In a heartwarming nod to fashion icon André Leon Talley, rapper Doechii blessed our timelines with a tribute that’s as fly as it is spot on. Ahead of her Met Gala debut, the rising star hit the ‘Gram, recreating one of André’s legendary Louis Vuitton-draped hotel exits.
And the Swamp Princess nailed it.
Doechii Channels André Leon Talley Ahead Of The Met Gala
Serving effortless swag and joy, Doechii posed in front of a classic hotel background draped in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton gear. Her fit was complete with a chic navy monogrammed scarf, a classic LV travel trunk suitcase, an iconic tennis racket case, and an oversized duffle bag.
Doechii served rich auntie energy with a side of high-fashion drama—exactly how Mr. Talley would have loved it. Each accessory was intentional and reminiscent of Talley’s similar fashion moment.
Doechii captured the essence of André’s larger-than-life persona and the playful energy. The “Anxiety” raptress made sure the tribute was not just about style but also about celebrating his vibrant spirit and the indelible mark he left on Black culture and high fashion. (She shared his version of the picture in her IG Stories.)

Doechii’s Met Gala Moment Is Well Deserved, Her Style Continues To Evolve & Turn Heads
And it’s not just this moment that proves Doechii is a budding fashion icon and cultural movement, but many more. She’s been building her fashion legacy right alongside her music career – and we love that for her. From turning heads during fashion weeks to pushing boundaries with styling and face tape, Doechii is that girl.
Earlier this year, the femcee also paid homage to Naomi Campbell by running down the runway during the 30th anniversary show of the iconic luxury brand DSquared2. Clad in sexy-yet-urban, high-fashion streetwear, and strutting confidently in heels, the moment celebrated fearless femininity, style, and Black fashion history.
So, her latest Talley tribute just adds to the hype around her style journey and Met Gala debut. What is Doechii going to wear? Who is she going to wear? And will we be gagging? (Probably.)
