Doechii Dazzles as Couture Queen at Paris Event, Drops New Music
In a dazzling display of fashion and talent, Grammy-winning rapper Doechii made quite the entrance at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre in Paris on March 4, rocking a breathtaking gold ballgown from Valentino’s Spring Summer 2025 couture collection, “Vertigineux.” This collection, which made its debut at Paris Fashion Week on January 29, marks the first creative endeavor by Alessandro Michele since taking the helm at Valentino. The dress, characterized by long sleeves, a turtleneck, and a sweeping skirt adorned with intricate silver embellishments, is a testament to Michele’s vision of fashion as a “living cartography” that weaves together visual and symbolic narratives.
Doechii, only 26, complemented her couture look with oversized oval diamond earrings and multiple diamond rings, embodying the essence of modern glam. Her sleek high bun and understated makeup—a soft pink eyeshadow paired with rosy blush and deep wine lip gloss—added to her regal presence. But, dear readers, she didn’t just come to strut; she came to perform. According to Vogue, after her show-stopping entrance, she switched into a custom denim set by Schiaparelli for a surprise performance, much to the delight of the guests. With a playful introduction, she welcomed the audience with, “To all the Americans, welcome to Paris. And for all the Parisians, welcome to Doechii,” before launching into her hit songs “Persuasive” and “Denial is a River.”
Just hours prior to her grand appearance, the artist re-released her track “Anxiety,” which originally dropped in 2021 but didn’t quite get the recognition it deserved until recently. The song, which features a clever sample of Gotye and Kimbra’s iconic 2011 hit “Somebody That I Used to Know,” has since gained traction on TikTok, contributing to her rising fame. Notably, the song was sampled by Sleepy Hallow in his own track of the same name, further solidifying its relevance in today’s music landscape.
In a world where fashion and music collide spectacularly, Doechii proves to be a force to be reckoned with—combining haute couture with lyrical prowess. As she continues to captivate audiences both on the runway and on stage, one can’t help but wonder what this rising star will do next.
