Hair and fire: Doja Cat’s blistering set boasts copious amounts of both, often in worryingly close proximity. The star herself is modelling a new look tonight, a date added owing to demand. While her first night in London Doja was a blonde, tonight, she sports a long black fringed wig with rectangular glasses, giving this frequently shape-shifting artist the unexpected form of a sexy secretary in a temper.
Doja Cat’s excellent live band are perched atop risers entirely covered in blond extensions; later, a giant Rapunzel-like plait descends from the heavens for Doja Cat to rub herself up against. The set is not quite as shaggy as the rapper singer’s standout performance at the US Coachella festival in California in April, where her dancers resembled a bevy of headbanging Cousin Itts from The Addams Family, but it is enough to make a point. Back in 2022, the artist born Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini shaved her head and eyebrows on Instagram live, resulting in both alarm and dismay among her fans. In typically robust style, Doja Cat met those feelings with a bristle. You want hair, her set asks? Here’s your hair.
