Doja Cat is a triple threat: a sensational musician, an edgelord, and an avant-garde fashion connoisseur who unapologetically goes against the grain. In addition to pushing boundaries with her music by defying genre norms, the ‘Planet Her’ artiste has a reputation for delivering buzz-worthy looks during her performances, fashion shows, and on the red carpet.
From quirky Coachella outfits to high-fashion red carpet moments, here’s a look back at Doja Cat’s most iconic looks over the years.
Alien superstar
Arriving at the Schiaparelli Autumn/ Winter 2024 show in Paris, Doja Cat went for a woman’s power suit silhouette, with oversized, bold shoulders. Underneath the blazer, she wore a neutral bustier and a miniskirt paired with tights and sandals with a ball on the bottom of the heel.
Crafted by the renowned Pat McGrath, Doja’s makeup was the star of her Schiaparelli montage. The thin brows and baby blue eyeshadow in a winged shape that disappeared into Doja Cat’s temples complemented her notoriously quirky style.
Blondes have more fun
While Coachella fashion has long been associated with flower crowns and boho silhouettes, Doja Cat paved the way for all of the weird fashion lovers out there. The star embodied a Hairy Goddess in a blonde bodysuit and matching boots, making a bold fashion statement.
To complement her head-to-toe blonde look, Doja Cat wore a furry two-piece bikini and oversized sunglasses. The look is a perfect twist on the usual Coachella bikini with all of the weirdness that Doja loves.
Web of style
Doja left nearly nothing to the imagination as she went braless in a flesh-flashing spiderweb dress. While her outfit was holding on by a thread, the musician was dripping in diamonds as well as a glitzy belly button piercing from Maria Tash.
Suited-up
The iconic musician was one to watch during Paris Fashion Week, last year, as she applied fake eyelashes in some very unexpected places. This included wearing eyebrows, a moustache, and a goatee, all made from stick-on lashes to the Viktor & Rolf couture show in January 2023.
The award-winning artist wore a brown fitted suit, giving us a more masculine look which deviates from her usually feminine style.
Planet Her
In one of her most high-fashion red carpet moments yet, Doja Cat attended the 2022 Billboard Music Awards in a black, angular Schiaparelli gown. The chest-baring piece was paired with a sheer beige wrap worn over gold metallic pasties from Agent Provocateur. The singer also held a gold, Saturn-shaped purse and wore gilded pear-shaped earrings and a set of nail rings designed by Bijules. Her black heels featured a gold foot-shaped toe cap with silver toenails.
Solid gold
In October 2023, Doja turned heads as she arrived at the A.W.A.K.E. Mode show during Paris Fashion Week. The singer looked incredible having painted herself with metallic gold paint for the swanky event.
Wet Gala
The ‘Attention’ hit-maker may have come as a Karl Lagerfeld’s cat at last year’s Met Gala – but this year, she went for a radically different look.
While exiting the Mark Hotel before the Met Gala, Doja started with a Crown Affair hair towel, along with a diamond necklace and a small, fuzzy white towel. Her glam was shower-scream good, all done at the hands of McGrath – sultry eyes painted bronze and rimmed with kohl, nude ’90s supermodel lips, and “mascara” like rivers streaming from her eyes.
Doja dressed for the ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’ themed event on May 6 in a sheer white fabric that appeared to be wet. Her glam included black mascara “tears.”
Grunge renaissance
Doja Cat made quite the statement in a plunging Roberto Cavalli gown at her first Grammy Awards ceremony. The top of the dress, a cream and black leather motorcycle jacket that bared her chest and navel, cascaded into a neon green skirt with black feathers.
As the evening’s host, Doja Cat got things off to a bold start by arriving at the 2021 MTV VMAs in a black bustier dress by Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood. Her thigh-high stockings, lace-up platform shoes, and stone jewelry took the look to the next level.
Painting the town red
Doja Cat turned heads at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture fashion show during Paris Fashion Week in a jaw-dropping ensemble that featured 30,000 hand-placed Swarovski crystals. While her actual outfit consisted of a red silk faille bustier, a hand-knit skirt made of lacquered wooden beads, and trompe l’œil toe boots, it was the red crystals covering the singer’s head, chest, and arms that made the look instantly iconic.
Doja teamed up with legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath on the look, whose team spent “4 hours and 58 minutes” placing each crystal onto her skin.
Glamour girl
It’s impossible to pick just one standout element from Doja Cat’s 2022 Grammys look. She wore a mint, off-the-shoulder Versace gown that featured a corset bodysuit and sheer, crystal embellishments. The rapper carried one of the most unique accessories ever seen on the red carpet: a glass handbag by Coperni that the singer filled with candy. She added even more sparkle with Samer Halimeh New York and Jacob & Co. diamond jewelry. The look was topped off with a touch of 2000s nostalgia with a spiky hairstyle and baby bangs.
Purr-fect
Arguably her most iconic look, Doja Cat arrived at the 2023 Met Gala in a hooded Oscar la Renta gown, which featured cat ears and a feathered train. She added to the feline-inspired look with prosthetics to make her nose appear more cat-like. The rapper accessorised with a custom Messika diamond headpiece and arm piece.
