Chanel West Coast—born Chelsea Chanel Dudley—has long been one of our favorite TV personalities. Standing 5 ft 2 in (157.5 cm) and wearing a shoe size 5 (US), she may be petite, but her presence has always been unmistakably bold.
While many first fell for her infectious laugh on MTV, Chanel’s career extends far beyond television; she’s also a successful rapper and singer with a style evolution that’s just as dynamic as her résumé.

Over the years, Chanel West Coast’s fashion journey has undergone a dramatic transformation.
In her early days on Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory, she fully embraced the edgy, streetwear-driven aesthetic of the early 2010s—think baggy jeans, graphic tees, snapbacks, and plenty of bright colors and bold accessories.

As her career progressed, Chanel shifted toward a more refined and fashion-forward aesthetic, favoring sleek silhouettes, sharper tailoring, and a newfound sophistication.

One of her most defining transitions has been her signature nude-toned looks, which she wears across red carpets, events, and music projects. Her nude ensembles—often finished with lace, cutouts, strategic draping, or high-shine textures—strike the perfect balance between polished elegance and modern edge.
