Seriously, it’s a treasure trove of inspiration. Here, we chart all her best looks, from 'Say So' to 'Mooo!'

Doja Cat has taken the world by storm! Ever since her music video 'Say So' came out just a week ago, it hit the highest charting song by a female artist on Spotify, and the world has not been able to keep their eyes off her. 

Catchy music notwithstanding, the LA-born musician and record producer has a likeable sense of humour, and a refreshingly devil may care attitude which may just have played a part in her meteoric rise.

And it certainly helps that she’s got some killer makeup looks too. A signature to the 24-year-old's look is over the top lashes and cat eye liner, which perfectly accentuates the natural shape of her eyes, topped with a dash of bold eyeshadow, and a coloured wig every so often.

 Many of her looks are deliciously over the top, and we are definitely inspired. Ahead, we chart all her best music video looks, from her most recent, 'Say So', to earlier renditions, with 'MOOO!'

Streets (2020) 

Though technically a vevo lift live performance, this was so good, it’d be a shame if it wasn't on the list.  Her rendition of 'Streets' from her 'Hot Pink' album has Doja singing in a pool of milk (a subtle nod to her kitty persona) in what appears to be like a Turrell-style installation. She is dressed in an all-white ensemble, adorned in pearls with gorgeously Targaryen-like, white flowing, crimped hair. Her makeup is kept natural here, but with thick, fluttery lashes that perfectly match the mood of the song.

Say So (2020)

This MV itself is a treasure trove of beauty inspiration, and an ode to 70s beauty disco looks.

The original makeup look was created by Los Angeles-based celebrity makeup artist, David Valesquez, who also did the makeup for Doja Cat’s album art, “Hot Pink” and all corresponding music video, and a celebrity clientele that include Ariana Grande, Kali Uchis, and Cardi B.

In her first look, Doja starts out with something a little more subtle. Fluttery, dramatic lashes, a la Twiggy style, with white eyeshadow and a nude lipstick to make up the look.

The most iconic makeup of all, is this one, with pastel blue eyeshadow, topped with glitter on her upper and lower eyelids, that hints at the ‘70s disco factor that comes up later.

It’s sparked a trend in its wake, with many beauty bloggers giving this 70s inspired look a spin. Beauty vlogger Zoe Amira, has even created a handy tutorial if you’d like to achieve the look, here.

In the ending disco scene, the drama, and glitter, amps up, featuring a serious coating of silver glitter on her eyelids, topped with a dramatic afro ‘do.

 

Boss Bitch (2020)

Lovingly coined as "meow grunge," this look features a smudged black eyeliner detail and slicked back bright orange hair, and metallic nails that pair well together in a mix of glamarous and grunge.

Juicy (2019)

With a music video like 'Juicy,' it’s only expected that the makeup look is just as well, juicy. Doja here is inspired by various fruits, from watermelons, cherries, to bananas, and pin up girls, featuring a classic red lip and jet black hair bob combination.

Cyber Sex (2019)

Here, Doja presents a futuristic spin on camming, and is dressed in a robotic inspired look that has her looking like an ethereal mix between robot and alien.

Bottom Bitch (2019) 

Can we just compliment Doja on how she’s successfully created an alternative rap/rock bop? The makeup here reflects that element, with a look that’s a cross between Nicki Minaj and early 2000s Avril Lavigne. 

Go To Town (2018)

Is there a wig that Doja can't pull off?! In this MV, she wears a a range of candy-hued wigs, from mint to orange that are slightly Marie Antoinette-inspired, paired with a light sweet blushpink eyeshadow and lips, for an overall look that is cloyingly sweet (but we can't get enough of).

Mooo! (2018)

The meme-worthy song that first brought Doja into the spotlight. This MV comes from the wrong, or right side of the internet, depending on your stance. Whatever the case, it’s infectious af. We’ve never wanted to be a cow so much. The low-fi elements really came together to make really work - props to her for making a window XP desktop wallpaper as one of her backdrops. She’s really that b****. 

Apparently, Doja took inspiration from the cow print outfit you see in her MV. To really let that cow element shine through, Doja keeps her makeup pared down with black eyeliner, and a natural pink lipstick, and two ponytail buns for some pretty cute effect. She also pairs this with a second lolita-esque look, in a sweet blush and light pink eyeshadow.
