Chanel West Coast Told To 'Set A Better Example' After Cheeky Cowgirl Snap

Reality TV star, rapper, and influencer Chanel West Coast turned heads once again with her Instagram post, proving she knows exactly how to make a statement at any event. The "Ridiculousness" alum has built a reputation for sharing bold fashion choices and unapologetic moments, and her Stagecoach festival look is no exception.

Shared on April 26, Chanel posed confidently against a desert night backdrop, with glowing neon lights and towering palm trees setting the stage. Rocking a white cowboy hat, strappy black bodysuit, and black boots, she added a sheer fringe skirt that highlighted her curves. The star looked back over her shoulder with a sultry expression, striking a pose that radiated confidence and festival-ready energy. The country-inspired look was given a modern twist, perfectly in line with Chanel’s signature style.

While the photo racked up more than 21,000 likes, the comment section quickly turned into a mix of praise and criticism. One follower wrote, “You can take the city girl to the country. But you can’t take the city out of her!! Such a poser!!” Another added a more personal critique, pointing out, “The biggest thing here is you’re a mom. Set a better example.”

Others chimed in with blunt remarks, including one user who wrote, “Ya because that’s country #embarrassing.” Another comment read, “Is this all you do is do photos half naked trying to be young… aging that hot guy of yours is going to get fed up with that real quick.”

Chanel kept her country-inspired streak going in another eye-catching post, this time posing in a sleek all-black ensemble. Wearing a strapless top with lace-trimmed shorts, cowboy boots, and a statement beaded choker, she completed the look with a beige hat embroidered with the words “Lil Bit.” Standing in front of a horse stable, Chanel struck a confident pose, giving fans yet another taste of her western-era rebrand.

Earlier this year, Chanel surprised fans by stepping into a brand-new musical lane with her sassy country debut, “Lil’ Bit Country.”  “Music has always been a huge part of my life, it's in my DNA,” Chanel explained. “I started writing poetry at seven, songs at 14, and spent my childhood in choir, orchestra, drama, hip-hop dance, and cheerleading. I was homeschooled at 16 so I could focus on music full-time. Now, I'm so excited for people to hear me sing for the first time.”

In another recent post, Chanel leaned fully into her country-inspired aesthetic, posing against a rustic stable backdrop. Dressed in a distressed denim crop top and matching shorts, the star paired her look with bold accessories, including a chunky necklace, hoop earrings, and a white cowboy hat. White cowboy boots completed the outfit, giving her a polished yet rugged edge that fit perfectly with the western theme.

The post, which pulled in over 8,700 likes, once again stirred mixed reactions in the comments. Some fans showered her with love, calling her “Beautiful Chanel” and “Love you mommy Chanel.” Others kept it short but supportive, dropping red heart emojis or sweet affirmations like “I love you.”

But not everyone was on board. One critic slammed her transition into the country genre, writing, “You're not even country. Singing other people’s songs… idk who you are. Sing some of your own music.” Another follower was blunt with a simple “Nope.”

Chanel’s connection to country music goes back to her childhood, when she spent summers in rural Ohio with her mother’s side of the family. Those trips often included visits to the Grand Ole Opry, sparking a lifelong appreciation for the genre. Now that she’s a mother herself, Chanel says exploring country music feels like coming full circle, giving her the chance to create new traditions and memories for her own daughter.
