Carbon Costume

Doja Cat is known for wearing a plethora of extreme looks when she attends Paris Fashion Week, and she kicked off 2023 in a very memorable ensemble.  Schiaparelli’s Couture Spring-Summer 2023 show saw her in red body paint with more than 30,000 Swarovski crystals applied to her body.  You can choose to recreate her look in a few different ways.  Perhaps the simplest approach would be to use high-quality red body paint and red body glitter to evoke a similarly sparkling look.  If you’re not up for body paint and have a lot more spare time, you could use a bedazzling kit to add red rhinestones to a bodysuit to wear under your dress.  To complete the crimson costume, you’ll need dangly earrings, knee-high boots, and a long scarf in similar shades of rouge.  It can be difficult to track down a popcorn-textured skirt, but you can layer a tulle or fringe skirt over a tube dress to evoke a similar feel.

At the European premiere of Guardians of the Galaxy in London, Vin Diesel did his best Groot impression, wearing stilts and donning an “I am Groot” shirt. We are all Groot, but some, like Vin, are more Groot than others.
