Doja Catwas feeling green while being turned red forParis Fashion Week.
“I didn’t realize I had to get up at four in the morning,” she noted, relating to the time commitment to the execution of her look. “So we get there, and I didn’t realize till I sat down in the chair that I had gastroenteritis. So I had gotten super ill.”
“I’m sitting there, and I feel the twirling of a knife,” she explained. “The whole crew was so sweet. The whole glam team was so understanding and so sensitive and kind. It was great and very professional.”
“I was trying to joke around and make light of the situation, but as time progressed, it only got worse,” she added. “My stomach felt like there was a blade in it, and it was just spinning 100 miles per hour. I never felt pain worse than that — and on one of the most important days of my life! So it was full of emotions and just crazy feelings.”
“I was sitting down, and I had underwear and a bandeau on,” explained the singer. “They started with a layer of red paint, and they just covered me in that and then a layer of glue, and then I think they dusted glitter on top. Then the crystals. And I would have one, two, three, four people on my body as this was happening, just all around me, working on different sections of my body.”
McGrath wrotein an Instagram caption, “Such a pleasure working with the gorgeous@DojaCatand the amazing@DanielRoseberryon the ‘Doja’s Inferno’ look for@Schiaparelli’sFW23 Haute Couture collection.
