Doja Cat Dressed as a Lipstick for MAC Match Day
Doja Cat once again proves why she is the ideal ambassador for MAC Cosmetics. After bringing drama to the MTV VMAs red carpet by taking a bite out of her lipstick, the singer took things a step further. For MAC’s Match Day event held at the Glendale Galleria store on September 27, the 29-year-old rapper took the brand’s “I Only Wear MAC” campaign to heart, arriving in a lipstick-inspired outfit that mimicked the product itself.
Doja wore a strapless chrome corset shaped like a lipstick tube, paired with a black leather pencil skirt. She added gloves, sheer pantyhose, and platform heels, all in the shade black. Her hair was styled into a red bob and pink cap, sculpted to look like a lipstick tip, thereby replicating MAC’s signature product.

The look was the result of a collaboration between Doja’s longtime stylist Brett Alan Nelson and MAC’s creative team, who worked with costume designers to turn the product into a wearable piece.
The Match Day event was held to help customers find their perfect lipstick match, and Doja’s transformation into a literal tube fits perfectly to the concept. Rather than just wearing a MAC shade, she decided to be the product itself, turning her entrance into part of the campaign.

Inside the Glendale Galleria store, she posed with fans, tested shades with MAC artists, and spoke briefly about the brand. Her bold outfit served as a walking advertisement for the brand.
From shaving her head and eyebrows during a live stream to wearing full body paint at Paris Fashion Week, Doja always treats fashion as another part of her artistic identity. This partnership with MAC Cosmetics is beneficial to both parties: she promotes the brand’s products in inventive ways that double as marketing, gaining more attention through her unique skills.

By teaming up with a star who is always unpredictable, the company signals that it’s willing to experiment and meet its audience where excitement lives. Whether she’s biting a lipstick on the VMAs carpet or wearing one as a corset, Doja Cat ensures that people are watching and talking.
