Sherri dons a version of Kim K’s 2021 look from Balenciaga. Sherri’s hair stylist, Theo Barrett, comments, “I gave Sherri a sleek ponytail with 40 inches of hair weighing close to 5 pounds ….”

Sherri puts on a recreation (by Roderick Reyes) of Tyla’s Balmain 2024 look. The construction of the fitted bodice dress started with making a bust of Sherri by wrapping her in Duct Tape and then using glue and sand to create the right texture for the dress. Makeup artist Rodney Jon worked to “ … make Sherri feel confident and empowered.”

Sherri’s take on Cardi B’s dress from 2019 was created by Todd Fisher. With over 200 hours of sewing, the designer used ruffles instead of feathers in this cruelty-free version of the original Thom Browne ensemble.
