The fashion-forward singer donned designs from top fashion houses like Tom Ford, Gucci, Bob Mackie, and Maison Margiela, showcasing her style and glamour on the red carpet and on stage.
One of her most memorable looks was a custom-made, gold Maison Margiela Artisanal dress with teased hair inspired by the 1968 movie “Barberella.” This iconic dress, designed by creative director John Galliano, required 675 hours of craftsmanship and boasted 14,000 safety pins.
