The music video for “Chanel” also became a major talking point in fashion circles. Styled by Tyla’s longtime collaborator Ron Hartleben, the visual featured  archival pieces from the luxury fashion house Chanel, including designs from the Karl Lagerfeld era. Among the standout items were the iconic white Chanel hula hoop bag from the brand’s 2013 Spring/Summer collection and vintage accessories previously worn by supermodels Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington.

Hartleben revealed in an interview with Vogue that getting the pieces was difficult and expensive.

“The rental costs for these things are astronomical,” he said, adding that many collectors trusted the team with “museum-quality pieces”.

“She’s wearing these belts that are each like $20,000 (over R16,000) at full retail,” he revealed. “I did have to sign my life away in case things broke. But nothing broke!”

“Chanel” has strengthened Tyla’s growing international presence. The track was number 94 on Billboard Hot 100 , becoming her third solo entry on the chart after “Water” and “Push 2 Start. In April 2026, the single earned Gold certification in the United States from the Recording Industry Association of America.
