Margaret Qualley is back at Paris Fashion Week and her return was good as gold. 

The Poor Things star, 29, found her way back to the catwalk at the Chanel Haute Couture spring/summer 2024 show on Tuesday. 

Qualley, who’s the daughter of Andie MacDowell and Paul Qualley, was a spitting image of her famous parents, also models, as she strutted down the runway in an all-white outfit (save for the black shoes!).

The ensemble was quite different from the Emmy-nominated actress’ everyday style, featuring a jacket with a ruffled collar, a midi skirt, white tights and black heels. However, the Chanel ambassador was instantly recognizable with her brunette hair and strong eyebrows. 

The fashion house teased Qualley's runway look — and the haute couture show — on Instagram a few days ago with a video starring the actress and friend of the house Naomi Campbell. With the tale of "The Button," scored by Kendrick Lamar, Chanel takes viewers through a fashion emergency so elegant that it could only be told by such a brand. Qualley then brought it to life on the runway in Paris.

Qualley, who made her modeling debut at 16 for Alberta Ferretti, last walked for Chanel couture on July 6, 2021. Then, she looked breathtaking in a white bridal-style gown and face-covering veil. 

Two years later, she turned into an actual bride at her own wedding to music producer Jack Antanoff on Aug. 19, 2023.

As expected, Qualley wore Chanel from head to toe. She beamed in a pearly white halter-neck dress with a bow in the back, as well as white flats. 

The couple’s New Jersey nuptials were attended by Zoë Kravitz, Channing Tatum, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, as well as Qualley’s mother and father and Antonoff’s father, Rick.

Qualley and Antonoff got engaged in May 2022. A source confirmed the news to PEOPLE after Qualley sparked speculation earlier that same month when she was spotted wearing a diamond sparkler on her left ring finger at the Cannes Film Festival. The pair began dating in the summer of 2021.

Throughout their relationship, Qualley has collaborated with Antonoff and his band, Bleachers. In December she made a cameo in the visuals for their song “Alma Mater,” and more recently, she joined her husband in the music video for “Tiny Moves” — and of course, she wore white.
