Charli XCX made a grand entrance at the 2025 Grammys, proving once again why she’s both a music and fashion trailblazer.

The Brat singer stunned in a Jean Paul Gaultier gown that perfectly encapsulated her Sweat Tour aesthetic. The gray-blue dress featured a dramatic frilly V-neck, a structured corset, and flowing tulle layers with a bold center slit. The edgy pièce de résistance? Black, knee-high gladiator heels with peep-toe detailing—bringing an undeniable punch to the look.

Her glam, courtesy of Nina Park and Valentino Beauty, completed the vibe with a smoky brown winged eye and a nude lip, while her long, curly hair flowed down her back in effortless waves.

This look is the latest in Charli’s string of unforgettable Brat-era moments. From her distressed Met Gala ensemble to her Saint Laurent naked dress, she’s consistently brought indie sleaze vibes into the mainstream. Even stars like Addison Rae and Katy Perry have adopted her trendsetting style.

While the Grammys are a celebration of music—Charli is nominated and set to perform tonight—it’s impossible to overlook her impact on the fashion world. With at least one more outfit change expected during her performance, we’re bracing ourselves for another iconic look to add to our Brat mood boards.

Charli XCX isn’t just making waves—she’s defining an era.
