Becky G Champions Haute Couture At Iris Van Herpen Retrospective

The pop star embodies the avant-garde spirit of the Sculpting the Senses exhibition, debuting a dynamic, couture dress that merges 3D architecture with a delicate silhouette.

Attending the opening of the “Iris van Herpen: Sculpting the Senses” exhibition at the Kunsthal in Rotterdam on September 27, 2025, Becky G delivered an instantly iconic appearance worthy of the designer’s celebrated fusion of fashion and science. Her choice—a piece from Iris van Herpen’s “Syntopia” collection—was not merely an outfit; it was a wearable sculpture, perfectly encapsulating the theme of the retrospective.

The designer outfit features a high-neck, long-sleeved, mini-dress silhouette, constructed from a base of sheer, nude-toned mesh or organza. The drama, however, lies in the application: intricate black and red fin-like ruffles or petals are strategically placed across the body, meticulously mapping the contours of her form. These elements appear to be cut from a material with a slight sheen and a rigid structure—possibly 3D-printed filaments or laser-cut material—that gives the dress a startling architectural, kinetic quality. The movement and placement of these linear forms create a powerful visual tension, resembling sonic waves, a topographical map, or the delicate structures of deep-sea organisms. This is not just a celebrity dress; it is fashion as a physical manifestation of theory.

To complement the complexity of the haute couture garment, Becky G opted for sleek, minimalist styling. Her dark hair is pulled back into a slick, low ponytail, ensuring the dress’s high neckline and sculptural shoulders remain the focal point. Her makeup is equally refined, featuring a smoky, sharp eye and a glossy nude lip, highlighting her bone structure without competing with the textile drama. Accessories are limited to thin, delicate earrings, maintaining the look’s clean, futuristic sensibility. By choosing this piece for the red carpet arrivals, she not only paid tribute to the designer’s visionary work but solidified her own reputation among popular celebrities who take thoughtful risks with high-concept fashion.
