How to put it together
- 1
Brush your hair up into a very high, tight ponytail at the crown of your head and secure it with a strong hair tie.

Attach the wrap-around ponytail extension, securing it with bobby pins and wrapping a small section of hair around the base to hide the band.
- 3
Put on the oversized sweatshirt, ensuring it is long enough to function as a mini dress.
- 4
Pull on the thigh-high boots, adjusting them so they sit comfortably above the knee.
- 5
Apply signature makeup, focusing on a sharp, winged black eyeliner and neutral lips.

Put on the choker necklace and grab your toy microphone to complete the pop star look.
Makeup & hair
Style your hair into a sleek, sky-high ponytail with no flyaways. For makeup, apply a flawless matte base, a sharp and dramatic black winged cat-eye liner, and a glossy nude or soft pink lip.
