How old was Coco Chanel when she died?

Coco Chanel was 87 years old when she died.

She was born on 19 August 1883 and died on 10 January 1971 at the Hôtel Ritz Paris. Because her death occurred before her 88th birthday, she was 87 at the time. Her career had already lasted for more than six decades.

Chanel remained professionally active late in life. She returned to fashion in 1954 after a long absence and continued directing collections for her house until shortly before her death.

Some accounts describe her as having lived into her late eighties, which can lead to imprecise answers. The exact age calculated from her documented birth and death dates is 87.
