Recently, FKA Twigs inadvertently caused a scandal in her native Britain for what she wasn’t wearing. The country’s Advertising Standards Authority ruled that her Calvin Klein underwear campaign was “likely to cause serious offense,” a decision that was met with widespread derision (including from Twigs herself). Then again, we certainly don’t mind when Twigs wears more clothes. She’s currently one of most unique celebrity fashion girls. Even when houses dress her up head-to-toe, she still manages to look like no one else. Twigs has a tendency to make Chanel look just as fresh and edgy as a garment she pulled straight off an up-and-coming student designer’s runway. She also has a keen knack for pulling vintage, often wearing archive garments that she’s collected for her personal closet. The British musician once famously sang “Didn’t I do it for you?” but you get the sense that when she’s putting an outfit together, she’s doing it only for herself. Here, a look back at Twigs’s best red carpet fashion moments.

2024: British Vogue Event

Twigs’ daring choice to wear sky-high pumps certainly paid off during a British Vogue event. She paired her towering Vivienne Westwood shoes with a sequined mini dress and a fuzzy cape (complete with halo-like 3D details) also from the British label.

During his run at Maison Margiela, John Galliano doubled down on making deconstruction elegant. This dress Twigs wore the 2023 Met Gala was a perfect example of his design ethos.

No matter what Charli XCX thought, FKA Twigs looked great at Moncler Genius’s presentation during London Fashion Week. She layered leg warmers over a pair of Rick Owens Kiss boots, and wore her Moncler puffer jacket as a backpack.

Back in his days as creative director of W, Edward Enninful loved to imbue photoshoots with a sense of the macabre—so the devil horns Twigs wore to his birthday party in 2023 were the perfect touch.

2022: Fashion Awards

While some Real Housewives have co-opted Rick Owens’s “Prong” dress, you have to be a real fashion risk-taker to wear some of the designer’s other pieces. So of course Twigs wore head-to-toe Rick at the 2022 Fashion Awards.

2022: Simone Rocha
