catwalks but has taken a step back in recent months. 

For the Chanel show Gigi wore a long black knitted dress with a sheer skirt that was teamed with a series of gold necklaces. 

She boosted her height with suede heeled boots and accessorised with statement gold earrings and a silk ribbon in her hair.

She also wore a belt slung low on her waist and held a classic black quilted Chanel bag. 

The stars were out in force at the hottest ticket in town, the Chanel Paris Fashion Week show at the Grand Palais on Tuesday. 

And all eyes were on Penelope Cruz, 49, who was channeling the 80s in a leather mini skirt suit which she wore with a beaded belt and a collared top. 

Sporting a short, sharp bob, she wore killer heels with an ankle strap and dark sunglasses as she waved to the crowds. 

Of course, she was carrying the must-have Chanel classic quilted bag in her hand. 

She was in good company on the day because Margaret Qualley, 29, was also present and wore a bouclé mustard long coat over a matching mini. 

Zoey Deutch, 29, looked incredible sporting her short blonde pixie cut and a belted tweed coat which was worn as a dress.

And Vanessa Paradis, 51, the muse of the late, great fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld looked incredible in a 70s style blouse and jeans.

Lagerfeld worked at Chanel up until his death on February 19, 2019. The same day, the house name his longtime right-hand, Virginie Viard, as its new artistic director.

Chanel stuck to its signature classic styles, with lilac, black and white being key colour themes. 

Elvis's granddaughter Riley Keough, 34, wore a back tweed jacket over a printed dress.

Riley signed up as the new face of Chanel back in October when Chanel confirmed the actress will be part of its upcoming spring 2024 campaign.

She was in the City of Love back in July too as she attended Chanel's haute couture display, while she was also around for the brand's cruise 2023 show in Los Angeles two months earlier. 

She has deeper links to the fashion house too, as she is good friends with longtime Chanel ambassador Kristen Stewart after they appeared together in 'The Runaways'. 

Kristen recently heaped praise on Riley, who has appeared in the likes of 'The Terminal List', 'Mad Max: Fury Road' and 'American Honey'.

Speaking in the September issue of Vanity Fair magazine, she said: 'She's the best thing in everything she's done. Because she's not acting. She's a solid sender.

'She's always being honest, and that's a vulnerable place to put yourself.

'And I don't mean that to belittle any project, but there are some actors that just can't do anything uninteresting.'

Meanwhile, Riley previously described her own fashion sense as 'malleable' and 'inconsistent'.
