Doechii Transforms Into a Couture Queen in Hot off the Runway Valentino Gown

Doechii glitters in gold.

The Grammy-winning rapper, 26, made her debut at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre in Paris on Tuesday, March 4 in a Valentino couture design.

She arrived at the event in a bold gold ballgown from Valentino’s Spring Summer 2025 couture collection, “Vertigineux.” The collection was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week on Jan. 29 and marked the debut of Alessandro Michele as the brand’s creative director.

The dramatic embellished ballgown included long sleeves and a turtleneck, creating a modest silhouette. The dress then expanded to a full wide skirt that showed off intricate silver embellishments.

“Each dress is not just an object, it’s rather the knot of a net of significance: a living cartography that keeps traces of visual and symbolic memories,” the designer wrote of the collection in his notes, per WWD.

To complete her glam, Doechii wore her hair in a sleek high bun. Her makeup included a subtle pink eyeshadow to complement her rosy pink blush and deep wine lipgloss.

At the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre event, the rapper gave a surprise performance — but changed into a custom Schiaparelli denim set, according to Vogue.

“To all the Americans, welcome to Paris,” she announced, per the outlet. “And for all the Parisians, welcome to Doechii.”

Her performance began with her 2023 song, “Persuasive,” and she then rapped fan-favorite, “Denial is a River" for the crowd, per Vogue.

Hours before she arrived, she re-released one of her songs, "Anxiety." The singer first dropped the song on YouTube in 2021, before her big breakout in 2024, she explained via her Instagram Stories, per Rolling Stone.

Throughout the original song, she raps over Gotye and Kimbra’s 2011 hit “Somebody That I Used to Know." However, the young artist couldn't clear the song for distribution at the time. Two years later, Sleepy Hallow sampled her “Anxiety” track on his own song of the same name.

However, since its initial release, the song has garnered newfound viral appreciation on TikTok, and she released the full version on Tuesday, March 4.
