S<\/span><span>omehow it\u2019s that time again. Club night links are dropping into group chats and whispers of a possible (but probably unlikely) house party are stirring. As Halloween approaches, so does the annual struggle of finding a costume which sets you apart from the ghosts and vampires of the room, but still lands with the crowd and doesn&#8217;t take hours to put together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So, we\u2019ve spent the year racking up our screen time and bookmarking the best pop culture moments of 2026 worthy of a Halloween costume. Read on for our favourite picks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>2016<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In January, we kicked off 2026 by travelling back to 2016. For days, our Instagram feeds were clogged with decade-old pic dumps as people posted their former selves. From chokers to blue dip-dye, peace-and-pout selfies to Tumblr quotes, we were all feeling nostalgic for simpler times. It\u2019s an easy, last-minute option for Halloween 2026 \u2013 all you need is a flower crown, skinny jeans and a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/kylie-jenner\"><span>Kylie Jenner<\/span><\/a><span> lip kit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THE COUPLE WHO SCALED THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In July, two Russian influencers, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov, made headlines when they scaled New York\u2019s Empire State Building. As helicopters circled, Kuznetsov got down on one knee and proposed, all while flying a flag that read: WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE BEATS THE LOVE OF POWER THE WORLD KNOWS PEACE. While it might be tricky to climb the Empire State building, it\u2019s easy enough to recreate their outfits for Halloween \u2013 all you need is the flag, a balaclava and an engagement ring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ROSAL\u00cdA WEARING LOLI\u2019S TOOTH\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>There\u2019s no love like wlw love. Rosal\u00eda and Loli Bahia have given us some strong couples costume contenders over the past year, and a few solo options too. If you\u2019re not ready to commit to a halo hair moment, Rosal\u00eda seemingly took romance to new heights when she stepped out in NYC wearing what appeared to be girlfriend Loli Bahia\u2019s wisdom teeth around her neck. Pair with some gym wear and a set of wired headphones (Oklou\u2019s Tracks Edition, to be exact) to nail the look. Bonus points if you can get your hands on an actual tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ADDISON RAE ON A PICKLE RUN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7678825722177178894\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Pop princess Addison Rae played right into our hands back in August when she was photographed in a perfectly clashing fit on a pickle run. Wearing camo sweatpants by Aviator Nation, a leopard-print top, black boots and a phone tucked into her waistband, Rae struck Halloween costume gold when she shielded her face from paparazzi with a pack of pickles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THE BLADE ANGELS \/ ILIA MALININ<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a2477b1d-d88a-4e72-853e-b4e800f5e61d\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/978\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457870.png\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.87\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Blade Angels\" class=\"img\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457870.png\" width=\"978\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by Jamie <span class=\"nowrap\">Squire\/Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The 2026 Milano-Cortina <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/69658\/1\/winter-olympics-2026-breakout-stars-milano-cortina-blade-angels-alysa-liu\"><span>Winter Olympics<\/span><\/a><span> was one of the highlights of the year. For two weeks, the world came together in support of the hardcore athletes, who provided a wealth of entertainment. Beyond their impressive abilities, they brought all kinds of drama \u2013 from the curling cheaters to the Norwegian biathlete who confessed to having an affair on live TV. There were several <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/69658\/1\/winter-olympics-2026-breakout-stars-milano-cortina-blade-angels-alysa-liu\"><span>breakout heroes<\/span><\/a><span> (like the husky who crashed the women\u2019s cross-country sprint qualifiers), but it was the American figure skating team that stole our hearts. Specifically, The Blade Angels, made up of gold medalist Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito. For any men reading this, why not dress as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/gallery\/37071\/18\/ilia-malinin-the-summer-2026-issue\"><span>Dazed cover star Ilia Malinin<\/span><\/a><span>, who skated in distressed jeans and a Balmain hoodie. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>CHANNING TATUM\u2019S BUTTERFLY BURNER ACCOUNT<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7688189983064116494\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Back in September, internet sleuths became convinced they\u2019d uncovered Channing Tatum\u2019s secret Instagram profile after discovering a mysterious account with Tatum as the only follower. While the actor has since denied the allegations, the account\u2019s turquoise butterfly profile picture makes for a quick-win costume. All you need is a pair of blue butterfly wings and some unresolved feelings about your ex.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BJ\u00d6RK\u2019S ECLIPSE LOOK (PLUS ROS\u00c9)\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"80000538-38c8-428d-9379-b4e800f3a72b\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457866.png\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.38\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bj\u00f6rk&apos;s solar eclipse rave\" class=\"img\" height=\"1486\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457866.png\" width=\"2044\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Alex Atherton<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The eclipse had Europe in a chokehold this summer as people grabbed their colanders to try and safely glimpse the rare phenomenon. As our designated messenger between Earth and all things extraterrestrial, Bj\u00f6rk threw a rave in her native Iceland to celebrate the occasion. Naturally, her outfit did not disappoint. The musician arrived on stage with a glass of ros\u00e9 wine, wearing a Robert Wun balloon ensemble. It\u2019s a cheap one to recreate: you just need white balloons and a bottle of Whispering Angel. In the same vein, an eclipse couple\u2019s costume (where one of you is the moon and the other is the sun) would definitely win points at any party. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ERLING HAALAND (AND RACCOON)\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"c1fb97ce-7561-44ed-9dc8-b4e800f3efd6\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457867.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.49\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Erling Haaland and racoon \" class=\"img\" height=\"2009\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457867.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by Jan Langhaug \/ NTB \/ AFP via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Team Norway\u2019s Erling Haaland was the real winner of the 2026 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/tag\/world-cup-2026\"><span>FIFA World Cup<\/span><\/a><span>. The 26-year-old player captured our attention with his golden viking hair, prompting thousands of memes including one that compared him to a spring onion (a moment he recently cited as one of his proudest achievements). Off the pitch, his personality shone through his Snapchat posts and sarcastic responses to fans. We already know he loves a Birkin, but our favourite Haaland moment came when he stepped off a plane carrying a taxidermy raccoon as an accessory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>DOECHII AT DAISY CHAIN FIELDS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"8350a17b-e373-4e29-a4ab-b4e800f43d7f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457868.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.77\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Doechii at Daisy Chain Fields 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457868.jpg\" width=\"2318\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by River Callaway\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/doechii\"><span>Doechii<\/span><\/a><span> seems to have embarked on a new sartorial evolution. For the past two years, she\u2019s been all about the preppy, Thom Browne moments, but in 2026, she\u2019s going for a more extraterrestrial look. Last week, she dropped a new single \u201cBOMBS\u201d wearing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/71168\/1\/sho-konishi-designer-behind-doechii-explosive-bikini-bombs-video\"><span>cyborgian bikini<\/span><\/a><span> that shot fire from the nipples; earlier this summer, meanwhile, she performed at Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s Daisy Chain Fields festival painted entirely in fuchsia. The Florida rapper and her dancers were all coated in neon pink paint, styled with leopard print bikinis and space age pigtails. Warning: you might end up wearing this costume for longer than just one night. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>KIM PETRAS AND CHARLI XCX BAG SWAP<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7687288837298507022\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>This one might require some screen time to land with the general public.

S<\/span><span>omehow it\u2019s that time again. Club night links are dropping into group chats and whispers of a possible (but probably unlikely) house party are stirring. As Halloween approaches, so does the annual struggle of finding a costume which sets you apart from the ghosts and vampires of the room, but still lands with the crowd and doesn&#8217;t take hours to put together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>So, we\u2019ve spent the year racking up our screen time and bookmarking the best pop culture moments of 2026 worthy of a Halloween costume. Read on for our favourite picks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>2016<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In January, we kicked off 2026 by travelling back to 2016. For days, our Instagram feeds were clogged with decade-old pic dumps as people posted their former selves. From chokers to blue dip-dye, peace-and-pout selfies to Tumblr quotes, we were all feeling nostalgic for simpler times. It\u2019s an easy, last-minute option for Halloween 2026 \u2013 all you need is a flower crown, skinny jeans and a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/kylie-jenner\"><span>Kylie Jenner<\/span><\/a><span> lip kit.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THE COUPLE WHO SCALED THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>In July, two Russian influencers, Angela Nikolau and Ivan Kuznetsov, made headlines when they scaled New York\u2019s Empire State Building. As helicopters circled, Kuznetsov got down on one knee and proposed, all while flying a flag that read: WHEN THE POWER OF LOVE BEATS THE LOVE OF POWER THE WORLD KNOWS PEACE. While it might be tricky to climb the Empire State building, it\u2019s easy enough to recreate their outfits for Halloween \u2013 all you need is the flag, a balaclava and an engagement ring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ROSAL\u00cdA WEARING LOLI\u2019S TOOTH\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"instagram-container embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-instagram\" data-script-depends=\"instagram-embeds\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>There\u2019s no love like wlw love. Rosal\u00eda and Loli Bahia have given us some strong couples costume contenders over the past year, and a few solo options too. If you\u2019re not ready to commit to a halo hair moment, Rosal\u00eda seemingly took romance to new heights when she stepped out in NYC wearing what appeared to be girlfriend Loli Bahia\u2019s wisdom teeth around her neck. Pair with some gym wear and a set of wired headphones (Oklou\u2019s Tracks Edition, to be exact) to nail the look. Bonus points if you can get your hands on an actual tooth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ADDISON RAE ON A PICKLE RUN<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7678825722177178894\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Pop princess Addison Rae played right into our hands back in August when she was photographed in a perfectly clashing fit on a pickle run. Wearing camo sweatpants by Aviator Nation, a leopard-print top, black boots and a phone tucked into her waistband, Rae struck Halloween costume gold when she shielded her face from paparazzi with a pack of pickles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>THE BLADE ANGELS \/ ILIA MALININ<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"a2477b1d-d88a-4e72-853e-b4e800f5e61d\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/978\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457870.png\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.87\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"The Blade Angels\" class=\"img\" height=\"1124\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457870.png\" width=\"978\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by Jamie <span class=\"nowrap\">Squire\/Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The 2026 Milano-Cortina <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/69658\/1\/winter-olympics-2026-breakout-stars-milano-cortina-blade-angels-alysa-liu\"><span>Winter Olympics<\/span><\/a><span> was one of the highlights of the year. For two weeks, the world came together in support of the hardcore athletes, who provided a wealth of entertainment. Beyond their impressive abilities, they brought all kinds of drama \u2013 from the curling cheaters to the Norwegian biathlete who confessed to having an affair on live TV. There were several <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/article\/69658\/1\/winter-olympics-2026-breakout-stars-milano-cortina-blade-angels-alysa-liu\"><span>breakout heroes<\/span><\/a><span> (like the husky who crashed the women\u2019s cross-country sprint qualifiers), but it was the American figure skating team that stole our hearts. Specifically, The Blade Angels, made up of gold medalist Alysa Liu, Amber Glenn and Isabeau Levito. For any men reading this, why not dress as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/life-culture\/gallery\/37071\/18\/ilia-malinin-the-summer-2026-issue\"><span>Dazed cover star Ilia Malinin<\/span><\/a><span>, who skated in distressed jeans and a Balmain hoodie. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>CHANNING TATUM\u2019S BUTTERFLY BURNER ACCOUNT<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"media-tiktok\" data-id=\"7688189983064116494\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Back in September, internet sleuths became convinced they\u2019d uncovered Channing Tatum\u2019s secret Instagram profile after discovering a mysterious account with Tatum as the only follower. While the actor has since denied the allegations, the account\u2019s turquoise butterfly profile picture makes for a quick-win costume. All you need is a pair of blue butterfly wings and some unresolved feelings about your ex.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>BJ\u00d6RK\u2019S ECLIPSE LOOK (PLUS ROS\u00c9)\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"80000538-38c8-428d-9379-b4e800f3a72b\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457866.png\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.38\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Bj\u00f6rk&apos;s solar eclipse rave\" class=\"img\" height=\"1486\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457866.png\" width=\"2044\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Alex Atherton<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>The eclipse had Europe in a chokehold this summer as people grabbed their colanders to try and safely glimpse the rare phenomenon. As our designated messenger between Earth and all things extraterrestrial, Bj\u00f6rk threw a rave in her native Iceland to celebrate the occasion. Naturally, her outfit did not disappoint. The musician arrived on stage with a glass of ros\u00e9 wine, wearing a Robert Wun balloon ensemble. It\u2019s a cheap one to recreate: you just need white balloons and a bottle of Whispering Angel. In the same vein, an eclipse couple\u2019s costume (where one of you is the moon and the other is the sun) would definitely win points at any party. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>ERLING HAALAND (AND RACCOON)\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"c1fb97ce-7561-44ed-9dc8-b4e800f3efd6\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457867.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.49\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Erling Haaland and racoon \" class=\"img\" height=\"2009\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457867.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by Jan Langhaug \/ NTB \/ AFP via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Team Norway\u2019s Erling Haaland was the real winner of the 2026 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/tag\/world-cup-2026\"><span>FIFA World Cup<\/span><\/a><span>. The 26-year-old player captured our attention with his golden viking hair, prompting thousands of memes including one that compared him to a spring onion (a moment he recently cited as one of his proudest achievements). Off the pitch, his personality shone through his Snapchat posts and sarcastic responses to fans. We already know he loves a Birkin, but our favourite Haaland moment came when he stepped off a plane carrying a taxidermy raccoon as an accessory.<\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span>DOECHII AT DAISY CHAIN FIELDS<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"8350a17b-e373-4e29-a4ab-b4e800f43d7f\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457868.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"0.77\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"portrait\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Doechii at Daisy Chain Fields 2026\" class=\"img\" height=\"3000\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1450\/7\/1457868.jpg\" width=\"2318\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photo by River Callaway\/WWD via <span class=\"nowrap\">Getty Images<\/span><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/doechii\"><span>Doechii<\/span><\/a><span> seems to have embarked on a new sartorial evolution.

Last week, she dropped a new single \u201cBOMBS\u201d wearing a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/fashion\/article\/71168\/1\/sho-konishi-designer-behind-doechii-explosive-bikini-bombs-video\"><span>cyborgian bikini<\/span><\/a><span> that shot fire from the nipples; earlier this summer, meanwhile, she performed at Olivia Rodrigo\u2019s Daisy Chain Fields festival painted entirely in fuchsia.
