Billie Eilish has never been afraid to get experimental with her fashion choices, and this year’s Grammys look is certainly no exception. In fact, some might even say the style is out of this world — more specifically, the world that lies behind Platform Nine and Three-Quarters.

The Grammy winner, nominated for seven awards tonight, arrived on the red carpet wearing a particularly creative take on the all-black ensemble. The pop star wore a dramatic, backwards coat dress, giving off the sweeping, cape look trademarked by the original goth icon, Severus Snape.

Though Snape’s moody aesthetic was dubbed “ludicrously bat-like” in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Eilish wore the look like a fashion pro (unsurprising, since she’s an expert at pulling off shocking wardrobe choices). She paired the oversized jacket with micro sunglasses and platform sock boots.

Eilish finished the incredibly Snapely (a word I just made up) look with a spiky, Y2K-inspired updo, complete with retro, whispy bangs and ’90s-style, face-framing tendrils. It’s giving Professor Snape — but, like, if he taught at the Fashion Institute of Technology instead of Hogwarts.

All in all, it’s truly a look only Eilish (and, yes, Snape) could pull off.
