Apple TV+ have certainly had their fair share of star-studded releases as of late, with the likes of The Crowded Room<\/a>, Lessons in Chemistry<\/a>, Silo<\/a> and The Morning Show<\/a> just some of the recent shows that have gotten people talking.<\/p>\n

But 2024 is already shaping up to be another stellar year for the streamer<\/a>, with The New Look set to be a historical series blending drama and style, as it follows the stories of fashion designers Christian Dior, Coco Chanel and their contemporaries as they navigated the Second World War.<\/p>\n

Now, we finally have our first look at the anticipated drama, which comes from Todd A Kessler (The Sopranos, Damages), and the cast, which is led by Ben Mendelsohn (Secret Invasion<\/a>) as Christian Dior and Juliette Binoche (The Staircase<\/a>) as Coco Chanel.<\/p>

The new images (which can be seen throughout this article) show Binoche\u2019s Chanel dressed up and arm-in-arm with Claes Bang as Spatz, while another sees Mendelsohn\u2019s Christian Dior looking intently at the camera as he looks to be in the midst of fashion sketches.<\/p>\n

In the images, we also get our first look at Maisie Williams (Game of Thrones) in her role as Catherine Dior, who was the sister of Christian and became known as a French resistance fighter during the Second World War.<\/p>\n

The cast also includes John Malkovich (Space Force) as Lucien Lelong, a prominent French couturier from the \u201920s to the \u201940s, and Emily Mortimer (The Newsroom) as Elsa Lombardi.<\/p>\n

The synopsis for the new series reads: \u201cSet against the World War II Nazi occupation of Paris, The New Look focuses on the pivotal moment in the 20th century when the French city led the world back to life through its fashion icon Christian Dior.\u201d<\/p>\n

It continues: \u201cAs Dior rises to prominence with his groundbreaking, iconic imprint of beauty and influence, Chanel\u2019s reign as the world\u2019s most famous fashion designer is put into jeopardy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe interwoven saga follows the surprising stories of Dior\u2019s contemporaries and rivals from Chanel to Pierre Balmain, Crist\u00f3bal Balenciaga and more, and provides a stunning view into the atelier, designs and clothing created by Christian Dior through collaboration with the House of Dior.\u201d<\/p>\n
