Addison Rae Stepped Out in a Mermaid Skirt Accessorized With a Casual Shell

Good morning, fellow Addison Rae devotees and “Diet Pepsi” enthusiasts. Some news: Addison just stepped out at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards channeling her new song “Aquamarine,” and the look was perfect, I fear!

The Thanksgiving star wore head-to-toe Thom Browne, featuring a gray corset and a shimmering mermaid skirt that I need. She paired the look with glam from Pat McGrath Labs featuring their new Luminous Legends: Mega Eyeshadow Palette. Her only accessory? A seashell (+ a strand of Mikimoto pearls), thanks for asking.

In case you haven’t already watched the video for “Aquamarine,” please fix that:

Addison spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about the follow-up to her Grammy-Sure-to-Be-Winning-Like-It-Literally-Better song “Diet Pepsi,” saying, “‘Diet Pepsi’ was always going to be the first thing I dropped. This one only felt right to follow up...I think it’s very different from ‘Diet Pepsi’ but also in the same universe. And I think that was really essential—that it felt very cohesive and it can exist in the same world. I think people expect a follow-up to something like ‘Diet Pepsi’ to be very similar to it...which is exactly why I couldn’t give [it to] them. You know what I mean?”

She also mentioned that “Aquamarine” is about “transforming and finding what message you want to tell and what story you want to tell through your life” and about “rawness and acceptance.”

And yes, the title is a call back to the 2006 film Aquamarine, which Addison says she’s watched many times. “The title, I think it’s so glamorous and so beautiful,” she explained. “But yeah, I like to draw inspiration from everywhere and I never shy away from feeling like there’s something to learn from a movie, for example.”
