Doja Cat Performed At The Oscars In A Spicy Diamond-Covered Dress
She originally hit the red carpet in a plunging mob wife gown.
The 2025 Oscars weren’t just rife with a star-studded guest list, teary-eyed speeches, and funny, meme-able moments. It also commissioned amazing performances, including Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s Wicked-inspired opening medley and Doja Cat’s James Bond tribute.
The performer sang a rendition of “Diamonds Are Forever,” the theme song and title of the 1971 Bond film, originally performed by Shirley Bassey. To get into character, she wore a gown dripping in diamonds and little else.
Doja’s Sparkling Look
Styled by Brett Alan Nelson, the “Woman” rapper wore a see-through mesh dress with a cleavage-baring strapless neckline. Doja, as a regular spicy dresser, is no stranger to the naked dress, and her look was covered in strings of crystals haphazardly strung around her gown, some of which were left dangling.
She accessorized the dress with more sparkly details, including a diamond-clad necklace that looped thrice around her neck and dipped into a plunging lariat detail.
Her OG Dress
Earlier in the evening, Doja Cat pushed the boundaries of Oscars dressing when she showed up on the red carpet wearing a fitted leopard-print number. The mob wife-beloved print is rarely seen at awards shows, and the maximalist aesthetic, though on-trend, is usually seen as the polar opposite of the Old Hollywood elegance that stars tend to channel at the Oscars. (All bets are off, however, at the buzzy afterparties.)
Doja’s Balmain creation, however, also paid homage to history: Taking more than 5,600 hours to create, it was inspired by a Pierre Balmain archival piece from 1951.
A style girl through and through.
