During the Tribeca Film Festival every year, Chanel hosts an event that consistently sees chic women in film and other adjacent industries come together in their best French fashions from the brand. Stars of the screen such as Elizabeth Olsen, Lola Tung, and Dakota Fanning have all attended in the past, while Katie Holmes, Camila Mendes, Kathryn Newton, and Kerry Washington took to the triangle below Canal this year, showing up to Locanda Verde for the event in a slew of sleek and colorful Chanel ensembles. Another regular attendee is supermodel Christy Turlington, who, in my opinion, had the best look of the day at 2024's daytime get-together.

For this year's luncheon, Turlington went the casual-elegance route, pairing mid-wash, high-waisted jeans with brown-and-black cap-toe pumps, a white T-shirt, and the timeless jacket trend that will always look chic no matter what it's paired with. To be more specific, she wore a longline, collarless tweed jacket with CC-embossed buttons and two breast pockets in a super-light shade of purple. She accessorized with a beaded clutch and stud earrings that matched her jacket's buttons.
