In a Sea of Naked Dresses, Doechii Proves Style Still Matters in Thom Browne
The four-time Grammy nominee went with one of her go-to designers on the red carpet, seamlessly delivering a preppy-meets-high fashion look.
Doechii knows how to make an entrance, and at the 2025 Grammys, she did just that—this time, with a sharp, preppy edge. The rapper, who has steadily built a reputation for bold, avant-garde fashion choices, tapped into Thom Browne’s signature uniformed aesthetic for a look that was both structured and subversive. In a sea of naked dresses (like Bianca Censori's or Madison Beer's), the “Swamp Princess” delivered a masterclass in style through her fashioned prep-school rebellion with a charcoal gray pinstriped gown that redefined the power of proportions.
Styled by Sam Woolf, Doechii’s structured dress featured dramatically sculpted hips and a crisp white button-down layered underneath—an unexpected take on the classic uniform aesthetic. A matching striped necktie, the kind you'd expect from a mischievous schoolboy, added a playful yet polished edge. From behind, a burst of red corseting laced up the gown, injecting a hint of the avant-garde into the otherwise prim silhouette.
Her beauty look carried the same contrast of grit and refinement. Doechii paired an ink-black smoky eye with a deep, lacquered red lip, while her free-flowing braids were accented with swirling, sculptural edges tracing her forehead and brows. On her feet? A towering pair of stacked platform heels, ensuring she commanded every inch of the carpet.
The 26-year-old artist, who’s nominated for four awards—including Best New Artist and Best Rap Album for Alligator Bites Never Heal—has been steadily carving out her place as a sartorial risk-taker. While this isn’t her first time at the Grammys (she made her debut in 2022), it’s clear that she’s officially entered her fashion power-player era. A longtime devotee of Thom Browne, she’s worn his designs everywhere from the VMAs to New York Fashion Week, even sharing a stage with Tyler, The Creator in his signature stripes. And with this latest look, Doechii isn’t just dressing for the moment—she’s cementing herself as one to watch.
