If you thought we’d seen every possible crossover between music and fashion, Doja Cat just flipped the script. With the launch of her “Gorgeous” video, she turned the camera on beauty inside a runway fantasy — and cast the ultimate it‑girl ensemble.
The video opens with a tongue‑in‑cheek nod to retro beauty ads: Doja, alone, applying a bold lipstick in a faux “Gorgeous” commercial. Then the parade begins — sequins, ’80s hair, liquid textures — and the models we’re all bookmarking step in.
Here are the names you’ll want to remember:
Alex Consani — Featured prominently, often in tandem with Doja, making bold, model‑mug moments.
Anok Yai — Her presence is magnetic, layering supermodel calm over cinematic energy.Irina Shayk — The eternal runway queen, tempered by shadow and light in “Gorgeous.”Yseult — French singer turned style icon stepping into modeling terrain with confidence and poise.
Paloma Elsesser — Opens the video in striking minimalism, commanding attention from moment one.
Amelia Gray Hamlin — Plays the vixen role beautifully against this high-gloss backdrop.
Ugbad Abdi, Alek Wek, Imaan Hammam, Mona Tougaard, Karen Elson, Sora Choi, and Deborah Sawyer (Doja’s mother) all appear in dramatic, stylized sequences, rounding out a model cast that spans generations.
Why It Works
This isn’t a music video. It’s a high-concept beauty editorial given motion. Every outfit, every pose, every camera angle is calibrated to feel as if it launched from a couture campaign. Doja didn’t just borrow from fashion — she borrowed fashion’s language.
And by casting models from multiple eras — from Alek Wek to Paloma Elsesser — she sends a message: beauty isn’t a moment. It’s continuous. Legacy matters.
Voir’s Take
If your fashion dreams had a crossover single, this would be it.
Doja’s “Gorgeous” became a runway for beauty itself — and she built a stage populated by icons, turning every frame into something to screenshot, rewatch, and covet.
Stay tuned: we’ll be breaking down looks, styling ideas, and how to channel some of that Gorgeous energy IRL.
