Doja Cat turned Paris Fashion Week into a fabulously macabre Halloween cosplay moment.
The 27-year-old Woman singer made heads explode arriving at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2023 fashion show covered in head-to-toe red paint and dripping in 30,000 Swarovski crystals across her face and body. Mystique from X-Men is shook!

While the ensemble featured a silk bustier, beaded skirt, and matching boots, Doja’s blood red Avatar look also served up nightmare flashbacks to Carrie and Hellraiser with a little early Lady Gaga energy thrown in for good measure. Put ya paws up!
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The horror-inspired getup was right on point as the show’s theme was “Inferno Couture,” based on Dante’s Inferno and the nine circles of hell.

Renowned makeup artist Pat McGrath helped create the look which required the 30,000 crystals to be applied by hand over the course of nearly five hours.
As expected with any bold fashion choice, fans were fiercely divided:
Icon, she is so daring with fashion, love that

Someone who may not have been quite as enamored with Doja’s scene-stealing high-fashion costume was Kylie Jenner, who thought she’d be the belle of the paparazzi ball by affixing a beheaded lion to her strapless dress. Roadkill is the new black!
While the reality star’s Mufasa accessory definitely stood out, it paled in comparison to Doja’s fully immersive fright fest eleganza. A video of the two meeting up on the show’s red carpet went viral for capturing the awkwardness of the moment.
kylie def thought she was gonna be thee look at the show….and then doja walked in pic.twitter.com/6lYxPp1Wye

In the clip, Kylie and Doja exchange the bare minimum of pleasantries as they utter “good to see you” and retreat to opposite sides of the event.
The uncomfortable situation seemed to escalate as the two fashionistas sat in the same row and did their damndest to not acknowledge the other despite both being trapped in their cumbersome and eye-catching garb. Look over there!
The way doja ignore her while she was busy talking shot with kylie jenner is kinda the best moment,, btw Doja cat is all red is 🔥,, pic.twitter.com/ctK5HmGjtf

Whether you are Team Doja or Team Kylie, everyone can agree the scene was straight out of the Hunger Games. May the odds be ever in their favor!

On the one hand, very edgy and captivating.
On the other hand, it looks like the beginning of neurofibromatosis.

A beheaded lion? How sick can a so-called human being get?
ShiningSex
It was fake you fool. Also, it went with the theme of Dante’s Inferno and Schiaparelli who did a fake animal head hat in the 40s.
So I guess since it was fake, one should NOT use fake animals in films, plays, musicals, etc.
I guess the cast of “Cats” should feel awful for their fake feline costumes. Get a life!!!
greekboy
Freak!
ShiningSex
and she looked amazing! maybe get some fashion sense or knowledge and get back to us.

She looks like one big Covid 19 Virus. And the other bitch with the Lion wrapped around her neck. Who is she? Awful. She only THINKS she could top Bjork’s White Swan.
It’s all been done before people. Stop trying to be original and smart. If you had any talent you wouldn’t need to dress like a BLOB having an abortion and yes, I’m talking to you Sam Smith on SNL.That was horrendous.
ShiningSex
First off you obviously KNOW NOTHING about high fashion. Bjork did not do it first. Schiaparelli did it in her collection in the 1940s. Look it up!
This designer at the house, paid homage to her work.
Also, the Lion thing is so overblown. Another thing that is very Schiaparelli and those who call it gross are idiots because it’s fake and yet many designers use real fur and leather and have gotten less drama. Dante’s Inferno was the theme, maybe look it up. I don’t give two sh*ts about the person wearing it. It’s a beautiful piece.
bachy
I appreciate there is no beauty without pain, but that just looks hideously uncomfortable to me.
abfab
As Joan Rivers once said…”I’ve seen better faces on a hemorrhoid”.
But I must disagree. Isabella Rossellini…..beauty without pain.
LumpyPillows
Must have been horrible to wear…I get nervous thinking about it.
ShiningSex
The Schiaparelli collection was beautiful. All of the stupid drama is being made by ignorant and people who don’t know the history of Schiaparelli. Look up Schiaparelli in the 40s and see she used fake animal print and pieces in her work. If people think it make animal cruelty fashionable, then I guess musicals like Lion King, Cats, etc. that use fake animal props and costumes should be banned too.
Get a f*cking life idiots
abfab
Like we need another Iris Apfel to tell us like it really is. We get this.
Winsocki
you sound like the idiot when impractical and mindless fashion lemmings praise runways that are all show and no tell. The OG Schiaperelli is probably laughing at the cartoon couture. But then everyone has an opinion thankfully we are opposite. Praise God ….. Actually Doja looked like a smallpox victim and that is not cute.

“The strawberries in my fridge knowing they bout to expire”
I guess there’s someone else who knows nothing about “high fashion” but that’s the best comment here.

poor little baby got upset
Kangol2
Quelle femmage! Do it, Doja Cat!
Donston
Love Doja for always fully going there. Can’t wait for the next album.
HankHarris
Its a Halloween costume. So desperate for attention.
Donston
Doja doesn’t need attention. She’s already hugely successful. It’s called giving haute couture and camp. And I appreciate her for doing that since she’s the only mainstream artist right now fully committing to being “bigger than life” and not obsessed with always being “pretty”.
smittoons
Gross.
