Doja Cat is bondage-chic in black latex on the Grammys 2023 red carpet

Leave it to Doja Cat to steal the show on the Grammys 2023 red carpet.

The “Say So” singer, 27, opted for a skintight black latex Atelier Versace mermaid gown with matching dramatic gloves for the awards show Sunday.

Doja showed off behind-the-scenes moments on Instagram ahead of hitting the carpet, sharing Instagram photos of her S&M-inspired getup.

She accessorized the sexy, second-skin gown with black curlicue hoop earrings by Panconesi.

Doja kept the goth glamour going with a jet0black pixie cut, dramatic cat eye and shimmering lipstick.

Donatella Versace commented on the superstar’s pretty-meets-punk ensemble, calling it “MAJOR gorgeousness.”

Fellow songstress Chloe Bailey said she was “OBSESSED,” Normani described it as “too good” and her former Fifth Harmony bandmate Lauren Jauregui commented, “YES MAMA.”

Ahead of the big night, Doja was tight-lipped about her look, but hinted to Variety, “At the last Grammys, we were good at capturing a beautiful, glamorous look, but I want to follow a different story with this next visual content. This is a new era.”

Added the songstress, “If I had to describe my Grammys 2023 look in one word, it would be brutalist.”

Later in the night, Doja swapped her black latex for a brown, strapless custom Knwls gown with lace-up cut-outs on the side.

She also switched up her hair, adding a long wig in a messy, Pam Anderson-inspired updo with choppy front layers.

Doja is nominated for five awards this year: Record of the Year, Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Music Video (all for “Woman”), Best Pop Duo/Group Performance (for “I Like You (Happier Song)” with Post Malone), Best Rap Performance (for “Vegas”).

Doja took Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week by storm last month in a series of wild styles, covering her face and body in more than 30,000 red crystals at Schiaparelli, subbing in false lashes for facial hair at Viktor & Rolf and clutching a $20,000 bedazzled tequila purse at Valentino.

The bald-headed rapper isn’t afraid to get into it when it comes to her outlandish outfits, often clapping back at critics of her envelope-pushing looks on social media.
