In a photo for British Vogue, Charli XCX stunned in an Ann Demeulemeester shirt and lacy knickers. The singer has had a busy first quarter of 2026, between the release of her companion album to Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” and her mockumentary film, “The Moment.” Her May 2026 cover story for British Vogue marks her debut for the magazine.
Charli XCX elevates Ann Demeulemeester tuxedo shirt with lacy knickers for British Vogue
Charli XCX wore an Ann Demeulemeester twill jacket over her cotton tuxedo shirt from the same designer. The jacket had a sharp, authoritative frame with its structured shoulders and metallic detailing. However, the tuxedo shirt beneath subverted the jacket’s formality. Instead of styling the shirt traditionally, she wore it unbuttoned and draped haphazardly, turning a symbol of high-society formalwear into an expression of raw, poetic disarray.
The lower half of her look was more daring and boudoir-inspired, as the “Brat” hitmaker tucked the front of her shirt into her lacy knickers from What Katy Did. By swapping a pair of trousers for just knickers, she added a sense of vulnerability to her outfit. The stark contrast in her styling made her look deeply personal, slightly rebellious, and timelessly gothic.
Charli wore her long black hair in unkempt curls as she posed with one hand above her head and her mouth slightly agape. The pose and her hairstyle added to the undone feel of her look. Meanwhile, the high-contrast lighting evoked the feeling of a backstage moment in a 1970s rock club.
In another photo from the same shoot, the Grammy winner donned a black leather midi dress from Saint Laurent. It was Look 12 from the House’s Spring/Summer 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection. A slightly off-center zipper ran vertically down the dress. A matching black belt cinched the dress at the waist. Underneath it, she wore a white poplin shirt and completed her look with leather slingback pumps.
