She’s your favorite reference, baby.
Charli XCX, 32, hit the Grammys 2025 red carpet on Sunday, turning heads in a ruffled Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown made with a whopping 250 meters of chiffon, according to E! News host Zanna Roberts Rassi.
She completed the high-low look with equally edgy accessories, including thigh-high heels with slits up each leg.
The hand-shredded design is a version of a dress Candace Swanepoel modeled just last week on the Paris Couture Week runway show — where Kylie Jenner attended in a similarly laced-up look.
For her part, Charli paired the look with diamond huggie earrings and kept her glam minimal aside from a swipe of her signature winged eyeliner.
The British musician is in the running for eight Grammys — including the biggest honor of the night, album of the year — for her viral record “Brat” that sparked tons of memes, inspired stars to dress in lime green all summer long and even got involved in the presidential race.
She’s up for best music video, too, for “360,” which stars everyone from Julia Fox and Gabriette — who are both name-dropped in the song’s lyrics — to Rachel Sennott, Chloë Sevigny and more.
And, her smash hit duet with Billie Eilish is nominated for best pop duo/group performance, with the “Lunch” singer set to perform during the telecast.
Charli will also take the stage — though it’s unclear what songs she’ll choose to sing — and promises that she’ll bring the house down just like she did during her bombastic Sweat Tour.
“My vibe is just wanting to have a good time,” she told W Magazine ahead of the awards show in a new interview. “Let’s be real, I wasn’t even on the Grammys’ radar last year, so it’s not something I ever expected. The thing is, wherever I am becomes fun anyway, so I’m sure I’ll figure it out.”
The last time the singer attended the annual ceremony was in 2017, wearing a very ladylike bright red brocade gown by Vivienne Westwood.
It’s been a decade since the artist received a Grammy nomination — in 2015, she was up for best pop duo/group performance and record of the year, thanks to her features in Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” album.
Welcome back, Charli XCX.
