Behind The Scenes Of The Doja Cat 5 Hour Swarovski Look

Doja Cat made a dazzling appearance at the Schiaparelli Haute Couture fashion show, covered in a stunning array of red crystals. The star was adorned with 30,000 hand-placed Swarovski crystals, dressed in a red silk faille bustier and wearing a hand-knit skirt of lacquered wooden beads, completing her over-the-top look with trompe l’œil toe boots.

Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath was responsible for bringing “Doja’s Inferno” look to life. McGrath and her team spent a total of 4 hours and 58 minutes hand-placing each crystal on Doja’s skin, as shared on Instagram. The singer’s hair was covered in caps, her skin in paint, before crystals and gold dust were applied to her body.

McGrath wrote in an Instagram caption, “Such a pleasure working with the gorgeous @DojaCat and the amazing @DanielRoseberry on the ‘Doja’s Inferno’ look for @Schiaparelli’s FW23 Haute Couture collection. Doja’s sublime patience during the 4 hours and 58 minutes it took to create the look with #TeamPatMcGrath, which was covered in over 30,000 hand-applied @swarovski Crystals, was inspiring. The final product was a magical, mesmerising masterpiece of sparkling brilliance. Xx”

Doja’s grand entrance on the first day of Couture Week was nothing short of spectacular, and her “Doja’s Inferno” look was a highlight of the show. The singer and fashion icon’s patience and willingness to experiment with bold, over-the-top looks continue to make her a standout in the fashion world.
