She went a bit wild for the 2023 Met Gala on May 1, transforming into a furry feline, quite literally, to honor the late Karl Lagerfeld‘s beloved cat Choupette. With the help of prosthetics, the singer turned heads with her realistic-looking cat nose and ears.
In January, she pushed the envelope with a getup worthy of being displayed in a museum. While attending Schiaparelli’s Spring 2023 couture show during Paris Fashion Week, Doja looked unrecognizable as she was completely covered in red body paint from head-to-toe. Plus, her face was embellished with 30,000 Swarovski crystals that were applied by hand.
“It was an honour to collaborate with the incredibly gifted @DojaCat and @DanielRoseberry on the ‘Doja’s Inferno’ look for @Schiaparelli’s FW23 Haute Couture collection,” makeup artist Pat McGrath wrote at the time, alongside Instagram footage of the extensive process. “Doja’s patience and commitment during the 4 hours and 58 minutes it took to create the look with #TeamPatMcGrath and I, which was covered in over 30,000 hand-applied @swarovski Crystals, was truly inspiring.”
Pat added, “The final product was a magical, mesmerizing masterpiece and a tribute to Doja Cat’s hard work and dedication.”
