Doja Cat’s outfit for the 2024 Met Gala has sparked a debate among social media users, while some are in admiration of the concept behind the design.

For this year’s Met Gala, inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story ‘The Garden of Time’ and the exhibit theme ‘Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion’, the musician chose to wear what appeared to be a towel set and an oversized t-shirt, both seemingly fresh from the shower.

Doja’s initial outfit featured her in a towel wrapped around her body and another on her head, giving the impression that she had just stepped out of the bathroom onto the red carpet.

She also wore makeup that seemed to have run down her face, completing the look, though she managed to slip into some platform heels.

In her second look, Doja, whose full name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini, ditched the towel for what looked like a drenched oversized t-shirt, revealing her bleached blonde hair without the towel wrap.

One X user said: “If this is her only outfit then don’t invite Doja Cat next year. Take note Anna Wintour. Didn’t you ban her from Met Gala last year?”

“She’s never getting invited again i fear,” another added.

A third commented: “Doja cat should be banned from the #metgala if this is the final look…”

“Doja Cat – I would’ve sent her home and banned her from all future Met Galas for wearing this nonsense 0/10,” a fourth resolved.

However, others loved the look.

A user wrote: “She has a mind like gaga when it comes to fashion and performative art pieces fr. like this is far from being the most opulent outfit there, but she just constantly thinks outside the box. i always respect her artistic vision and talent.”

And in an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the singer explained the process behind the look.

She said: “So, I know that people are going to do flowers but my flower of choice is the most used flower which is cotton.

“And so I wanted to do a white t-shirt, also because a white t-shirt is timeless and it felt very poetic to choose this.

“And I knew it wasn’t going to blend in too much and I don’t really like to blend in. So, we went with this.”

Well, you can’t really argue with that can you?

Doja also clarified she was ‘actually wet’, while wearing the look, her team having used hair gel all over her body.

She resolved: “I’m performing. It’s a show tonight.”
