In a moment equal parts yeehaw and surrealist whimsy, Jessie Murph cradled a piglet in pink fringe—her red carpet debut at the ACMs was anything but ordinary.
There are red carpet entrances—and then there’s Jessie Murph’s. On May 8, 2025, at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards in Frisco, Texas, the breakout artist didn’t just arrive. She declared . Draped in blush-toned fringe and clutching a piglet named Wilbur, Murph turned the Ford Center at The Star into a runway of rural rebellion
The outfit? A tactile dream. Her top, a cascade of pale pink fringe, shimmered with movement, catching the light like prairie grass in a breeze. Paired with patterned trousers that nodded to Southwestern motifs, the ensemble balanced kitsch and couture with a wink. While the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the look felt like a love letter to Dolly Parton’s rhinestone legacy—filtered through Gen Z’s TikTok surrealism.
And then there was Wilbur. Styled (yes, styled) in a custom bow to match Murph’s palette, the piglet wasn’t just a prop—he was a statement. “I’ve always wanted a mini pig,” Murph told Country Now , “and then I found out miniature pigs don’t exist”. The result? A full-size farm companion turned fashion accessory, stealing hearts and headlines alike.
Murph’s makeup leaned soft and dewy, with a peachy glow and glossy lips that echoed the outfit’s romantic tones. Her hair, tousled and center-parted, added a touch of undone cool—a counterpoint to the theatricality of her look. The styling, cohesive and playful, felt like a nod to country’s evolving aesthetic: less Nashville glitz, more alt-Americana.
Jessie Murph attends the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show in Miami, fusing pop-punk attitude with futuristic, high-gloss textures for a memorable catwalk moment.
There are runway walks, and then there are statements. Jessie Murph, taking to the catwalk at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Runway Show in Miami Beach on May 31, 2025, made a powerful one. This wasn’t just about modeling; it was a full-throttle performance that blended her signature music aesthetic with a bold, almost rebellious, approach to fashion.
The look itself was a brilliant piece of visual storytelling. Murph unveiled a high-gloss, fuchsia pink mini-dress with a structured, almost armor-like construction. The garment—a stunning play of transparency and rigidity—features thin, rectangular panels that give it a decidedly futuristic, cyber-glam feel. Underneath, a delicate black lace top adds a touch of classic femininity, creating an intriguing contrast between the hard and the soft. The entire silhouette is both daring and perfectly in line with her rock-and-roll sensibility.
The styling cohesion here is what truly captivates. On her feet, she debuts a pair of intricate silver gladiator heels that snake up her calves, adding a metallic, almost warrior-like edge to the ensemble. Her hair is styled in a dramatic, half-up beehive with flowing waves, a nod to vintage glam that’s completely at odds with the modern dress. It’s this clash—this beautiful, intentional chaos—that makes the entire outfit feel fresh and unforgettable. She carries a microphone, and the pose and attitude are pure pop-star swagger, showing that she owns the runway as much as she owns a stage.
What is the golden rule of style, darling? It’s not about following trends. It’s about owning a mood, a persona, and carrying it with you—whether you’re on a red carpet in Cannes or, well, wading through the surf at Bondi Beach. Most people pack a floral maxi dress for Sydney in August, but Jenna Ortega is not most people. She’s an artist, and her art, it seems, is her aesthetic.
The moment she was spotted strolling along the iconic Australian sands on August 13, 2025, it was a magnificent contradiction—a fashion moment born from the collision of two worlds. The sun was bright, the ocean was an impossibly clear blue, and there she was, a vision in black leather. It’s an act of sartorial defiance, really, and frankly, I adore it.
Her look, a masterclass in gothic-chic, centers on a stunning black leather trench coat. The coat itself is a character, with its sharp lapels and a self-tie belt cinching the waist just so, giving it a powerful, almost architectural silhouette. It’s a piece that screams urban confidence, a statement of armor against the world. But the genius of the look—the très chic detail—is what she wore underneath: a simple, pale nude slip dress. It’s a whisper of softness, a beautiful, delicate contrast that creates a tension between the tough exterior and a subtle, almost ethereal inner world. Very Italian, that juxtaposition of strength and softness.
Of course, no true moment of street style would be complete without the right accessories. For her, it was a pair of sleek, dark sunglasses that practically shouted “do not disturb.” The ultimate touch, however, was her chunky biker boots, which she had slipped off and carried in her hand while dipping her toes into the ocean. It was a perfect, spontaneous detail that grounded the entire high-fashion look. She may be in Sydney for the opening of the Wednesday fan festival—and, let’s be honest, fresh from her role in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice —but her style is a living, breathing extension of her dark, witty persona. She doesn’t just play the role; she embodies it.
So, for those of you looking to add a little edge to your wardrobe, take a cue from Jenna. After all, a truly great look isn’t about the place, it’s about the person.
How to Master the Goth-on-the-Go Aesthetic:
- The Power of the Trench: Invest in a classic leather trench coat. It’s your foundational piece, your armor. Look for clean lines and a strong silhouette.
- Embrace the Contrast: Pair your dark, structured pieces with something unexpected—a delicate silk slip dress, a sheer top, or even a lace camisole. It’s all about the push and pull.
- Accessorize with Attitude: Keep it minimal but impactful. A killer pair of sunglasses, a bold earring, or a single statement ring. Let your clothes do the talking.
- Own the Look, No Matter the Location: The beauty of this aesthetic is its versatility. It works on a bustling city street, a premiere night, or, as we’ve seen, even a beach. Confidence is your best accessory.
