HER mum is an androgynous screen icon with many classic red carpet looks to her name.
And the A-list star’s outfit for the Chanel show at Paris Fashion Week yesterday was one to add to the collection.

Tilda Swinton’s red, black and cream checked midi dress resembled Eddie Van Halen’s classic 80s Frankenstrat guitar.
The Scottish star, 65, arrived holding hands with daughter Honor, 28, who looked stylish, yet more reserved, in a black ensemble.
Honor’s outfit consisted of a bomber jacket and pencil shirt with a pair of black Chanel heels.
Tilda has two children with her late playwright ex John Byrne, 83: twins Honor and Xavier.

The former couple split in 2005 after 14 years together but maintained a close friendship.
Tilda is now in a relationship with German visual artist Sandro Kopp, 47, after meeting on the set of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Actress Honor is following in her mum’s footsteps and made her screen debut with a non-speaking cameo in Tilda’s 2009 film I Am Love, playing her mum’s younger self.
It was 10 years before she’d appear in another film, starring in Joanna Hogg’s Souvenir.
She won the London Critics Film Circle award for Young British/Irish Performer of the Year in 2020 and, in 2023, she starred as Lola Airedale-Cavendish-Kincaid in an episode of Netflix’s The Crown.
Though Tilda is a huge source of inspiration to her daughter, the actress said it is she who learns from her children in an interview with the Huffington Post.
Discussing the “right way to live”, she said: “They are teaching me, what can I say. They know much more about the right way.
“I think that, and maybe this is also true for ourselves, keeping out of the way of that part of yourself, and in your children, that really knows a sense of moral integrity, but knows a sense of honesty, try to clear the weeds away from it — that’s the thing.
“They are pretty clear, my children, I’m pretty proud of that, but that’s them. They have a strong sense of perspective.”
