Doechii loves 'preppy style'
Doechii is obsessed with "preppy style" because it's "hot" and it makes her feel "confident". The 26-year-old rapper - whose real name is Jaylah Ji'mya Hickmon - admits her fashion choices always reflect where she is in her life and right now she's "really attracted" to smart student-style looks but she's not sure what it says about her yet. She told Vogue magazine: "My look says more about where I am currently in my life than it says anything about who I am. "I'm really attracted to a preppy style – it makes me feel confident, and it's hot, it's sharp, and I feel like me. This next stage in my life – I'm not sure what it's about yet." The music star's stylist Sam Woolf added of Doechii's current look: "You will see this in some of the Miu Miu, Thom Browne and Willy Chavarria looks. "Sometimes we find a look that we love and that could inspire the character we want to create for the particular project. Then we commit to it completely." Woolf expanded on the idea of Doechii being a " student of hip-hop" in her outfit choices during an interview with Forbes, explaining: "For Doechii, we've been leaning into the idea of her being a 'student of hip-hop.' "Our process always starts with the question: what are we trying to say? From there, we build different worlds within that ... it can be masculine with her, it can be feminine. "It can be sporty. It can be office wear. It can be preppy. It can be this Motown take on things ... but they all fit in that world." Doechii previously opened up about undergoing cosmetic procedures - and insisted trolls should not criticise women who chose to alter their looks. In a video posted to TikTok, she explained: 'I'm gonna keep it so real with you. You should already be out the door because I've already had cosmetic enhancements since like 2021. "Y'all really have to stop normalising making comments like these and just let women do whatever the f*** they want to do with their bodies." Doechii has never commented on what type of procedures she's had done despite plenty of speculation. Speaking on an episode of the 'We Said What We Said with Ricky and Denzel' podcast last year, the Yucky Blucky Fruitcake star said: 'It's nobody's business. We don't have to lie, but we don't have to scream it to the top of our lungs."

Lady Gaga describes Doechii as ‘immediately legendary'
The Poker Face star was reportedly an inspiration to Doechii, whose real name is Jaylah Hickmon, when she was growing up. Doechii at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2024 (Doug Peters/PA) Speaking about Doechii, who appears on the cover of British Vogue, Gaga told the magazine: 'You don't often see someone come out of the gate with a pen that feels immediately legendary. That's Doechii to me. 'I fell in love with her music and her raw, deeply personal perspective. The power in her words, her vulnerability, the way she rhymes with this wild mix of audacity and emotional precision – it struck me to the core.' Doechii presented Gaga with the Innovator award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, describing the singer as a 'lifeline'. She said: 'Lady Gaga wasn't just a pop star she was a lifeline. Gaga taught us that it was OK to be our real selves.' Doechii released her first EP, Oh The Places You'll Go, in 2020, and one of her tracks, Yucky Blucky Fruitcake, went viral. Lady Gaga at the Bafta Awards in 2022 (Ian West/PA) Her rise to fame, however, came a few years later with the release of Alligator Bites Never Heal in 2024, which includes the songs Denial Is A River, Catfish and Nissan Altima. Months later the rapper secured her first Grammy award for Best Rap Album, with nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best New Albums at the 67th award ceremony. She is also behind the viral hit Anxiety, after the YouTube video of Doechii singing the song, which samples the 2011 hit Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye and Kimbra, resurfaced. The positive online response encouraged the rapper to release the full version, which marked the first time she reached number three in the UK singles chart.
