Charli XCX Turns ‘SNL’ Rehearsals Into a Fall Fashion Masterclass

Charli XCX is far from the only SNL to host to treat rehearsals as an opportunity to dress to the nines. Sydney Sweeney turned 30 Rock into a runway last year, wearing the likes of Bottega Veneta and Versace, while Ayo Edebiri also rocked a full Bottega look for her turn. Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, and Olivia Rodrigo have also followed suit.

Fashion, as we know, is an armor. It allows us to present as confident, even if we’re feeling otherwise. Charli copped to experiencing some nerves ahead of Saturday night. “snl week and i’m totally chill af i fucking swear im not freaking out like at all like,” she tweeted not long after the photos of her strutting through FiDi were taken. In her sleek, über-cool look, we would’ve never guessed.
