Alright, so this whole thing about figuring out the model in a Chanel commercial, it wasn’t exactly a planned research project, you know? It just sort of happened. I was watching some TV, minding my own business, and then this Chanel ad came on. You know how they are – all dreamy and stylish. And the model, wow, she really caught my eye. I thought, “Who is that?”
The Initial Itch
So, the first thing I did, like anyone else I guess, was a quick search. I grabbed my phone and typed something vague like “Chanel commercial model” or “model in new Chanel perfume ad.” And man, the results were all over the place. Some were old articles, some were lists of “famous Chanel faces” but not the one I just saw. It was a bit of a dead end at first.
I figured I needed to be more specific. What was the ad for? A perfume? A bag? What did the model look like? Hair color, any distinguishing features? I tried to recall the details. Sometimes these ads flash by so quickly.
Getting Down to Business
My next step was to try and find the actual commercial online. YouTube is usually pretty good for that. So I searched for “Chanel commercial” and added the year, or what I guessed was the year. It took a bit of scrolling. Chanel has a lot of commercials, let me tell you.
I watched a few, thinking, “Is it this one? No, not her.” It felt a bit like a detective game. I started paying more attention to the product being advertised in the ad that stuck in my mind. Was it Chanel No. 5? Coco Mademoiselle? Bleu de Chanel (though that’s usually a guy, obviously)? Pinpointing the exact product helped narrow things down quite a bit.
Once I found the specific commercial, or at least one that looked very much like it, I paused it a lot. Looked at the model’s features closely. Sometimes, in the comments section below the video, someone else might have already asked the same question: “Who is the model?” And sometimes, just sometimes, someone knowledgeable would reply with a name. That’s like striking gold.
Confirmation and The “Aha!” Moment
If I got a name from the comments, or maybe from a fashion blog that discussed the campaign (those can be super helpful too!), my next step was to verify it. So, I’d take that name and pop it into a search engine, along with “Chanel.”
This is where you usually get the confirmation. You start seeing images of that model from that specific Chanel campaign, or other articles talking about her role with Chanel. Sometimes, I’d look up the model on sites like * or even see if they had a public Instagram profile that showed their work. It’s all about cross-referencing.
- Searched for the commercial itself.
- Scrutinized the comments sections.
- Looked for fashion blogs or news articles about the campaign.
- Once I had a potential name, I searched for that model specifically with “Chanel.”
And then, there it was. The “aha!” moment. “Yep, that’s her!” It’s a small victory, but satisfying nonetheless.
What I Reckon From All This
It sounds like a lot of effort for something pretty trivial, right? But it’s more about the curiosity, I guess. You see a face, it makes an impression, and you just want to put a name to it. It’s also pretty interesting to see who these brands choose to represent them. It’s not always the super famous ones you already know.
So yeah, that was my little journey into finding out who the model in a Chanel commercial was. Started with a fleeting image on TV and ended with a name and a bit more insight into how these campaigns come together, or at least, who’s in them. It’s funny the little rabbit holes you can go down when something catches your eye.
