Let’s talk JoJo Siwa. The queen of candy-colored bows and sugary pop tunes has thrown us all a curveball with her recent stylistic shift. Don’t get me wrong, I still love her infectious energy, but there’s a whole new layer to JoJo now, and honestly? I’m kind of living for it.
From Rainbow Dreams to Darker Delights
We all know the JoJo of old: glitter explosions, rainbows everywhere, and those iconic bows that were practically a second personality. But lately, her social media has been a revelation. Bolder eyeliner? Check. Dramatic lipstick shades that would make a vampire jealous? Absolutely. JoJo Siwa’s recent shift towards a bolder, edgier look has fans buzzing. We delve into the surprising emo and metal influences of her new found aesthetic, especially the darker clothing and chunky accessories.
A Spark of Emo, a Roar of KISS
This edgy turn has me seeing some serious emo and metal influences peeking through. Sure, it’s not a full-on Wednesday Addams makeover, but the inspiration is undeniable. JoJo’s recent black lipstick obsession isn’t just channeling classic emo vibes, it’s tapping into the outrageous theatricality of KISS – those legendary rock gods with their face paint and wild costumes. The vibe? Bold, unapologetic, and a major departure from her signature sparkly sweetness. Hey, we gotta respect the experimentation!
Playing with the Rules of Rock
Maybe this is JoJo’s way of breaking free from her super-cute childhood persona and embracing a more rock and roll identity. Or maybe it’s just a playful exploration of fashion, a chance to see what styles resonate with her now. The release of her recent music video ‘Karma’ includes JoJo’s hair teased into a messy mowhawk held together with lashings of hairspray; definitely a nod to classic punk style. JoJo’s Instagram also gives us a peek into what she wears on the daily, with bows and glitter being replaced by oversized shirts, baggy jeans that are usually paired with slightly whackier accessories (yes we’re talking about those flouro teddy sneakers). It’s time to shed the outdated notion that JoJo’s vibrant style would forever remain frozen in time. We can’t keep her confined to the brightly colored box of her childhood persona. JoJo is breaking free, embracing a new chapter of self-expression that shatters those restrictive expectations.
Beyond the Bubblegum Pop Prism
JoJo’s stylistic shift is a breath of fresh air. It shows that there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to personal style, and that even glitter and rainbows can coexist with the drama of emo and the rebellion of metal. It’s all about finding what makes you feel good, and who knows, maybe a little bit of black lipstick can coexist with a sequined bowtie.
The Future of Shimmer and Shred
Whether this is a temporary phase or a long-term change, one thing’s for sure: JoJo Siwa is no longer playing it safe. She’s a young woman embracing the power of experimentation, and her journey is far from over. It will be fascinating to see how she continues with this newfound edge, creating a unique space in the ever-evolving world of fashion.
And hey, even if it is a bit cringey at times, I’m here for it. Go get ’em, JoJo!
