Normally stars attending store openings look awkwardly stuffed into whatever is the brand’s latest looks but the Taiwan star gang that attended this week’s Chanel boutique opening in Taipei are all majorly rocking it.

What’s interesting could be quite unattractive and the tried and true pretty looks grow stale if repeated too often.
