Coco Chanel
As 1971 began, Chanel was 87 years old, tired, and ailing. She carried out her usual routine of preparing the spring catalogue. She had gone for a long drive the afternoon of Saturday, 9 January. Soon after, feeling ill, she went to bed early. She died on Sunday, 10 January 1971, at the Hotel Ritz, where she had resided for more than 30 years.
Her funeral was held at the Église de la Madeleine; her fashion models occupied the first seats during the ceremony and her coffin was covered with white flowers—camellias, gardenias, orchids, azaleas and a few red roses. She died in her infamous style, announcing: "You see, this is how you die."
Beware of Young Girls
In the Kappa House, Chanel (Emma Roberts) organizes a funeral for Chanel #2 (Ariana Grande), as her parents ironically go on a cruise to celebrate their daughter's confirmed death. Chanel gives a scathing eulogy, calling her multiple curse words as she felt that Chanel #2 never had her back and that she slept with Chad (Glen Powell) (Even though all Chanels did the same behind Chanel's back). Concerned for their leader, Chanel #3 (Billie Lourd), Chanel #5 (Abigail Breslin), and Hester/Chanel #6 (Lea Michele) bring a Ouija Board for them all to contact #2 from beyond the grave. Thinking that was ridiculous at first, Chanel decides to go along with it. Chanel #2 answers various questions via the Ouija Board, up until she tells them that Chad is cheating on Chanel, which angers Chanel. Chanel wants to prove her wrong. Chanel walks into the Dickie's house, calling for Chad until she walks into his room and catches him shirtless with a goat on his bed. At first, she thinks that he was having sex with the goat, but Chad then explains that he's lactose intolerant and his reason for having the goat is that goat's milk is lactose free. Chanel apologizes, realizing that Chanel #2 was lying, as Chad says that she's just angry because she's dead.
