Charli XCX’s Style Evolution In 18 Looks

Once a goth baby, always a goth baby.

This yellow zebra jumpsuit and Vivienne Westwood orange star clutch was a bold choice, right around the time “Fancy” dropped.

Pop music’s It Girl at a NYLON It Girl event makes sense.

This look gives fancy tuxedo cat, and we mean that in the nicest way.

This look is unusually sexy for Charli, and if you recognize it, you probably know this from the many memes that have spawned from a certain photoshopped image that Charli herself shared.

This red dress matched the all-red cover of her album Number One Angel, and was a step in a more mature direction.

A NYLON girl through and through, Charli Baby wore this shredded denim look that was both dynamic and stage-ready.

This run of shows opening for Taylor Swift came off the heels of her now-cult mixtape Pop 2, which saw Charli cutting her hair short and wearing lots of transparent, flowing looks.

This was the start of the infamous pink dipped ends of her fringed bob, and this slip dress was a more muted take on party dressing from the rave queen.

Charli Baby all grown up, and at the Met Gala! In Jean Paul Gaultier no less. This bold yellow look was on theme and marked a mature new look for Charli.

This custom outfit marked the first time her and stylist Chris Horan worked together, and it only got better from here.

This look sees Charli continuing to embrace her high fashion, high elegance side, and the dress slit still keeps it fresh and young.

This t-shirt made the rounds on the Internet, riling some people up (namely, critics) who couldn’t get behind Charli’s tongue-in-cheek humor.

A fashion butterfly, fully spreading her wings and flying.

She loves a dress with train, and if it’s completely sheer? Even better.

This vintage Jean Paul Gaultier moment was a complete knockout. The face tape matching her dress was the cherry on top.

Another award ceremony, another gorgeous train, this time by Marni and made out of several pieces of fabric. The custom molded bustier gives the look an earthiness that Charli pulls off so well.

Our fashion baby, all grown up. For her second Met Gala, Charli went with Marni and wore a custom dress composed of vintage t-shirts and safety pins. Always simple, never basic.
