Karol G Wears Wet Look Dress on Billboard Music Awards 2023 Red Carpet
Karol G brought a wet look to the Billboard Music Awards 2023 red carpet on Sunday in Los Angeles. The singer wore a nude minidress with an abstract pattern that created the illusion of a wet fabric. She completed the outfit with clear heels by Gianvito Rossi.
Karol’s dress was similar to the look worn by Shakira in their collaborative music video “TQG,” which was released in February. Shakira wore a custom dress by designer Di Petsa, who is known for creating wet clothes. Petas created a wet technique that took six months to complete and it’s a secret that the designer keeps close to her chest.
