Doja Cat’s Red Crystal Outfit from Paris Fashion Week
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.
