Ayra Starr is no stranger to setting the internet ablaze with her boundary-pushing style, but her latest visual takes her sartorial repertoire straight into the realm of haute couture fantasy. Posed against a moody, enchanted-forest backdrop of bare, intertwined branches, the singer steps away from her usual subversive street style to deliver a masterclass in dark, opulent romance.
The foundation of the look is an exercise in extreme contrasts. Shrouded in a voluminous, inky-black faux fur coat, the wearer embraces the opulent, Old Hollywood energy that only heavy textured outerwear can provide. However, instead of layering up, the coat is worn open, styled daringly over a bare torso. It’s a bold nod to the “naked dressing” trend, reimagined for the cooler months, where the plushness of the fur is juxtaposed directly against bare skin.
Equally commanding is the subversive take on denim. Moving far beyond the standard vintage wash, these jeans are a love letter to Y2K fashion‘s most audacious impulses. Cut exceptionally low on the hips, the light-wash denim features extreme, distressed cut-outs across the back and thighs, turning a casual wardrobe staple into a provocative focal point. The raw hems and frayed edges provide a necessary grit, balancing out the luxury of the coat above.
Yet, it is the bespoke accessory that truly anchors the ensemble. Cradled in her hands is a rigid, rectangular acrylic box clutch in a deep, cosmic purple. Emblazoned across the front in dazzling silver crystals is the moniker “Starr Girl,” transforming the bag from a mere accessory into a personalized declaration of identity. The structured, hard-shell silhouette of the clutch offers a sharp geometric contrast to the soft waves of her hair and the fuzzy texture of the coat.
Every detail is meticulously curated to complement the overall color story. From the long, lilac-hued stiletto nails that echo the bag’s amethyst tones, to the glossy, deep berry lip and layered silver neckpieces, the beauty and jewelry choices are just as intentional as the garments. It is a masterclass in modern pop-star dressing: unapologetic, highly personalized, and guaranteed to turn heads.
