Doja Cat wowed onlookers on Monday as she arrived at Schiaparelli's latest runway show in a dramatic head-to-toe look adorned with red body paint and 30,000 Swarovski crystals.

Doja Cat's fittingly devilish outfit featured a silk bustier, a skirt covered in lacquered wooden beads and a pair of matching red boots.

Writing on social media Monday, McGrath described the look as "Doja's Inferno." The makeup artist also posted a behind-the-scenes timelapse video showing her team painting the star's skin and applying thousands of crystals by hand.

In a caption for another video, McGrath described the singer's "sublime patience" as "inspiring." Roseberry, who in 2019 became the first American to lead a French couture house, meanwhile posted a picture of himself with Doja Cat to Instagram while honoring the makeup artist's "genius."

Doja Cat arrived at the show with stylist Brett Alan Nelson, who wore a matching red suit and long jacket by Vetements. She then took a front-row seat just a feet away from Kylie Jenner, who also made headlines with a black velvet strapless gown adorned with a life-sized faux lion head.

On the runway, other items of Schiaparelli's "faux-taxidermy" were on display, with Naomi Campbell and Irina Shayk among those to appear on the catwalk wearing similar animal head gowns.
