Charli XCX: Rewriting the Celebrity Playbook from Sicily to Paris Fashion Week

Charli XCX BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Charli XCX has been making international headlines and racking up cultural capital in every conceivable sphere over the past few days. Barely off the back of her recent wedding festivities in Sicily with George Daniel—where the guest list ran like a buzzy festival lineup including Troye Sivan and Matty Healy—Charli electrified her Instagram with images of her second, destination wedding. The ceremony, which took place in the coastal village of Scopello, was a spectacle of fashion and friendship, with Charli dazzling in a sheer bias-cut silk slip by Danielle Frankel, and later pivoting to a far more party-brat look: a black bra, mini skirt, and knee-high lace-up boots. Fans feasted on those posts, which also revealed witty Aperol spritz moments and group make-outs in full Italian summer abandon, according to Country and Townhouse.

From dolce vita to downtown Paris, Charli’s presence was impossible to miss as Paris Fashion Week stormed in. Charli was front row at the Saint Laurent Womenswear show on September 29, according to both Marie Claire and CelebMafia, and once again bent the rules of fashion gravity. Instead of typical runway-ready glam, she mixed a cropped, ‘90s-style sporty anorak with sheer lingerie shorts and black hosiery—a deliberate play of high-low, and a nod to her brand of provocative pop and in-your-face style rebellion. Paparazzi shots and fashion scribes alike fixated on the sharp contrasts of her look, with the technical outer layer dramatizing delicate lace, fueling further commentary about her influence at the intersection of pop and high fashion.

Adding cinematic ambition to her already stacked resumé, Charli just made her lead feature film debut at the Toronto International Film Festival with Erupcja. Decked out in a completely transparent black LBD, her appearance hammered home her willingness to disrupt expectations. Director Pete Ohs told Deadline that Charli purposefully chose a role that would “go against type,” embracing shyness on screen before letting her well-known Brat side shine through, signaling a future in acting that could see her shifting pop star narrative on a grander stage.

Social media buzz has remained at max volume, fueled both by her personal feed and the likes of DeuxMoi, with fans dissecting every look and every A-list cameo at her events. No major controversies have surfaced, though the sheer spectacle of her Paris and Sicilian escapades and TIFF debut has left both traditional and digital media in a frenzy, suggesting Charli XCX is rapidly rewriting her own celebrity playbook while staying unmistakably, authentically Charli.
