Prominently models walked the runway in the lion-head dress and with the she-wolf design on an all-black cloak to symbolize lust, pride, and avarice.
Animal-head dresses are not the only attraction. A dark tuxedo with futuristic jumpsuit shoulders and a bronze bustier is interesting. Doja Cat wore red jewelry and makeup to make a statement. Hand-applying 30,000 Swarovski crystals took over five hours.
