Both rapper Saweetie and R&B singer Coco Jones wore a sizzling haute red LaQuan Smith dress on two separate occasions, and out of the two, we can’t decide who wore it better.
The sequin-embroidered dress, which retails for $2,750, features a plunging scoop neckline and a midriff cutout with a slit at the back. Inspired by the tropical skies of Morocco, this dress is vibrant in color and seductive, two qualities that Smith has mastered.
Heading to New York Fashion Week last week to view Smith’s latest collection, the 30-year-old “My Type” rapper wore the SS23 dress with minimal accessories, including a silver-embellished cuff and statement earrings.
Her beauty and glamor were on par with a bold red ombre lip and a smokey eye that accentuated her eyes. Her updo was impeccable with a side sweep and a ponytail consisting of intricate bantu knots.
She talked about how she went from standing at one of Smith’s NYFW shows a few years ago to now sitting in the front row. In an interview with WWD, Saweetie said, “I was actually at one of his first fashion shows,” Saweetie said of her support for the designer. “But when I was with him [early] shows, I was standing, not sitting. I have evolved in the fashion world, I know that is true.”
Unlike Saweetie, Coco Jones kept things simple, letting the dress be the statement and pairing her look with dangling lavender earrings for the 2023 BET awards. She kept her hair pulled back with two strands and opted for a soft nude beat.
With a smaller bust, the dress framed Coco’s body differently than Saweetie’s dress, yet complemented both of their abs, characterized by “abs for days.”
Between Saweetie and Coco, who do you think wore the dress better?
