About Chiara Ferragni
Chiara Ferragni (handle @chiaraferragni) is an Italian entrepreneur and fashion creator who built one of Europe's earliest and most influential personal-style platforms, beginning with her blog The Blonde Salad in 2009 before pivoting to Instagram as her primary channel. She parlayed influencer status into a namesake fashion label and mainstream luxury collaborations with houses including Dior and Moncler. Her trajectory shifted sharply in late 2023 when Italian regulator AGCM fined her over €1 million for misleading charity claims attached to a Pandoro-gate branded product campaign — a case that escalated into an aggravated fraud trial in Milan still ongoing as of mid-2026. Despite losing several major brand partnerships in the fallout, she has since re-established a portfolio of premium luxury sponsors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Chiara Ferragni's real name?
Her full name is Chiara Ferragni — she operates professionally under her own name and has done so since her blogging career began. She was born on 7 May 1987 in Cremona, Italy.
What is Pandoro-gate and why was Chiara Ferragni fined?
In late 2023, Italy's competition authority AGCM fined Ferragni over €1 million for misleading consumers about charitable donations linked to a branded Pandoro product and an Easter egg campaign. The regulator found that shoppers were led to believe a share of proceeds went directly to charities, which was not the case. The scandal triggered the loss of several major brand partnerships and significant reputational damage.
Is Chiara Ferragni facing criminal charges?
Yes. As of 2025–2026, Ferragni faces trial in Milan on charges of aggravated fraud related to the same Pandoro and Easter egg charity campaigns that prompted the AGCM fine. The criminal proceedings are separate from the regulatory fine. The trial was ongoing as of mid-2026.
Did Chiara Ferragni and Fedez divorce?
Ferragni and rapper Fedez (Federico Leonardo Lucia) announced their separation in early 2024 after approximately seven years together, including their 2018 wedding. The split came during a period of intense public and legal pressure on Ferragni following the Pandoro-gate scandal. Formal divorce proceedings have been widely reported in Italian media.
Which brands dropped Chiara Ferragni after the scandal?
Following the Pandoro-gate fallout in 2024, Ferragni lost partnerships with Safilo, Coca-Cola, and Pigna, among others. The departures represented a significant reduction in her commercial portfolio at the time. She has since rebuilt relationships with luxury houses including Dior, Lancôme, Moncler, and Pomellato.

The mix is concentrated in the luxury fashion, fine jewelry, prestige beauty, and high-end automotive verticals.

What engagement rate does Chiara Ferragni achieve on Instagram?

What is The Blonde Salad?
The Blonde Salad was the personal style blog Ferragni launched in 2009 while studying law in Milan, widely credited as one of Italy's pioneering fashion-influencer properties. It later evolved into a full creative and e-commerce platform. The blog's success established Ferragni as a template for fashion creators who later built multi-platform businesses.
What content does Chiara Ferragni post across her platforms?
Her output centres on personal style, luxury fashion, and lifestyle content, with Instagram serving as the flagship channel for editorial imagery, Reels, and brand campaigns. TikTok carries shorter-form, more candid content that draws notably strong engagement relative to her following there. YouTube hosts longer sponsored integrations and documentary-style personal content.
