Everyone is dressing like a hot snake, including Gigi Hadid. The pendulum hath swung! After Valentino pink led the Barbiecore revolution for the last six months, the dark side is on the rise. Hollywood is in her villain era. Her Disney villain era.
Look at Gigi Hadid in Mugler in Times Square the other day. I think she’s going for motorcycle chic, but take off the jacket and you’ve got Maleficent at the club. Don’t she and Tan France look like they should be standing on the shoulders of a dashing but naive young prince? France urges the prince to do the right thing; Hadid tempts him with a walk on the wild side.
Then there’s Kylie Jenner at the Mugler exhibit last November. The gloves say “rich widow,” the neckline says “femme fatale,” but the headdress? The headdress is pure Disney evil stepmother queen. Swear to Hades, Susan Sarandon wore the same thing in Enchanted.
