Megan Thee Stallion: See Her Complete Style Evolution

Check out the rapper's style evolution from her early days to her current glam.

March 17, 2023

Since she burst onto the scene in 2019 with her mixtape Fever, rapper Megan Thee Stallion has swiftly become not only a music icon, but a fashion superstar too. Megan loves to change up her look; one day she'll be rocking bright cherry red hair and the next, performing in curls and a corset bodysuit.

While the ultimate Hot Girl Coach always keeps us guessing when it comes to her ensembles, a few elements have stuck with the Houston rapper since her early days. Megan loves a good catsuit, never shies away from prints and bright colors (especially red!) and goes full Hollywood glam for big red carpet events, often choosing slinky, sequined gowns or bold ruffled silhouettes.

"I choose my own clothing," Megan wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times in 2020 called “Why I Speak Up for Black Women,” which directly addressed those who criticized her sexier looks. "Let me repeat: I choose what I wear, not because I am trying to appeal to men, but because I am showing pride in my appearance, and a positive body image is central to who I am as a woman and a performer."

From her early days attending awards shows to how her onstage outfits have evolved into a now-signature look, check out Megan Thee Stallion's style evolution.
