Charli XCX’s style has always been “Brat” coded, in a way. From her 2013 debut steeped in punk-inspired rebellion to her ascendance as a 2024 fashion renegade with the explosion of Brat Summer during her and Troye Sivan’s Sweat Tour, she’s always favored bold forms of self-expression.
Her aesthetic walks the line between playful chaos and daring sophistication, like with her electric feathered Jean Paul Gaultier dress she wore at the 2019 Met Gala or her commanding 2024 Paris Fashion Week ensembles featuring Mugler and Yves Saint Laurent.
The singer, who has fronted campaigns for the likes of Acne Studios and Kim Kardashian’s Skims, just announced her 2025 Brat Arena Tour, which kicks off in February in New Zealand and will make its way to North America in April.
Ahead, WWD takes a look at some of Charli XCX’s best style moments over the years.
