Doja Cat Has Her Own Met Gala Theme: Fresh Out of the Shower
- Doja Cat made a splash at the 2024 Met Gala by wearing a wet T-shirt dress by Vetements, straying from the event's "Garden in Time" dress code.
For some people, showing up in a wet T-shirt to a fashion event that garners millions upon millions of viewers would be a haunting nightmare. For Doja Cat, it's a fun fashion statement for the first Monday in May. Yes, that is correct: Doja Cat wore a wet T-shirt dress to the Met Gala 2024 .
The rapper, ever one to subvert style expectations, didn't precisely follow the "Garden in Time" dress code in her soaked-through maxi tee. Doja Cat's wet dress, by Swiss luxury fashion house Vetements, clung to her body—as wet T-shirts tend to do.
As Doja Cat walked on the Met Gala red carpet , the musician strategically covered the most see-through aspects of her look.
For accessories, she opted for a sampling of earrings, including a sparkling denim stud, pavé-studded hoop, and diamond drop earring.
There is, however, some sense of a theme for Doja Cat's Met Gala fashion.
Before hitting the Met steps, the "Paint the Town Red" singer walked out of New York City's The Mark Hotel wearing a Vetements white towel that circled around her torso and was held together with her hands. She completed her fresh-out-of-the-shower look with a matching towel wrapped on her head and mega-platform see-through heels.
To complement (or, in this case, contrast) her towel dress, Doja Cat wore sparkling jewelry consisting of a diamond necklace featuring a yellow gemstone and matching drop earrings.
Equally as striking as her terrycloth "gown" was her running eye makeup, which drove home the just "thew on a towel" theme.
Beka Gvishiani, creator of the Instagram fashion commentary account StyleNotCom , joined the musician when leaving The Mark Hotel.
The singer has a history of rather, er, avant-garde Met Gala looks.
For last year's event, which honored Karl Lagerfeld, Doja Cat dressed up as the late designer's beloved cat Choupette . She wore an Oscar de la Renta look consisting of a sparking gown with an attached hood, cat ears, and a sweeping feathered train. Her Met Gala 2023 look took over 5,000 hours, including applying 350,000 silver and white bugle beads.
While it might not make the list of most on-theme looks, Doja Cat's wet T-shirt and towel dress will go down in both meme and fashion history.
