Per usual, there’s, like, a zero percent chance that you could have missed Doja Cat on the 2023 VMAs red carpet if you tried…but you wouldn’t have wanted to for obvious reasons. Said obvious reasons incoming:

Doja, who is up for five (!!) awards tonight—the highly coveted Video of the Year тιтle in addition to Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration for her hit track “I Like You (A Happier Song)” with Post Malone, Best Direction, and Best Art Direction—opted for a stunning naked dress, which is definitely one of the most dazzling looks of the evening so far.

Recently, the celeb sat down and discussed her famously distinct style upon being named one of the Harper’s Bazaar’s 2023 Icons. “I am taking more control over filming and pH๏τography. I’m in this kind of chaotic place right now when it comes to fashion, where I’ve just been going into my closet and picking out the most random, weird, not-fitting thing to mix with another thing that does not really fit,” the celeb mused to the outlet. “It’s like mashed potatoes. But I’m embracing that. It’s a little punk. It’s experimental for sure. It’s very manic. But I am going in a darker direction when it comes to visuals and fashion. I have a lot of pent-up feelings and anger, and I want to express it with beauty. I’ve been playing with a lot of prosthetics lately.”

The “Say So” singer also opened up about the reactions that her looks have elicited from the public in the past, and revealed, “My theory is that if someone has never met me in real life, then, subconsciously, I’m not real to them. So when people become engaged with someone they don’t even know on the internet, they kind of take ownership over that person. They think that person belongs to them in some sense. And when that person changes drastically, there is a shock response that is almost uncontrollable. … I’ve accepted that that’s what happens. So I put my wigs on and take them off. I shave my head or my eyebrows. I have all the freedom in the world.”
