LAS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The exhilarating voyage of Coco Chanel (Juliette Binoche), which was primarily down, has finally arrived at her objective in Apple TV+'s latest biographical series, 'The New Look'.

The series, which was created by Todd A. Kessler, showed how Coco dealt with criticism from the public for her connections to Germans and how, while living in seclusion in the Swiss Alps, she overcame the worst period of her life.

However, only two people genuinely supported her: Elsa Lombardi (Emily Mortimer) and her nephew André Palasse (Joseph Olivennes).

At first, it was established that Coco and Elsa shared a cold vibe, but as the show went on, a deep connection between the two became more obvious.

However, things seemed to take a tragic turn in episode 9, when Coco was left feeling heartbroken and regretful after Elsa's tragic death, as the previous night, Coco had given Elsa the go-ahead to move out.

So, what prompted Coco to urge Elsa to move out? Let's talk about what made Coco ask Elsa to move out.

Episode 9 demonstrated how difficult it is for Coco, who is in a terrible state, to hide her secret from her nephew. She worries that she will definitely lose André if he finds out about her relationships with Germans.

During a dinner with Andre, Elsa, and Hans Von Dincklage, Spatz (Claes Bang) Coco became anxious and stormed out of the restaurant, fearing that her secret would be discovered.

The fashion designer is followed by Elsa, and during their brief but heartfelt moment of solidarity, Elsa pushes Coco to reveal her German ties to André.

Coco was filled with rage over Elsa's persistent prodding and she finally lost her cool and demanded that she move out tomorrow morning.

Elsa's irresponsible drug use contributed to the rift between two friends. Elsa, who was ostracised by her royal family, was dealing with her own demons, and to cope, she turned to drugs, which ultimately made things worse.

She was seen repeatedly abusing drugs and acting as if her life depended on them. When her supply runs out, she gets desperate and winds up in jail, which irritates Coco and makes her angry.

Elsa's reckless and carefree lifestyle also annoyed Coco big time. Coco even begged Elsa numerous times to change her attitude, but she received no response.

Ultimately, Coco had enough of her careless and gullible mindset, which contributed to her already mounting issues.

It should be highlighted that, despite Coco's sadness and desire to apologize to her old friend, she was saddened by Elsa's untimely death and carried deep regrets with her.

'The New Look' is now streaming on Apple TV+
