NYLON Fit Picks: Kid Cudi’s ‘SNL’ Dress, Megan Thee Stallion’s Travel Style, & More Celebrity Looks
A weekly roundup of our favorite celebrity outfits.
Welcome to NYLON's Fit Picks, a weekly roundup of our favorite celebrity outfits.
Kid Cudi’s floral dress from this weekend’s SNL certainly got people talking. The gender-bending tribute to Kurt Cobain, just a few days after the 27th anniversary of his death, was a custom look for Cudi created by Virgil Abloh for Off-White. The designer spoke to GQ about the vision behind the dress and what he hopes viewers will take from it.
“2020 was a year of reckoning about how the system in place that governs us as people is out of date. My work exists in the space of pop culture,” Abloh said. “Gender norms and racial freedoms are amongst the most important things in society that need to be updated. As a fashion designer, moments like this let me know that there is space for intellect and risk for the sake of expanding space. I could care less about the attention. I hope today there’s some kid in middle America that feels empowered by what Cudi used our privilege and platform to do.”
Cudi reached out to Abloh, a friend of his for over 10 years, and told the designer he needed a dress for SNL. What happened after was fashion history, and the next stone laid in the path of womenswear as menswear.
Plus, it just so happens to be a sneak peek into Cudi’s upcoming collaboration with Off-White, which he announced after his performance via Twitter and was later confirmed by the brand to NYLON on Monday.
Check out Kid Cudi performing “Sad People” in his custom floral dress on SNL, below.
