Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi are now not just beautiful humans but also beautiful humans in a Chanel ad! Chanel No. 5 said, “Let’s get these hotties on screen,” and voilà, here we are. Directed by none other than Luca Guadagnino (the man who made us cry over peaches), this ad feels like a chic version of a rom-com where things almost happen — but not quite.
The Plot (a.k.a. Chanel: The Movie, But Shorter)
So here’s how the high-fashion drama unfolds: Margot, looking iconic as ever, sends Jacob a text, casually dropping a “See you at five,” because why not keep it mysterious? Jacob, being the adrenaline-junkie heartthrob that he is, responds the only way he knows — by hopping on a motorcycle. Yes, because when a text comes through, the natural next step is rev up your Ducati.
Meanwhile, Margot spritzes herself with Chanel No. 5 (because why smell like anything else?), slips into a blazing red blazer and miniskirt combo, and zooms off to meet Jacob. But plot twist: They do that classic “Oops, I went to your place, and you went to mine” rom-com shuffle. Adorably tragic.
Does Margot cry about this logistical disaster? No, ma’am. She’s not here for petty disappointments. Instead, she changes into a red swimsuit — because that’s the logical next step — and dives into the water. Chanel, baby. You miss a date? You swim about it.
Chanel Declares: Margot Robbie Is the New Face of No. 5!
In a very deep Instagram post (because perfume ads are nothing if not philosophically profound), Chanel proclaims, “A rendez-vous. Margot Robbie is not just any woman—she’s a woman who refuses to be just another number. What will you choose? N°5 IS THE ANSWER.” Yep, forget 42 — the meaning of life has officially been updated to “Chanel No. 5.”
Margot on the Magic of Red and Powerful Perfume
In an interview with Vogue (because where else would a perfume muse discuss their philosophy?), Margot says, “Red is just so… red, you know? It’s passionate, it’s strong. Just like the fragrance.” Deep stuff. And if you thought the only struggle Australians face is kangaroo traffic, Margot is here to tell you about the real challenge: mastering effortless beauty.
“Back home, we’re all about effortless, but, like, in a ‘Yeah, I just rolled out of bed’ way,” Margot explains. “The French do effortless beauty too, but in a ‘Yes, I woke up like this perfectly coordinated’ kind of way.” It’s a game we’re all losing, apparently, but Chanel No. 5 is here to help.
P.S. They’ll Be Back Together on Screen Soon
If you thought this Chanel ad was the peak of Margot-Jacob chemistry, you’ll be happy to know they’re reuniting for a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights (because obviously the next logical step after perfume ads is… tortured Victorian love stories). Directed by Emerald Fennell, expect brooding stares, dramatic storms, and maybe even some accidental Chanel spritzing.
Luxury, romance, and motorcycles, all wrapped in the scent of Chanel No. 5. If only all our missed connections smelled this fabulous.
