Charli XCX's Best Red Carpet Fashion, From 'True Romance' To 'Brat'

Charli loves a good party and this disco ball-esque Gucci look was more than ready for one.

This simple Saint Laurent dress was taken up a notch with a daring cut-out at the back.

Is it a shirt? Is it a dress? Whatever the case may be, Charli put her best fashion foot forward to attend Balenciaga’s couture runway show in Paris.

The singer lit up like a disco ball in this sparkle Balenciaga look during the Magnum red carpet at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Charli’s look at this ASCAP event wasn’t what it seemed at first. The Mugler outfit is actually two pieces in one: a folded-over velvet skirt worn with a plunging black bodysuit. Her boots were courtesy of Steve Madden.

Only a true “brat” could get away with wearing a white t-shirt to the Met Gala. Of course, Charli’s outfit was actually 15 vintage white tees shredded up and turned into a gown by Marni creative director Francesco Risso.

At the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, Charli was amongst a slew of celebrities who championed sheer fashion. Her see-through Givenchy look was designed with a draped, cowl neck and a goddess-like skirt.

The singer offered up an edgy twist on transparent fabric at a Billboard event by way of silver panels and chain detailing.

Charli shut down the 2024 BRIT Awards in a watercolor Marni look and chic, slicked-back hair.
