It’s tough to think that, prior to this year, Doja Feline—the artist who’s swept the pop landscape with her distinctive technique to making hits, serving appearances, and promoting her different legal responsibilities on TikTok—had actually never ever gone to Paris Style Week. However certainly, the spring 2023 season was Doja’s really very first time sitting front row at programs like Balenciaga, Givenchy, and Thom Browne. “We have actually been speaking about going to Paris for many years for style week, however for the very first time, we wished to do it right—and this year seemed like the ideal year,” Doja Feline informs W by means of email. “My style week experience was unique due to the fact that I had the ability to get the message throughout to individuals that I am an explorer of art and style. I do not believe I completely have actually had the ability to get that message throughout.”
New York City Style Week was a warm-up of sorts for the artist’s boundary-breaking appearances. Previously this month she participated in Style World’s runway program with her face completely painted in a white web of makeup. Come September 30, Doja Feline took her individual technique to daily design (“black, simpleness, twist,” as she explains it) and turned it on its head, appearing in a variety of modernist charm looks that matched a closet of forward-thinking styles. Equipped with her travel must-haves—“My Hitachi [massage wand] and Shiseido eye mask”—the artist took a trip from program to reveal while blasting Little Sibling (her present preferred rap artist) and fitting in journeys to the dining establishment Bonnie (“I truly like the lobster—it is great,” she states). When it comes to her preferred discussion? “I do not select favorites. Every program was extraordinary.” Listed Below, Doja Feline shares her image journal throughout her really first Paris Style Week—sealing her status as style and charm guideline breaker.
The First Day: Upon goal in the City of Lights, Doja Feline jetted to Kenzo’s celebration at Cirque d’Hiver, where she carried out an almost 45-minute set. Here, the artist uses an appearance that nods towards Kenzo’s fall 2022 collection, which was themed “Kenzo University.”

Ahead of the Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood program, Doja Feline stops briefly to have Nelson repair her appearance.

We did the juxtaposition to that appearance, and it was influenced by a makeup artist called Mei Pang”
Day 3: A journey to the Balenciaga atelier affected the appearance Doja Feline eventually settled upon to go to Demna’s spring 2023 discussion. “I dealt with a fantastic artist by the name of Sophia Sinot—she does a lovely, theatrical bruised appearance that I desired for this program, due to the fact that I feel there is a strength behind the brand name,” she states. “The most amazing thing behind this appearance is when we appeared to the program, the very first designs came out on the runway with nearly the very same precise appearance.”
Doja Feline ensured she participated in the Balenciaga after celebration, where she stopped briefly for some images with Kylie Jenner and Khloé Kardashian. However it was the runway discussion’s total message that stuck to the star. “To check out Demna’s [show] notes, I share the very same views on style and in my music,” she states. “If I needed to specify my art, I would do so the very same method as Demna did through his program.”
A fitting at the Givenchy atelier reveals Doja Feline has actually come a long method from her design as a teen, which she refers to as “dressing like a moron. And my makeup was not the very best.” Nowadays, she favors all-black appearances—her leather Ralph Lauren sports jacket is “for sure a staple.”
DayFour: “For Lanvin, it was a little bit of a fast modification over. However I wished to still do something amazing, while keeping it traditional and stylish—which is what Lanvin is,” Doja Feline states.
Here, the artist glances through the archives at the Lanvin atelier with the brand name’s group.
Trying out a possible search for the Monot program…
…and the completed item. For her elaborate makeup appearance—that included paint from her arms to her fingertips—Doja Feline and her makeup artist drew motivation from Bea Sugary Food. “She did a lovely appearance that went from a black to a blue to a white—it felt so best for the program due to the fact that of how basic and stunning it was,” Doja discusses.
Successive—an audience in the front row with none besides Janet Jackson at Thom Browne.
“I believe Thom Browne is among the most amazing designers these days,” Doja Feline states. “I desired his clothes to reside on my body without it being clumped together with a wild comprise appearance, due to the fact that it holds a lot power by itself. Laurel Charleston however a tab down my lip and chin as an ode to the designer. It was so basic, however felt best and sophisticated.”
For her last appearance of the week, Doja Feline intended to go out with a bang. “It just felt ideal to do a gold bust for the ending as our prize appearance,” she states. “I truly desired this to feel surreal and natural. We didn’t include eye shadow, lashes, lipstick, or eyebrows due to the fact that it wasn’t about being attractive or stunning. It had to do with the message and sensation empowered and living as your greatest self.”
Here, Doja Feline does a fitting with designer Simon Porte Jacquemus, dressed up in gold. “I have actually never ever felt more stunning in any other appearance,” she states. “We later on shopped and to lunch after, however I might hardly consume my salad.”
