Chanel’s 2026 advertising continues the brand’s tradition of using actors, musicians and models as visual storytellers. The CHANEL 25 campaign stars Margot Robbie and includes a special appearance by Kylie Minogue, while the COCO CRUSH campaign features JENNIE, Gracie Abrams and an international model ensemble.
Margot Robbie – CHANEL 25
Margot Robbie stars in Chanel’s 2026 CHANEL 25 handbag campaign.
The campaign was directed by Michel Gondry and visually references Kylie Minogue’s “Come Into My World” music video. Robbie appears in a stylish city setting, encountering multiple versions of herself as the campaign turns the handbag into part of a playful cinematic world.
Robbie’s performance relies less on dialogue and more on movement, expression and screen presence. That makes the commercial feel closer to a short fashion film than a traditional advertisement.
Kylie Minogue – CHANEL 25 Cameo
Kylie Minogue makes a special appearance in the CHANEL 25 campaign.
Her cameo is significant because the campaign is inspired by her famous “Come Into My World” music video. By including Minogue, Chanel connects the new Margot Robbie campaign directly to the pop-culture source that influenced its visual concept.
The result is a campaign that works both as a handbag advertisement and as a stylish tribute to a memorable music-video moment.
JENNIE – COCO CRUSH
JENNIE of BLACKPINK appears in Chanel’s 2026 COCO CRUSH fine-jewelry campaign.
JENNIE has long been associated with Chanel, and her presence gives the campaign immediate global visibility among fashion and music fans.
Her performance is understated and image-driven. Like many luxury-fashion commercials, the COCO CRUSH campaign depends on small gestures, glances and mood rather than heavy dialogue.
Gracie Abrams – COCO CRUSH
Gracie Abrams also appears in the 2026 COCO CRUSH campaign.
Abrams brings a softer, intimate screen presence to the commercial, fitting the campaign’s theme of memorable encounters and personal connection.
Her casting also shows how Chanel uses musicians not merely as endorsers, but as performers who help shape the emotional tone of the advertisement.
Whitney Peak – Coco Mademoiselle
Whitney Peak is one of Chanel’s modern Coco Mademoiselle faces.
The actress is known for Gossip Girl and Hocus Pocus 2. Her Coco Mademoiselle campaign presents a younger, contemporary version of Chanel glamour while continuing the fragrance’s long association with stylish, charismatic actresses.

Timothée Chalamet – Bleu de Chanel
Timothée Chalamet became the face of Bleu de Chanel, one of the brand’s most visible men’s fragrance campaigns.
His casting reflects Chanel’s interest in performers who bring both youth appeal and serious cinematic credibility.
Chalamet’s campaign uses mood, movement and atmosphere rather than a conventional sales pitch, which fits Chanel’s broader luxury-advertising style.

Brad Pitt – Chanel No. 5
Brad Pitt made advertising history when he became one of the first major male stars associated with Chanel No. 5.
The campaign was minimalist and poetic, relying on Pitt’s voice, presence and celebrity status rather than a conventional perfume-commercial narrative.
His Chanel campaign remains one of the most discussed celebrity fragrance commercials of the 2010s.

Keira Knightley – Coco Mademoiselle
Keira Knightley is one of the actresses most strongly associated with Coco Mademoiselle.
Her campaigns helped define the fragrance as elegant, rebellious and romantic. Knightley’s Chanel image relied on classic movie-star glamour while still feeling modern and independent.
She remains one of the most recognizable Chanel fragrance performers.
Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard and Gisele Bündchen – Chanel No. 5
Chanel No. 5 has featured several major stars, including Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard and Gisele Bündchen.
Each campaign used a slightly different version of luxury storytelling. Kidman’s campaign leaned into cinematic romance. Cotillard’s campaign used elegance and movement. Bündchen’s campaign combined fashion, celebrity and modern lifestyle imagery.
Together, these performers helped keep Chanel No. 5 associated with global star power.
Why Chanel Uses Famous Actors and Musicians
Chanel does not use celebrity casting the same way many everyday brands do.
Instead of simply hiring famous people to explain a product, Chanel often builds short films around performers who already represent a particular kind of style, mood or cultural identity.
That is why Chanel commercials often feel cinematic. The actors and musicians are not just spokespersons; they function as symbols of the world Chanel wants the audience to enter.
Acting Breakdown: What Makes Chanel Commercials Different?
Chanel commercials usually demand a different kind of performance from traditional insurance, retail or food advertising.
Rather than explaining product benefits through dialogue, performers must communicate luxury through stillness, movement, posture, expression and atmosphere.
In a Chanel commercial, a glance can matter as much as a line of dialogue. That is why performers such as Margot Robbie, JENNIE, Whitney Peak, Keira Knightley and Timothée Chalamet are effective: they can hold attention visually while allowing the product to remain central.
