Mindy Chen Goes Full Dua Lipa in a Neon Illusion Catsuit on "Emily in Paris"

Mindy Chen's debut solo performance at La Trompette Bleue on " Emily in Paris " called for a standout fashion moment, and costume designer Marylin Fitoussi certainly delivered. In the third episode of the Netflix show's drama-filled third season , Mindy ( Ashley Park ) hits the jazz-club stage in a black floor-length robe, slowly crooning the opening lines of Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now." After finishing the first verse, she dramatically rips off the cloak, revealing a neon-yellow catsuit that epitomizes her star power and commands the audience's full attention as she covers the catchy hit. The contrasting components were intended to symbolize "yin and yang," Fitoussi told POPSUGAR - Mindy starts out "a little bit shy" and covered up because it's her first time singing alone at the nightclub, but then she sheds the drab outer layer to let her true colors shine. If those sheer cutout-esque panels didn't already tip...

Tatyana Ali Talks "RuPaul’s Secret Celebrity Drag Race" & '90s Fashion Trends

For those of us who remember watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" during its original six-season run from 1990 to 1996, Tatyana Ali is an undisputed '90s fashion icon.

After the show ended, Ali enjoyed a successful music career - releasing hits like "Daydreamin'" and "Everytime" - before returning to her acting roots.

See Harry Styles's Fashion Evolution, From 1D Polo Shirts to Feather Boas

Harry Styles 's style might be making headlines now every time he walks out his front door, but that wasn't always the case. In fact, when he first emerged into the public eye, his look was anything but unique. Almost 15 years ago, walking the red carpet with his One Direction band members, he was just another teenager in a polo shirt and jeans, styled with a pair of basketball-style sneakers. Harry Styles's outfits revolved around a hoodie sweatshirt, joggers, and graphic tees like most boys his age. Today, Harry Styles's fashion is lauded as much as his musical talents.
