Ice Spice Remixes the Naked Dress With Leopard Print at the 2024 People's Choice Awards

Ice Spice has been dominating award season with a streak of bold, Y2K-style red-carpet looks. And Sunday night at the People’s Choice Awards, she wowed us again.

No matter the event or the trend, you can count on the “Princess Diana” rapper to bring her own flair, which is exactly what she did as she entered Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.

Spice remixed the naked dress trend in a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. Her bright peachy-orange sheer gown featured a plunging neckline lined with wispy faux fur, and a floor-grazing skirt with a center slit that soared all the way up to her hips. The split, along with the dress’s delicate see-through lace, revealed her fierce choice of underclothes: a leopard-print corset with a tiny black bow at the center of the neckline, matching tights, and coordinated strappy, open-toe heels. Spice accented her striking look with luxe accessories, including a diamond tennis necklace, diamond stud earrings, and a small glossy leopard-print purse. She glammed up with glowy makeup complete with champagne highlighter, black winged eyeliner, and glossy brown lips, and styled her iconic copper hair in her signature curly Afro. She made sure to strike her best poses on the teal carpet, so that her fabulous ensemble could be appreciated from every angle.

The “Deli” hitmaker fittingly dressed like a winner, as she took home the People’s New Artist award. “I wasn’t nervous until right now,” she said in her speech to accept the honor. “This award means so much to me because it’s fan-voted, and I love my fans.”

Spice took to Instagram to commemorate her big night with a carousel of photos, including a snap with Billie Eilish, who looked as cool as ever in a gray-and-black striped sweater vest over an oversize white button-down shirt, black wide-leg trousers, and reflective chunky sneakers.

The 24-year-old rapper’s bombshell appearance comes on the heels of her attendance at the 66th Grammy Awards earlier this month. There, she paid tribute to the New York City borough she calls home, the Bronx, in a custom denim ensemble by Baby Phat. The deep-indigo set featured a tan-and-white fur-lined cropped jacket and a floor-length, high-slit maxi skirt.
