Doechii, Queen of Fashion

20 March 2025

As this Fall/Winter 2025 season unwrapped, the world anxiously waited to see who would earn the coveted and highly desirable title of ‘it-girl’—a style icon, trendsetter, voice of the moment—a ranking fought over by many formidable artists, including Chappell Roan, who swept headlines. It was Grammy-winner and rap sensation Doechii who was crowned by industry insiders and spectators as the undisputed victor. Balancing attendance at the most exclusive runways, red carpet moments and new music releases, Doechii, with the assistance of her stylist Sam Woolf, cemented her ranking as one of fashion's heaviest hitters. She shed her title as ‘Swamp Princess’ from Tampa, Florida, to position herself as a formidable force of fashion.

Though this marks Doechii’s official debut in the Paris Fashion Week calendar, the ‘Nissan Altima’ singer is no stranger to the art of dressing for the occasion, often adapting her look to the mood of the event or show. In a world where commercial appeal often overshadows legitimacy, Doechii consistently upholds a sense of authenticity in all her appearances, a challenging feat that makes fashion and dressing appear effortless. Doechii featured in a stacked lineup of appearances this season and was spotted at the front row of Dsquared2, Tom Ford, Chloe, and Schiaparelli, each time with a different and more outrageous look.

The world held its breath when she stepped out of the car and opened the show at Dsquared2, sprinting down the runway sporting a fur-lined military jacket, a cinched corset in the same earthy tone, micro denim shorts and heels. Throughout the week she continued to fuse the lines between femininity and masculinity, wearing an oversized varsity jacket paired with a pleated skirt at Miu Miu, a look that nodded to her soft elegance and brute force. 

Doechhii's versatility was on show at Tom Ford and Schiaparelli, with plunging v-necks and provocative silhouettes—sheer fabrics that hinted at movement and accentuated her form, as well as high slits that celebrated her body. Her appearance at Chloe truly caught our attention too. Stepping onto the carpet draped in an unreleased floor-length gown paired with a lush faux shawl, Doechii exemplified the ethereal sophistication Chemena Kamalli at Chloe has consistently celebrated—only to take things further with a flick of the gown that revealed her bare feet.

It is fair to say that whether through her electric live performances, as seen at the Grammys, layered lyricism, or now, her emergence into luxury fashion, Doechii is not just participating in the fashion industry, but helping shape it. She has solidified her place as an icon, defining what it means to be an ‘it-girl’ today.

‘Multi-hyphenate’ and ‘multi-disciplinary’ are labels for individuals who embody numerous roles. Yet, the idea of excelling in various fields contradicts what we’re taught growing up: choose one profession, follow one path, be one thing. In fashion—and the creative world at large—that simply isn’t possible. Writers are artists, musicians are graphic designers, directors are actors. Why is this the case? Partly because our industries are under-resourced and largely under-funded, requiring people to take on multiple roles. But more fundamentally, creative people can indeed do many things. And, more importantly, they want to. This issue of to Be explores this very impulse to adapt and redefine our positions, our inclination to shapeshift into the many roles we play.
