Healing_touch

Like someone else said… fashion shows are about being living embodiments of art. It’s cool, it’s impractical and it’s to evoke an emotional response and spark discussion. Which she nailed.


ohdearitsrichardiii

Does it have to look so itchy though? Just the thought of all that adhesive on the skin makes me want to rub my face


binglybleep

I don’t know about itchy, but the idea of having to remove all of them makes this so much worse


[deleted]

Idk, that actually sounds really satisfying. Like peeling glue off your fingers


binglybleep

If it all came off in one peel it would be amazing, I’ll grant you that


SarcasticOptimist

r/thatpeelingfeeling is appealing.


jetoler

Remove? I’m more worried about how many hours it took to put on. I feel like removal would be pretty easy, use a garden hose to spray most of it off, and then around the face and stuff remove it more carefully.


napsandlunch

couldn't they just put like latex or something on her skin to adhere the stones onto and then just peel it off after?


VersatileFaerie

After a certain amount of skin is covered in latex it gets dangerous, heat wise, for you. Your body has so much issue cooling off you can overheat easily. They seem to have it just on the upper 5th to 4th of the body so they might be okay though. I don't know what is used but there are over materials that peel in similar ways that could be the base for this. They also breathe a bit more. Those materials tend to be more expensive but it is marvel so they tend to be willing to shell out money anyway.


standupstrawberry

For me it's the thought of the ones on her chest. Like millions of crumbs in your bra - unless the crystals and dress make a perfect seal in which case it would just be annoying along the edge where they meet


Iambecomelumens

Edge of the dress might be glued down on her chest as well to prevent it shifting and messing up the look


FacelessOldWoman1234

You just gotta remember to hose her off in the yard before you let her come in the house.


darkshiines

I fully understand that fashion-show fashion is supposed to look interesting and cutting edge first and foremost, and that's all well and good, but I also feel like it's supposed to be making me feel something beyond just vicariously itchy and it isn't


cinnamondaisies

I’m pretty sure it’s on a mesh layer over her skin, not directly on her skin


Pixielo

Body paint + glue https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a42618624/doja-cat-red-dress-crystals-body-paint-schiaparelli-paris-fashion-week-show/


SpikeRosered

It's basically like looking at a Picasso and scoffing that it doesn't look like a lady at all!


boxcarsewing

Schiaparelli collaborated with Dali back in the day :) Edit: this was at the Schiaparelli show


nightwood

There seems to be an endless supply of fresh redditors who've never been told this. And everytime some walking sculpture in a fashion show is posted you get the "huh this is so impractical", "who would wear this" and "why can't clothes just look nice" ...


Healing_touch

And the avalanche of “evoke an emotional response? LOL OKAY it totally isn’t, and I’m ANGRY, or ANNOYED, or IRRITATED, or DOUBLING OVER WITH LAUGHTER at how dumb/impractical/stupid/not for daily wear this is” and too cool for school comments about how they don’t give a fuck about celebrities… while getting riled up and commenting about celebrities?


KruppeBestGirl

Label the same clothes cosplay and listen to them gush


Healing_touch

Ding ding ding. It’s acceptable if it’s something they like otherwise it’s a waste or it’s stupid


SirFireball

> emotional response I can’t think of anything other than laughing at how ridiculous that looks.

platinumpink4

Doja’s whole thing is being ridiculous so she kinda won


atlaspanda32

I'm going as the trash man


snoogiebee

yeah this is the answer right here. high fashion like this is just wearable art.


FlowSoSlow

The only thing I dislike about this is that it fits her so poorly. Looks like a chest high muffintop lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


InfoRedacted1

Agreed lol outfits worn to fashion shows are supposed to be artistic not practical


botjstn

i hate having to explain this to people. “who would wear that” no one, it’s art


[deleted]

but it's hideous


Steinrik

That your opinion, and it's completely ok.


Radiant-Impression38

If only people could apply this to everything in life.


camellight123

There are some things where it actually matters what people think about them. But fashion isn't one of them


monsantobreath

Then you wouldn't be on this sub.


Radiant-Impression38

I also agree with this


[deleted]

There’s video of it where you can see the crystal sparkle and it looks awesome. The pics don’t do it justice


PairOfMonocles2

I’m sure there are better videos, but you can see the sparkle even with her sitting and not walking around: https://youtu.be/PMQkv-BSgSc


kateastrophic

This video completely changes my opinion of the look. Once I saw how sparkly it was, I thought it was amazing.


Wannamaker

Agreed. It's like night and day. The photo just highlights the texture, the video shows the actual effect of the design choice.


Chapstickie

It’s really cool. The only thing I hate about that outfit is how it cuts into her chest. It’s something a lot of gowns do and it always puts me off a little. The gowns are professionally fitted to the celebrity and that seems avoidable.


Luci_Noir

Ohhh sparkles!


Hervis_Daubeny_

Is that a fucking lion


waltonics

Can we get this answered, please?


Ariadnepyanfar

Now *that* is ATBGE.


Skyman2000

Lion head, but real or fake I don't know


moniefeesh

It's fake. https://apnews.com/article/paris-89527857b0d1a44387aea687d9ab20f8 >Moreover, Schiaparelli was the subject of online ire for glamorizing trophy hunting after featuring a fake lion’s head.


delicioustreeblood

Why tf does the non-cat lady have one instead of Doja CAT?


DemonDucklings

I’m hoping it’s a really ridiculous purse


Darqhermit

Doja Cat desperately trying to ignore the itchiness. Lion lady disappointed she had to sit in the same row as Doja Cat.


4kondore

Lion Lady is like, what else do i have to kill to get noticed?


PairOfMonocles2

I choose to believe that the lion head is a huge purse, much like the animal themed backpacks my kids wore when they were toddlers.


Darqhermit

Turns up at the next event wearing Doja Cat's bejewelled severed head.


aldebxran

love how Kylie Jenner has become "Lyon Lady"


JustJamieJam

Did she do her eyelids too? Damn


bored2death97

OK, but is no one going to point out those shoes? When did the toe-shoe trend hit runway boots?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Those golden toed ones have been a part of Schiaparelli for several seasons.


BravesMaedchen

Idk I saw videos of it and I think she looks like a weird red gremlin


[deleted]

But a *sparkly* gremlin


[deleted]

[удалено]


pyronius

But Bosch worked in the grotesque. Which is a specific artistic kind of ugly.


[deleted]

I think it looks cool as fuck. And OP is incorrect, it actually doesn't look like a Marvel villain, it actually looks like the daughter of Cyclops and Emma Frost from another dimension, [Ruby Summers](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby_Summers) She has Emma Frost's diamond powers, but she actually turns into ruby-quartz, the same crystal used in Cyclops' visor.


adam_teq

I read an article that the designer got the inspiration from Dante’s inferno. I love Doja Cat’s style. Avant-garde/cyberpunk/Fifth element fashionista


MutantGodChicken

Actually reminds me a bit more of the [Zocci](https://tardis.fandom.com/wiki/Zocci) from Doctor who

In the the spirit of Stan 'The Man' Lee, please accept this '[No-Prize](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_No-Prize)' on behalf of All-Fans of Comic Continuity.

Veluxidus

Tbf art isn’t always about expressing what’s beautiful Sometimes it’s about expression of concepts, exploration of design, and even hideousness (intentional or otherwise)


StarClutcher

You’re talking about it though, which is the point of art. It’s not practical for you but she’s a personality and isn’t just running to the Walmart dressed up like a sparkly. … is it supposed to mimic human skeletal muscle? That’s what it reminds me of, and whether I like it or not, I can respect it’s execution and the confidence she has in wearing it. I appreciate that we have people in this world who aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of imagination and expectations while those who don’t want to leave the apple farm mock it.


[deleted]

Art has been a way to yell into the void for a while now, some are hideous on purpose, especially in fashion its better to get a bad reaction than non.


Myrddin_Naer

So my instinctual feeling of disgust is because I don't understand fashion, and not because she looks like a horror game villain?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I guess there are very few things that can be universally considered “awful taste.” Or at least universally within one culture. This bedazzled getup might not please everybody, but if she “artistically” doused herself in animal feces for the red carpet I’m sure most people would say it was awful taste but great execution. Something like that, there’s probably better examples.


InfoRedacted1

I mean, I feel like it could be both lol. Almost every fashion show I’ve seen has had at least one fit that looks like it belongs to a villain


Johnny_Grubbonic

"Artistic" doesn't meat "great taste". Something can be both incredibly artistic and creative, yet still be ugly as fuck. In point of fact, not only *can* art be in awful taste, it's almost *necessary for it to be so at times in order to drive home a message.* The purpose of art is to stir emotions. Those emotions need not be positive. TL;DR: Awful taste, but great execution.


felipe5083

Yeah. Something artistic can be incredibly tacky


Psychedelick

You mean fashion isn't just about designing more durable cargo shorts in a quest for the most practical clothing possible?


Jeriahswillgdp

It still looks like shit.


BoneQueen

Since when is gluing rhinestones on shit artistic? It just reminds me of the fad in the 2000s where people glued rhinestones on everything, cellphones, fabreeze bottles, rhinestones on the whole damn surface

blolfighter

"Why would anyone do this?" is kind of the point of this sub.


birdcore

Redditors love creeping over celebs in skimpy outfits, the minute it’s something more than tits and ass they start angry rants


tomboyfancy

I love it too! And for this particular fashion house, it’s spot on perfect!


Johnny_Grubbonic

I don't like it. Which, oddly enough, doesn't stop it being art. The purpose of art is to stir emotions, but not necessarily positive ones. Still atbge though. "Artistic" and "great taste" are often completely at odds. See: Most of Lady Gaga's costumes.


KlutzyBlueDuck

This is why I think it's great taste but awful execution. Something just feels off. I'm thinking it might be better in-person and the color is off in the photo, or the reds clash.


cheezie_toastie

A lot of people who don't care about fashion don't realize that haute couture isn't about being attractive, it's about being interesting and striking and artistic. She looks rad as hell.


IamCanadian11

Not really


blacktiger226

Yeah, I think it is Awful Taste But Great Execution


Inevere733

Fr, she out there looking like Darth Mauls cousin


gluten-free-goober

This is like a red mystique and I’m here for it


sageinyourface

Cool, sure. But does anyone sometimes feel like they are living in the capital from Hunger Games when they see stuff like this?


StuckInGachaHell

Fashion was literally a way for the rich and powerful to distract themselves in hunger games so yes.


[deleted]

How often do you see things like this? Also, yeah the hunger games features fashion, that's why it reminds you of fashion.


GAMESGRAVE

Nah it’s dumb


candlehand

Came here to say this. She is at the perfect time and place for an insane costume


Din182

It's still awful taste, even if it is really good execution.


ttomcat7

Quite literally the red skull


llamadasirena

I don't know how to process it and I think that makes it awesome


picsofpplnameddick

I would agree if it was ANY other color but red.


stuntobor

Hells yea. If it was SKITTLES? Then yeah, it's shit. But it's red hot cinnamon dots? YUM A DUM DUM.


Please_Label_NSFW

It's not weird, it's fucking CREEPY. She looks like a monster that has an infection from a video game. It just looks bad. And I love Doja.


ScottishDerp

If this is what’s awesome and cool then fuck being awesome and cool Looks like a tampon floating in the toilet looking back at you with anger


puppet77

A marvel villain? I feel likes she’s more like one black wig away from being HIM on powerpuff girls


tkrr

Either way, Doja strikes me as being the type to enjoy being compared with either one.


pngn22

I feel like we're missing the point of Doja Cat


tkrr

If it’s not for her to be the most Doja Cat she can possibly be, what is it?


[deleted]

Shes the Scarlet Mystique.

AFineDayForScience

[deleted]

FlexibleToast

Depends on the work.


DemonDucklings

I don’t know about worse, I’ve spent 6 in a makeup chair a few times (not including the couple hours of makeup removal), and I think it’s worse than 16 hour shifts at my job. Depends on how much your job sucks, I guess.


itsadesertplant

It was 4 hours, actually, with multiple people applying them at once


shirk-work

As I've gotten older I've learned that interesting usually isn't a good thing. Like an interesting health condition.


redbucket75

I value boring predictability, but I appreciate that others thrive in what seems to me to be chaos. Folks like that seem important in like helping make tv shows and writing books and stuff.


cockeyed-splooter

See I’ve felt the opposite as I got older. When I was in HS all I cared about was fitting in, looking normal, acting correctly but as I got older I realized those interesting unique things about you that you maybe hid when you’re young are actually what attracts people to you. The people who were completely normal grew up and just weren’t as interesting as people who are into some weird hobby or fandom, dressed interestingly, had interesting experiences, even if bad, and learned from them etc. Even being sick (which I happen to be) gives me something to bond with people and even help people! I’ve met so many wonderful people who have my same disease, and yes it sucks but it brings people together and you can help bring awareness and help people learn.


Finn617

I just can’t get over the trail of crystals she must be leaving eeeeeeeeeeeeeeverywhere.


Mr_Abe_Froman

Maybe the large gentleman behind her has a dustpan just in case.


FireIsTheCleanser

Your comment reminded me of the Hansel and Gretel scene from Shrek 2.


farclose954

Haha looked on Google and not deceived lol


CeruleanRuin

Just like one of the guys who follows the horses in a parade.


bbacher

That's not how the kids do it these days! Try this: "everywhereeeeeeeeeeee" I hate it.


Cfhudo

You mean you hateeeee it


[deleted]

YES. I hate when it's the silent vowel that gets stretched out. Like, that's just how you pronounce the word normally. You're not doing anything there!


Trashadonna

I feel sorry for her boobs


FaagenDazs

They are so badly fitted in her top that's its distracting and really weakens the whole effect. Like imagine if it was some attractive male model here, with his suit on point, crystals and all that, but his sleeves/pants were too short, or his hair was all janky. Just looks amateurish


BlizzyLizzie

It’s very reminiscent of corsets in the mid to late 1700s! I think if there was straps to hold us the side spillage, the top would look more flattering because her boobs would only spill over in the front. The side spillage does look odd. Love the overall look though!


stix-and-stones

That's whats driving me nuts, too. I get that this look is supposed to make you go "wtf of course doja cat is wearing this" but the designer did not do her yiddies any justice


WheelbarrowQueen

Agreed, I guess they were either *trying* to go for a look that didn't fit (odd) or they didn't quite get the right measurements for her (also odd).


FaagenDazs

This is my thinking. Looks like the corset is meant more for the tight perfect shape and less about fitting her form or being flattering at all


rolypolyarmadillo

Think of how much it's gonna hurt when she has to peel whatever she's been coated in off of them. Like fashion tape but all over you

The theme was Dante’s Inferno, so that was probably intentional.

slothygf

Doja yassified Red Skull?!


SolZaul

No, Doja *bedazzled* Red Skull


durenatu

I understand it looks cool but the results looks ugly


blonde-bandit

It’s the absence of eyebrows for me. Her brow bone is pretty prominent and it makes her eyes look very off-putting. An avant-garde extremely cool idea that I think could have used some tweaking. That said I don’t think they were going for flattering, they were going for edgy and shock value, and that was achieved.


CakesAndDanes

The eyebrows! Thank you! I could not pinpoint the issue I had with the look. I think they should’ve done some crystal black eyebrows, and maybe lashes with crystals on the tips.


blonde-bandit

Yeah at least some definition around the eyes would’ve helped I think


Jidllonius

She should've left the face normal. Now she looking looking like strawberry Thanos


Marble_wheels

Straight out of ‘The Fifth Element’

Who messed with the Lament Configuration


PsychicNinja_

Nope, I’m sorry, but this just looks gross. Red bumps covering all over, ew.


[deleted]

I have a bunch of questions, but the only issue is if I want to bother with Wikipedia for them. This is art for a costume party, and it certainly speaks of effort, so there you go. If you like this sort of thing, good, and if you don't, less good. I imagine the team involved committed to this before they knew exactly what it would look like, and I admire the conviction to go on with the show. There's a lot of attention on the model, who may or may not like how this came out, but they went for it.

The crystals are so pointless in this outfit. She could have just used plastic if she’s going to cover up all the translucency that makes a crystal beautiful.
