Pop star Doja Cat turned heads at Paris Haute Couture Week as she walked the runway for Schiaparelli’s show, dressed in a bold and striking outfit that featured full red body paint and 30,000 crystals. The look, titled “Doja’s Inferno,” was a collaboration between Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry and British make-up artist Dame Pat McGrath.
The process of creating the look was no small feat, as it took Doja Cat’s team a total of five hours to complete the final product. Despite the time commitment, Doja Cat was described as having “sublime patience” by Dame Pat, who also praised the final product as “a magical, mesmerizing masterpiece of sparkling brilliance.”
The crystals used in the outfit were all applied by hand, and were provided by Swarovski. In addition to the body paint, Doja Cat also donned a red silk bustier, a heavily beaded tulip skirt, and a pair of matching red knee-high boots.
Dame Pat shared a behind-the-scenes time-lapse video on her Instagram, showing her team painting Doja Cat’s skin and applying the thousands of crystals. She described the final result as “evocative of sublime sculptures; a true feast for the eyes.”
Roseberry, who took over as creative director of Schiaparelli in 2019, became the first American to lead a French couture house. Schiaparelli, founded in 1927 by Elsa Schiaparelli, has seen a number of high-profile celebrities wearing their designs on the red carpet in recent years, including Rihanna, Kendall Jenner, and Julia Roberts.
The bold and striking outfit worn by Doja Cat at Paris Haute Couture Week has certainly generated a lot of buzz and attention. The intricate and time-consuming process of creating the look, along with the final product, have been praised by both fashion critics and fans alike. It’s clear that Doja Cat’s daring fashion choices continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the world of high fashion.
Amalaratna Zandile Dlamini alias Doja Cat, has donned body paint in the name of fashion many times.
In October, the rapper covered herself entirely in gold body paint for A.W.A.K.E Mode’s spring show in Paris, and she has experimented with zig-zag eye-make up at Vivienne Westwood.
Doja Cat is known for hits such as Say So, Streets and Kiss Me More.
