While Margot Robbie's Barbie was rolling through Venice Beach in neon roller skates [1], Megan Thee Stallion was having her own Barbie moment on stage at the 2023 Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco. On 13 Aug., the rapper took the stage in a hot-pink corset bodysuit and matching leggings embellished with hundreds of miniature rhinestones.
Every piece in Barbie's wardrobe [2] makes a statement, and Stallion's glittering ensemble was no exception. Drawing attention to her bodice, the boned corset featured a bedazzled neckline and rhinestone nipple designs on either side of the chest. The chest embellishments were arranged in the shape of flowers, a pattern that continued down one leg of her lacy magenta leggings. The second leg broke up the swirling rhinestone pattern with a bejewelled garter design that wrapped around Stallion's upper thigh.
She continued the asymmetrical theme with a single fingerless glove that mirrored the lacy motif along her leg. From behind, the suit featured a full-body zipper down the centre to help the singer slip into and out of the piece when necessary. She completed the outfit — which beautifully complemented her red hair [3] — with diamond earrings and a pair of pink lace-up boots adorned with metallic studs. Her beauty team tied the outfit together with bubblegum-pink eyeshadow and a lengthy floral manicure in Barbie's favourite colour.
In April, Stallion showcased her love for sparkle in a rhinestone naked dress by Rey Ortiz [4] at film director Nneka Onuorah's birthday party.
