How Doja Cat’s “Fever Dream” Coachella Fashion Came to Life

Vogue: Tonight, Doja Cat’s Coachella set made history, as she became the first female rapper to ever headline the annual star-studded music festival. And the performer certainly didn’t disappoint, performing a lineup packed with her greatest hits—and plenty of avant-garde fashions too. “This show is very special because it’s a representation of how I’ve evolved in the past two years,” Doja tells Vogue. “It’s poetic to how I’ve come to love myself for who I am. The plastic and synthetic materials all are a nod to this sort of ‘scientific’ exploration of the self—a dissecting of the mind, and deeper understanding of what makes us the way we are.”

I absolutely adore Doja Cat. She is definitely one of my favorite artists, and I hope to be able to see her live one day. One thing that does continuously confuse me is her choice of outfit for her shows. THOUGH, this isn’t to say that she hasn’t had some GOOD outfit choices. For example, her 2022 Coachella outfits were honestly so cute and I really liked the pieces she was wearing. This years outfit lineup was definitely…interesting. I kind of hated the fur pieces she had going on. Especially the outfit that made her look like chewbacca. But there was a photo of one piece that I loved. It was the white piece that looked like it was made completely by hand and out of a macrame technique. Not only is that just really impressive but it also is different and looks so clean. I also really liked the piece that looked like it was basically clear armor.
