Kid Cudi’s built a reputation as one of Hip Hop’s most daring dressers who refuses to conform to societal norms when it comes to his fashion sense.
Cudder turned heads once again on Wednesday night (November 10) when he walked the CFDA Fashion Awards red carpet in a wedding dress alongside designer Eli Russell Linnetz.
Inspired by the late Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, Cudi’s stylish look included a white tuxedo jacket, lace glove sleeces, a wedding gown, glistening cream sneakers and a veil to complete the outfit and cover his red-dyed hair.
Outside of Cobain’s influence, some fans have also likened Cudi’s bold ensemble to Dennis Rodman’s wedding dress that he famously wore while “marrying himself” in 1996.
The Ohio native posted a clip leaving the event with him taking a swig from a bottle and smoking weed while listening to Young Thug and Rowdy Rebel’s “Came and Saw.”
The fashion award show took place at NYC’s The Grill Room and also saw appearances from Aminé, J. Balvin, Ciara, Zendaya, Dapper Dan and more.
When taking a fashion risk of this magnitude, there’s naturally going to be some backlash on social media but also those who respect his fearlessness.
“Showing the kids they can do and be whoever they want,” one fan wrote.
Rocking a dress isn’t out of the realm for Kid Cudi. During his Saturday Night Live appearance earlier this year, the “Pursuit of Happiness” rapper donned a floral dress in another homage to Kurt Cobain.

It’s been a busy quarter four of 2021 for Kid Cudi. Cudder reunited with JAY-Z last week for a track titled “Gun Go Bang” off The Harder They Fall soundtrack. He also delivered his A Man Named Scott documentary which hit Amazon Prime Video on November 5.
Kid Cudi a trailblazer ?
Edit: Kid Cudi a trailblazer no question marks about it
Dude is gay. Like 90 percent of hip hop is.
Doing something someone else did in the 90s is not pioneering or innovative LOL
People will do anything for attention.
I can see if this man was casually wearing wedding dresses then I could respect the message. This is just some quasi high art fake Avante garde shit just to get attentention and distract from how shallow the boy is. He look mad uncomfortable to ijs
Nah he looks too comfortable
Cudi has no BUSSY WALLS ?
Batty boy
it’s clear as day now. this guys the hip-hop mascot for homosexuality.
He’s not even a rapper. He’s just a professional weirdo. Which is ok, but we gotta stop calling anyone black that steps in a booth a ‘rapper’. Oh, and just because you’re weird doesn’t make you an ‘artist’. You’re just insecure about your identity, masquerading as a ‘free spirit’.
Stop copying everything Kurt Cobain did 30 years ago bruh you trying do hard but you looking like a lame
Dress how you want, but surely also try to dress well. Cobain rocked that wedding dress, Cudi’s recent attempts just look daft.
No man, Cudi is channeling that scary little old woman from The Others.
Even Kurt Cobain would tell this guy to just come out the closet already.
I’m surprised people act ‘surprised’ evert yime he does this. Have they forgotten this is [the] same dude who [once] sang “People told me slow my roll I’m screaming out, Fuck that I’ma do just what I want”. “Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?” smh
I think there’s like one designated queer who always jumps on these posts about mentally ill closet cases, defending moistness.
How the fuck is this making him free?
Just com on out the closet already.
*Farts*
kurt dressed in a dress. and look wat happened to him
He offed himself. Cudder just pretends like he was suicidal but he couldn’t commit to it like his hero.
