Actress Debi Mazar, 61, was caught on camera looking visibly unimpressed as pop stars Charli XCX and Madonna smoked cigarettes beside her at the Saint Laurent menswear spring/summer 2027 show during Paris Fashion Week. The viral clip shows Mazar waving away smoke and asking, 'Are those cloves?' with what fans interpreted as restrained disgust.
Viral Exchange at Saint Laurent Show
In the footage, Charli, 33, and Madonna, 67, sit side-by-side posing for photos while smoking long, dark cigarettes. Mazar, seated next to Charli, grimaces and inquires about the cigarettes. Charli replies, 'These are Djarum,' referring to Djarum Black clove cigarettes, known for their strong odor. An off-camera voice jokes, 'Debi just wants a real cig,' to which Mazar retorts, 'Not in here!' with indignation.
Online Reactions Divided
The exchange sparked debate on social media. One viewer wrote, 'This would be my reaction too… cigarettes are disgusting, especially indoors.' Another agreed, 'Smoking publicly is so stupid! … don’t make it other’s problem.' However, some fans defended the pair, with one calling the smoking 'extremely beautiful' and another saying, 'This just made my day… the world is healing.' A user argued, 'They’re clearly only smoking for a photo op,' while a critic replied, 'Cigarette as a prop just gives me second hand embarrassment.'
Feud Rumors Dismissed
The appearance comes after weeks of speculation that Madonna and Charli had fallen out following Charli’s single Rock Music. In an interview with British Vogue, Charli said, 'I think the dance floor is dead, so now we’re making rock music,' which led Madonna to post, 'If your dance floor feels dead. Maybe you’re playing the wrong music.' Fans interpreted this as a dig, but neither artist addressed the rumors. At the Saint Laurent show, the pair were seen laughing together and later danced side-by-side to Madonna hits at an after-party, seemingly ending feud speculation.
Charli’s Upcoming Album
Charli is set to release her new album, Music, Fashion, Film, on July 24. The viral moment with Mazar may have created a new rift, but the pop star has yet to comment. Observers suggest a fruit basket and dry cleaning offer might help mend fences.
