Who is Marie Benoliel? The Chanel show prankster Gigi Hadid had to march off the catwalk

This isn't the first time 'Marie S'Infiltre' has hopped onstage during fashion week

Have you ever dreamed of walking a Paris runway, perhaps even practising your own patented fashion week stomp from the comfort of your home to prepare the day when it inevitably happens?

French YouTuber and comedian Marie Benoliel, who is fittingly known as Marie S'Infiltre on Instagram, infiltrated the exclusive Chanel runway show, only to be firmly escorted off the catwalk by one Gigi Hadid.

A number of fashion editors in the audience were amused by her performance - after all, it's the end of fashion month and they're in need of entertainment.

Security didn't escort Marie Benoliel off the runway immediately as she fit right in, wearing a Chanel-inspired tweed suit paired with a black hat.

But this isn't the first time Marie S'Infiltre (roughly translating to 'Marie makes it in') has jumped onstage at a fashion show.

She previously hopped onstage at the Etam show with Cindy Bruna clad in sparkly lingerie, which she showed off on Instagram to her 197,000 followers (the number is sure to grow after people watch Hadid escort her offstage). She has 227,000 YouTube subscribers.

She later posted a YouTube video about her gatecrashing.

Her message translates (roughly) as, "Scroll close to the biggest, most beautiful, the most sexy! Here I am a model for a few minutes, yes... I infiltrated, smoothly, the catwalk at the ETAM SHOW!"

In a post-show interview with Women's Wear Daily, Cardi B, clad in a Chanel tweed suit, said she "loved the show but got a little scared when homegirl flew out there."

Marie currently has a one woman show on the Champs-Élysées if you're interested in seeing more of her antics. Hopefully, homegirl doesn't fly into the audience.
