Lil Nas X stylist Hodo Musa won't say which designer will dress the 'Old Town Road' star, but promises 'the most high-end red carpet we’ve ever had.'
When it’s your job to dress a star whose hit song name drops a “cowboy hat from Gucci, Wrangler on my booty ... diamond rings and Fendi sports bras,” your fashion game better be sharp.
The 36-year-old, who began styling Lil Nas X in May, honed her style while modeling in London, studying fashion design in Oslo, styling Norwegian pop singers and creating costumes for operas based on the Supremes and Bob Marley. Her familiarity with theatrics, coupled with a fondness for mixing high- and low-end brands, comes in handy with Lil Nas X.
“We personally try to stay in a neutral mind and do things that come from the heart,” she says. “It’s not this deep [thinking] that we’re going to change the world. If you have the right influence and reference and knowledge of the designers you want to work with, all of these things come naturally.”She continues, “My dream is to work with Lil Nas X forever and maybe start his fashion house and work with him and direct that.
Musa has earned respect from other fashion insiders. “I love her ideas,” says Gladys Tamez, who’s created hats for Lil Nas X as well as Beyoncé and Lady Gaga in her L.A. studio. “To work with Hodo and create this zebra color, this yellow hat, this red [one], with Swarovski [crystals] — it’s super-fun.”Lil Nas X in a custom Union Western Clothing suit, Gladys Tamez Millinery hat and pskaufman boots, accepting one of his MTV Video Music Awards with Billy Ray Cyrus in August 2019.
