A$AP Rocky and Margaret Qualley star as a couple embarking on a new chapter together in Chanel’s latest short film.
Released Sunday (Nov. 30), the surreal three-minute clip, directed by French filmmaker Michel Gondry, opens with the rapper, 37, and actress, 31, waking up together in bed before Qualley rushes off to a New York City subway.
Rocky sneaks after her, sprinting through Manhattan streets and even swimming across a river — all in red silk pajamas — to reach her and propose in a romantically cinematic gesture. The silent visuals are set to music by Le Motel.
The mesmerizing short serves as a teaser for Chanel’s Métiers d’Art 2026 show, set to debut Tuesday (Dec. 2) at 8 p.m. ET, with the full video releasing the same day.
A$AP Rocky, recently named Chanel’s newest ambassador, reflected on collaborating with Gondry, who is perhaps best known for directing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which earned him an Oscar for best original screenplay in 2005.
“All of my music videos that I direct derived some inspiration from one of his films. I plan on directing my own feature. I look up to people like him,” Rocky told Vanity Fair.
After posting a teaser of the short film on Instagram, fans flooded the comments with humorous reactions, many referencing the rapper’s partner Rihanna, with whom he shares three children.
“It takes a brave woman to get in bed with Rihanna’s husband,” one wrote. Another added, “Boutta send this to RiRi.”
Qualley, meanwhile, is married to music producer and Bleachers frontman Jack Antonoff. The couple tied the knot in August 2023 in a star-studded ceremony attended by Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, Channing Tatum, Zoë Kravitz and Cara Delevingne.
