Shop Lily-Rose Depp's Best Looks From 'The Idol'
Whether or not you like the show, Lily-Rose Depp's character has a sense of style worth copying.
It's safe to say that director Sam Levinson's new show, The Idol, hasn't garnered the best reception. What at first seemed scandalous and sexy in a show about exploitation in Hollywood quickly turned gratuitously explicit, so much so that the season is even wrapping up an episode early.
Regardless, Lily-Rose Depp's pop star character, Jocelyn, sure does know how to dress. The costuming done by designer Natasha Newman-Thomas perfectly exudes the glamour of celebrity fame. Yet, in a series about abuse, bordering on romanticization, that allure comes with a certain darkness and apathy, sartorially conveyed through barely-there tops and micro mini skirts that put Jocelyn on full display. So, while people may not be gravitating to the show for its plot or character dynamics, Depp's wardrobe makes a strong case to watch for the fashion.
Keep scrolling to take a look at Jocelyn's best looks in The Idol, and some of our own recommendations to remake the outfits yourself. Just make sure you keep the impeccable style and drop the creepy club owner.

Jocelyn wears this light blue dress when she agrees to go to the club with Dyanne (Jennie Kim). She first meets Tedros (Abel “The Weeknd” Tesfaye) in this dress, and the innocuous colour but unlined fabric sets an eerie tone. Unfortunately, the dress is sold out online.

In the music video Jocelyn films for her new single, she wears a gorgeous Nusi Quero custom. Interestingly, Beyonce also dons the designer in her Renaissance album cover, released after The Idol already filmed Jocelyn's scenes with the outfit. Clearly, the designer knows great music. The bodysuit may not be available for purchase, but there are plenty of other options to rock with confidence that exude Jocelyn's fierce attitude.
Ariella Bodysuit, $78, Revolve
While not a bodysuit, this fierce bra rivals the metallic colour and sexiness of Jocelyn's look. Pair it with its matching suspenders to really match her energy.

Jocelyn wears a Greg Lauren dress from his 2016 collection while performing on tour. The scene was actually filmed during The Weeknd's LA leg of his tour, where Depp came onstage in this jaw-dropping gown, getting authentic gasps and cheers from the audience for the episode. The dress is not available for purchase, but other sheer white maxi dresses look glamorous without looking bridal.

The burnt orange colour of the top is so cool, and the lacing and vintage look of this bustier from Guess screams fame and excellence.
Lace-up Bustier Top, $330, Guess
Jocelyn pairs the orange Saint Laurent top with a matching pair of shorts, mega high rise and mega little.
Jersey Hot Short, $1,550, Fwrd

Jocelyn wears this beautiful Maison Margiela black netted maxi dress in the show during a dinner party she hosts with Tedros. The feathered design gives off old-Hollywood glamour, but the see-through look is anything but old-fashioned. It's an incredibly difficult and uncomfortable dinner for Jocelyn as her past abuse is brought up, and the dress makes her look so vulnerable while still poised and elegant.
Semi-Sheer Netted Maxi Dress, $2,430, Yoox
A close match, this maxi dress from St. Agni includes a black sheer and floral pattern that is just as beautiful as the original dress.

A little sportier, this racerback tank still keeps it minimal and cool.
Goddess Rib Cropped Dynamite Tank, $78, Alo
