Rapper Saweetie and R&B star Coco Jones both turned heads in a fiery red LaQuan Smith gown, each bringing their own flair to the $2,750 sequin-embroidered masterpiece. With its plunging neckline, midriff cutout, and sultry back slit, the dress channels Moroccan allure—a signature of Smith’s bold aesthetic.
Saweetie, 30, wore the gown during New York Fashion Week, attending Smith’s runway show. She kept accessories minimal with a silver cuff and standout earrings, while her glam featured a dramatic red ombre lip, smoky eyes, and an intricate updo with bantu knots and a side swoop. Reflecting on her journey, she shared how she evolved from standing-room-only to front-row status at Smith’s shows.
Meanwhile, Coco Jones chose the same gown for the 2023 BET Awards, letting its design take center stage. She paired it with lavender drop earrings and styled her hair in a sleek pulled-back look with soft face-framing strands. Her nude-toned makeup added a touch of understated elegance. Though the fit varied slightly due to their different body types, both women showcased the gown’s figure-flattering design and their sculpted abs.
So, who wore it best—Saweetie or Coco?
