Comparing Her Viral Cover Shoot to Harry Styles: The Reason Behind JoJo Siwa’s Analogy
JoJo Siwa Dishes on $30K Birthday Celebration for Girlfriend Dakayla Wilson (Exclusive)
JoJo Siwa knows the power of a little shock value.
The “Karma” singer made quite the splash with her recent cover of LadyGunn magazine—where she posed in a bejeweled chest plate and matching jock strap—revealing she drew inspiration for the photoshoot from another fashion-forward star.
“It’s like back in the day when Harry Styles wore a dress,” Siwa said on the Oct. 8 episode of Haliey Welch’s Talk Tuah podcast, referencing the “As It Was” singer’s 2020 Vogue magazine cover. “Obviously, wearing a bulge is a little different than wearing a dress.”
Still, the Dance Moms alum said she deliberately courted controversy with the head-turning photo spread.
“The stone bulge is—we were just giving a little spice, a little gender-bend, a little, ‘You can be anything you want to be,’” Siwa, 21, proclaimed. “It just was spicing myself up a little.”
“One thing about me is I like to be for the people that are different, the people who don’t fit in and for the people who are just unafraid to take risks,” she continued. “And I feel like being that person, I have to go as far as I possibly can into the risk.”
