Chlöe [3] kicked off the holiday break with a little humour. The "Treat Me" singer took to Instagram [4] to share a stunning photo shoot, wearing a plunging black dress and 6-inch stilettos. But TikTok [5] is where she really let loose, revealing a behind-the-scenes moment where, in the midst of hitting several poses, she tripped and almost fell on set. Of course, like the consummate professional she is, the 24-year-old star recovered gracefully, laughing at herself while she fixed her dress. "When tryna be cute goes wrong," she captioned the video clip.
Chlöe's Christmas-themed shoot featured a micro minidress with a low neckline that plunged down to her navel. Feathers covered the bodice and low-rise skirt, while the back was left completely open save for a small string. Though her vertiginous heels were challenging to wear, Chlöe's shoes complemented her dress perfectly. The 6-inch sandals boasted a metallic heel and platform, along with a toe and ankle strap adorned with matching feathers. To bring the look together, the Victoria's Secret PINK spokesperson wore dangling earrings in each ear.
While her outfit was certainly a show stopper, most of the conversation on social media centreed around her hair. Showing the versatility of locs, she wowed in a lace-front wig in a half-up, half-down style, replete with baby hairs laid on her forehead. "Whoever did chloe's wig over the locs need a RAISE," one Twitter user wrote [6]. "Representation matters because until Chloe and Halle hit the streets I did not know you could be doing all this with locs," posted another [7].
The songwriter is known for taking sartorial risks, whether stepping out in a double-slit gown [8], a cutout dress [9], or a fitted catsuit [10]. In a previous interview with POPSUGAR, Halle Bailey [11] revealed that Chlöe's bold approach to fashion inspires her. "Chlöe's always been so good at finding clothes that just show off her amazing figure," she said. "So I find that as I'm getting older — I'm 22 now — I'm trying to figure out how to do the same kind of thing. I look up to her in that way. She's my style inspiration. Because comfort is key, but you still want to look sexy. It's just finding that balance."
