Charli xcx has released SS26, a new song and music video built around a high-fashion runway scene with a darker edge. The clip arrived Thursday night, May 21, and places the singer inside a chaotic show setting where style, fame, and anxiety all seem to collide.
In the video, the runway is presented less like a glamorous fashion event and more like a surreal performance space. Charli moves through sharp looks, backstage pressure, and dramatic visual moments, including a fall on the runway and an explosive dressing room scene. Fashion editor Carine Roitfeld appears at the start, while singer Abra also makes a brief appearance.
The title SS26 points to the Spring/Summer 2026 fashion season, matching the video’s focus on designers, models, front-row culture, and the machinery around image-making. The release continues Charli’s recent run of visually specific pop projects, following Rock Music and other recent material tied to her evolving post-Brat era.
