Doechii has quickly become a treasured fashion darling, and she reminded us why earlier this week at the GLAAD Media Awards. There, the rapper was presented with the Outstanding Music Artist Award, and she took the stage in an equally outstanding outfit pulled from Maison Margiela’s archive. The purposefully disheveled look, designed by John Galliano for the spring 2024 collection, proved some red carpet moments are better left unfinished.
For the occasion, Doechii wore a laminated nude corset, allowing one of the chunky straps to hang delicately off her shoulder. A strip of white tape cinched her waist and added a peplum effect to the top, which she paired with a deconstructed black midi skirt featuring haphazard contrast stitching and raw hems. In true Margiela style, she also slipped into a pair of the brand’s Tabi “bourgeoise spectator pumps,” which flaunted a look just as distressed as her outfit.
The “Anxiety” rapper played into the campy look with her accessories, draping a measuring tape around her neck like a noughties-style skinny scarf. On her wrist, she wore a pincushion in the style of a corsage, looking ready to modify her outfit (or anyone else’s, for that matter). To give the ensemble her own personal twist, she added her go-to pair of frameless rectangular glasses. A smattering of diamond rings, as well as a statement-making white manicure, completed her look.
When it comes to fashion, Doechii hasn’t just defied expectations—she’s redefined rules. With the help of stylist Sam Woolf, she took over Paris Fashion Week, exhibiting rebellious looks that included going barefoot, mixing patterns, and embracing niche style icons. After all, taking risks is what makes fashion fun, and the rapper seems to be having the time of her life.
