Both rapper Saweetie and R&B singer Coco Jones wore a sizzling haute red LaQuan Smith gown on two different occasions, and amongst the two- we can’t decide who wore it better.
The sequin-embroidered dress retails at $2,750 and features a plunging neckline with a midriff cutout. It also has a slit on the back. Smith’s dress, which is inspired by the Moroccan tropical air, is both colorful and seductive.
On her way to New York Fashion Week last week to view Smith’s latest collection, the “My Type” rapper, 30, wore the SS23 gown with minimal accessories including a silver embellished cuff and statement earrings.
Her beauty and glamour was at the top of its game with a bold, red ombre lips and a smokey-eye that accentuated and highlighted her eyes. Her updo was immaculate, with a side swoop. The ponytail consisted of intricate Bantu knots.
She spoke about how she went from standing during one of Smith’s NYFW shows a few years ago, to now being seated front row. In an interview with WWD, Saweetie expressed, “I was actually at one of his first fashion shows,” Saweetie said of her support for the designer. “But when I was at his [early] Shows, I stood, not seated. I’ve evolved in the fashion world, I know that’s right.”
Coco Jones kept it simple and let her dress do the talking. She wore dangling earrings in lavender to the BET Awards 2023. She opted to wear her hair in a backwards style with two front strands.
With a smaller bust, the dress framed Coco’s body differently than Saweetie’s dress, yet still was complimentary to both of their midsections, characterized with ‘abs for days.’
Who do you think is the better dressed of Saweetie or Coco?
