Doja Cat is not just a singer but a visionary. After shaving her head and eyebrows last year on Instagram live and, it’s clear that the Grammy award-winning artist isn’t afraid to use her canvas to color outside the lines.

From creative direction to her personality, the “Paint The Town Red” singer has always been innovative yet distinctive. From complex eyeshadows and geometric shapes to intermediate cut creases, it feels as though she craved more. Discovering and reimagining inventive eyebrows, the expressive genius turned to a thin, white pencil, a drawing of mini apples and hearts, and even the perfect arch.

Her artistic pursuits break the glass ceiling during Fashion month, too. She knows a thing or two about feeding the algorithm refreshing beauty moments that further solidify her stardom. Masked in deep blue contour, flaunting elongated striped lips to resemble last season’s Thom Browne show, and, a personal favorite, an infinite spiral pattern dominating her entire head —Doja uses the power of makeup to transform.

More recently, she’s been found rocking colored contacts. At the 2023 VMAs she paired green ones with wispy lashes and 90s-thin eyebrows. Following this was her hypnotizing eye look at the Victoria’s Secret SS24 fashion show to go with lined lips and blue shadow. And of course once can’t forget her cat-inspired Met Gala look earlier this year.
