Charli XCX made a bold departure from her usual "Brat" aesthetic at this year's Grammy Awards, stepping onto the red carpet in a stunning pale-blue chiffon corset gown by Jean Paul Gaultier. The dress featured a daring thigh-high slit, paired with lace-up boots, creating a striking contrast to her recent signature green looks. The singer confidently posed solo, showcasing her unique style.
Charli XCX entered the ceremony with multiple nominations, including:
Prior to the main event, she had already secured wins in categories like Best Dance Pop Recording for "Von Dutch," Best Dance/Electronic Album for "Brat," and Best Recording Package for the same album. Charli celebrated her nominations on Instagram, writing, "hi it’s me :) thank you @recordingacademy."
In a December interview, Charli revealed how she meticulously planned the marketing for "Brat" a year before its release. "Usually, after recording, I think about how to present the music," she explained. "But with this album, I did the opposite—I had the title and marketing strategy before the music. It became a guiding tool for the creative process."
When asked to define the "brat" attitude, Charli humorously referenced Martha Stewart: "It’s a vibe. Like when Martha gets mad about an old article and says she’s glad the journalist is dead—that’s brat. And when the journalist responds, 'Hey! I’m alive, bitch!'—that’s extremely brat."
