Doechii’s Best Red Carpet Looks: From ‘Swap Princess’ to NYFW Darling

Florida native and wetlands enthusiast Doechii declared 2024 as the “Year of the Swamp”—and the rapper certainly had a breakout run. She made numerous front-row statements during New York Fashion Week, released her third mixtape, Alligator Bites Never Heal, provided one of the bright spots on Katy Perry’s latest album, and scored a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. She also ended 2024 with Elle Fanning raving about her music to a bemused Timothée Chalamet, and began 2025 with shoutouts from Billie Eilish (“doechii is so fire omg,” she wrote), SZA, and Hayley Williams. She’s certainly got buzz.

Her daring fashion sense only helps to cement her status. Whether she’s leaning into her “Swamp Princess” image or channeling one of her many “alter egos,” Doechii always leaves an impression, with the help of stylist Sam Woolf. The 26-year-old musician has a particular soft spot for edgy American fashion, favoring labels like Willy Chavarria, Luar, and Thom Browne. We’re sure the European houses will eventually catch on, and will be begging to dress her in 2025. For now, here’s Doechii’s style evolution, from Soundcloud rapper to music industry darling.
