Why did Gigi Hadid accost a French YouTube star on the runway at Chanel’s show

Chanel’s Fashion IntruderAt the finale for the Chanel show, a guest resembling a Mary Poppins figure in tweed, identified as a French YouTuber and comedian Marie Benoliel, stood up and boldly walked onto the runway.

With a theatrical nod to confused spectators, some of whom momentarily thought she was part of the presentation, Benoliel then started to strut down the rooftop runway with all the other models. Apart from the slightly dishevelled swagger in her walk, she almost blended in.

The catwalk-crasher moved so quickly that Chanel’s bewildered security team didn’t have time to catch up. Gigi Hadid, who put the “super” in supermodel, saved the day by apprehending the hat-wearing lady at the end of the podium. She and other models then escorted Benoliel off the roof.

Benoliel has done this before, according to her YouTube channel, on which she posted the Chanel stunt. She previously managed to get on stage at an Etam show with Cindy Bruna in lingerie.

She goes by the name Marie S’Infiltre on Instagram, meaning roughly “Mary gets inside” in French.
