At the iHeartRadio Music Awards, Kehlani once again proved why she undoubtedly is one of the most fearless style icons in music today.
Kehlani stepped onto the red carpet wearing a striking black gown by Miss Claire Sullivan. Her bold, artistic, and confident look quickly became one of the night’s most talked-about fashion moments.
The gown had a structured, corset-inspired bodice that shaped a sharp, sculpted silhouette. The real highlight was its dramatically high slit, which added movement, edge, and undeniable impact to the look.
The slit flowed from the hip down to the floor, adding drama with every step. It also showed off Kehlani’s tattoos, making the outfit feel more personal and expressive.
The fabric itself added to the effect, catching light subtly and creating a rich, fluid motion on the carpet.
The overall style leaned into modern gothic glamour, a look Kehlani has mastered over time. It balanced strength with elegance, giving off a bold, almost cinematic presence.

Paired with towering platforms by Andrea Wazen, the outfit added height and structure, perfectly complementing the gown’s long, flowing silhouette.
Kehlani kept the rest of the styling clean and intentional:
- Hair: Sleek updo with a middle part and soft face-framing strands
- Makeup: Nude lip with sharp eyeliner for a refined finish
- Jewelry: Subtle silver accents to match the cool tones of the outfit
Nothing felt excessive. Every detail supported the overall vision without detracting from the statement dress.
What truly elevated the look wasn’t just the design; it was the way Kehlani carried it.
With every step, she brought a sense of control and confidence that turned the outfit into more than fashion; it became a statement.
