Fake sparks flew and clouds of “exhaust” filled the stage as the Chanel rocket lifted off from the center of the runway to the tune of Elton John’s classic hit “Rocket Man.”

Models march around Launchpad No. 5 shortly after Chanel’s mock rocket lifted off. (It came to a halt before blasting through the glass ceiling of Paris’ iconic Grand Palais museum, thankfully.)

For fashionistas who are extremely into astronauts, Chanel unveiled several astronaut-print outfits, including this casual (and comfy-looking) shirt and pants.

Even astronauts need sunglasses to shield their eyes from bright sunlight. Just in case those EVA suits aren’t stylish enough, these shades will make you look like the coolest astronaut in your starfleet.

Saturn is arguably the most fashionable planet in the solar system with its gorgeous ring system, so Chanel made a sweater that’s completely covered in Saturn. It even depicts the shadow that Saturn casts on the rings. Kudos to Chanel for making Saturn look both stylish and accurate in this artistic top.

Space is cold, but this space blanket-style scarf is sure to keep your upper extremities insulated … and also turn some heads.

Black hole? Deep space? Whatever this dress is meant to depict, one thing’s for sure — it’s absolutely out of this world!

Why wear gloves when you can just stick your hands in a giant, fuzzy purse? Side bags are overrated. Plus this front-hanging purse matches perfectly with a shiny pair of moon boots.

If Chanel were in charge of designing actual EVA suits, astronauts might wear something that looks like this during spacewalks. The only thing missing from this model’s cosmic ensemble is a space helmet.

This metallic shorts suit looks completely out of this world. Shorts might not traditionally be the best wintertime wardrobe selection, but this outfit looks like it could keep you warm in the snow (and possibly blind those around you in the sun).
