The secret behind Doja Cat’s Met Gala look
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Doja agreed that it’s best to expect the unexpected when it comes to her. These are the vibes she conveyed with her pre-carpet and rug looks for the Met.
Before heading to the gala, Doja left the Mark Hotel in the designer version of a look we all rock at home. Cat wore a white towel wrapped around her body and head. According to Getty Images, she was accompanied by fashion blog Style Not Com founder Beka Gvishiani.
For comparison, this year’s theme was “Sleeping Beauty: Resurgent Fashion” and the official dress code was “The Garden of Time.” The expected looks were floral and botanical, and because the singer and rapper anticipated this, she went a slightly different route.
Styled by Brett Alan Nelson, the Streets artist wore a Vetements cotton dress. Although it was oversized, the t-shirt accentuated her curves with its wet, sculpted look. She kept her accessories minimal, opting for diamond earrings and bold makeup. In addition to the smoky eyes, Cat had artificial, light black tears streaming down her face.
“I know people will do flowers, but my favorite flower is the most commonly used flower, cotton,” Doja told Entertainment Tonight. “And that’s why I wanted to make a white T-shirt. Plus, a white t-shirt is timeless and it felt very poetic to choose this one.”
Doja added that she doesn’t like being inconspicuous and she knew this wet t-shirt look would help her stand out.
“I knew it wouldn’t fit in too much, and I don’t really like fitting in, so we went with it.”
As for how she achieved the look, Doja Cat revealed that the secret was water and hair gel.
“I’m actually wet right now, that’s water,” she said. “I’m not supposed to tell you the secret, but it’s hair gel. It’s all hair gel and it’s smooth the whole time.”
The rapper added that she’s “committed” to her look, meaning she doesn’t plan on changing her fit once she’s on display. In her words, she was “on stage” and last night was “a show” for her.

Doja was also killed at the Met After Party
Ms. Amala wasn’t playing any games with her “fit for the Met Gala” afterparty either. She arrived at the 10th annual “The After” at Casa Cipriani wearing a sheer nude two-piece consisting of leggings and a long-sleeved crop top. Like her t-shirt dress, she had her bare breasts on display and nude underwear with the leggings. Here too, she kept the jewelry minimal.
Ahead of the Met, she also made headlines for her saran wrap fashion, which included a tube top and miniskirt. She strutted through New York hand in hand with creative director Guram Gvasalia.
