Harry Styles has been the subject of countless headlines in the wake of the 2023 Grammys — and for all the stories thinking over his unexpected win for Album of the Year, there have been nearly as many celebrating the rainbow, sequinned, harlequin-style onesie that he wore on the red carpet. “Best dressed,” they rave. “King of jumpsuits!” 

It’s a far cry from the more mixed reception that Playboi Carti received when he took the stage at Kanye’s Donda 2 event a year ago. It wasn’t Carti’s unhinged performance of “Off the Grid,” or his appearance alongside Ye, that sent shockwaves through his fandom: It was his bold new look, which included a face full of gothic-clown makeup.

While it was likely both artists’ intention to stand out from the crowd, in fact both Harry and Carti were jumping on the bandwagon of a growing trend: A staggering amount of pop stars are “down with the clown” lately, and they’re part of a much larger, clown-crazed phenomenon. 

In music, clowncore has reached peak visibility. Styles and Carti are two of pop’s most committed clowns....

Dressing in ugly clothes is fashionable if you're white, cis male, straight, and skinny, apparently.

For women its a totally different game

I think pop has been bad camp for the last 9 years or so .

lady Gaga kinda did that in ARTPOP era , and it did her and the album no favors . 

Pronounced like “Balenciaga” . Emphasis on the “Ga”

Pop stars have been dressing weird since like the 70s?

look at David Bowie, Grace Jones, everyone in the 80s (although in the 80s they probably looked normal), Björk, etc.

0 shade, but everyone is trying to be Lady Gaga of this generation sooooo hard but nobody can do it with the artistry and perfection Gaga did in her time, even she has left that era and she dresses "normal" today but always give us memorable looks.

I mean the only one who could if she keeps being daring in a pretty neat way imo would be Doja.

Doja really has been the only celeb doing “crazy fashion” justice, she always stuns in a good way
