‘Twas the second weekend of gay Christmas, the girls, gays and theys were stressing about what to wear for the next round of Mardi Gras. You’ve already posted your hawt outfits from last weekend (and stunned your enemies), but what do you wear this weekend??
You need a grand spanking total of six outfits for day and night — not including outfit changes. Talking about spanking, hopefully that’s what you’ll be getting from a daddy or a zaddy at the end of the night…
So, do not fret, young fairy, as the queer godmothers have blessed us with style inspo. We’ll get you so snatched that your ex will be as gagged as your reflex — maybe I should text them after all. *Cough.*
Anyway, here’s your Mardi Gras lookbook for 2025.
@pedestriantv You’ve probably seen Higgins’ work on the likes of Hunter Schafer, Troye Sivan and Heartbreak High’s James Majoos. Now it’s time to meet the designer behind the illustrious clothes. #alixhiggins #sydney #fashion #fashiontok #sydneyfashion #sydneydesigner ♬ A cool rhythm loop with a sci-fi feel / House music(1564084) – Yumit St.
Mardi Gras Outfit Inspo
Sandy Mcintyre
Mardi Gras, for me, is a time to feel chic yet comfortable. If I’m going to be in the same outfit all day, it needs to breathe, look good and feel luxe. Last year, I wore a set from Australian Queer Designer Gary Bigeni, and this year, I’ll be wearing an outfit sourced from SWOP.
[Including] a black and yellow Ralph Lauren tartan mini kilt, a black silk de-constructed blouse that is loose, flowy and dreamy all in one. Shoes will be thigh-high combat boots and, for make-up, natural with a dark smokey eye.
With the rise of Charli XCX’s “messy girl” aesthetic, I imagine there will be many shorts, skirts, tank tops/slogan tees, boots, and sunglasses — think Juicy Couture X Boho girlie. This year, we’re going out in the streets to a) look cute, b) fight for our rights, and c) celebrate our identities…so it’s important to dress appropriately.
Shop Sandy’s recommendations:
- Black and yellow tartan mini kilt, $82
- Black silk shirt, $420
- Dark smokey eye shadow palette, $125
- Mini leopard print skirt, $70
- Booty faux leather shorts, $36
- Gay son, hot daughter crop top, $31
- Charli XCX sunglasses, $244
- Juicy Couture pants, 65
- Boho print linen top, $29

This year, my outfit for Mardi Gras is best described as ‘slutty elf sailor’, chosen almost entirely by a pair of dramatic white pants that I’ve purchased that need to be showcased. Wearing white could be dangerous, but what is Mardi Gras fashion without the risk that a spilled vial of amyl will destroy your entire outfit?
I’ll be pairing these pants, pantaloons? With a white lace crop top, a jaunty little neckerchief, and pink cowboy boots, and I shall be festooned in fake pearls.
The pearls and pants combo will help tie into what I think will be the defining fashion moment of Mardi Gras 2025: recreating Nicole Kidman dancing in business formal at a rave in Babygirl.
Apart from the Babygirl scene – I truly think we’re all going to start wearing blouses and heels to the club, I think another trend will be incorporating lime green into every outfit so we can be sustainable and recycle our Brat fits.
Shop Patrick’s recommendations:
- Dramatic white pants, $120
- White lace crop top, $70
- Jaunty little neckerchief, $13
- Pink cowboy boots, $48
- Pearl necklace, $33
- Pink heels, from $90
- Brat green handbag, $385

As the vibrant streets of Darlinghurst prepare for the most anticipated celebration of the year, Mardigras 2025, I’m excited to embrace this year’s theme — “OUR FUTURE.”
I’m here to make a bold statement with an ensemble that truly embodies the essence of tomorrow. As a designer for 2EROS and SUPAWEAR, I’ll be donning the dazzling The 2EROS Metalux Series-swimwear and see-through black shorts over it, complete with a sleek silver harness and high black boots. My vision is to channel a futuristic-inspired aesthetic that not only excites but inspires.
This year, I’ve identified four standout fashion trends that encapsulate the spirit of celebration and individuality: futuristic fabrics, less is more, harness, leather and sheer statements.
I invite you to join me on Oxford St for a spectacular feast of fashion, where the past meets the future, and let’s celebrate our vibrant community with style and flair!
Shop Jason’s recommendations:
- Silver sparkly leopard print briefs, from $44
- Sheer lace-up black shorts, $218
- Silver harness, $40
- Over-the-knee black boots, $429
- Dystopian crop top, $163
- Faux leather belt hot pants, $30
- Sheer blouse, $35

Lauren Order
Mardi Gras has its foundation in political visibility and respect. A key tenant is celebrating authenticity.
In and out of drag, what I wear at this time of year reflects where my style is, what I appreciate in fashion, and how I feel. None of which have any limits.
There is a boldness and confidence in what you can wear because being loud and wholeheartedly yourself is political. That level of style can encompass anything.
I have worn suits, metal chains, rhinestoned pants, body suits, and gowns. This year, I might wear a wrestling outfit, and I will definitely be dressed as a lemon in drag. Why not, right?I think a few outfits will be greatly influenced by music. The aesthetics and styles of Billie, Charli, and Chappell will be reflected in the paradegoers, such as chrome glasses, black mesh, sports jerseys, and butterflies.
Shop Lauren’s recommendations:
- Sparkly tuxedo, $119
- Rhinestoned pants, $222
- Rainbow bodysuit, $197
- Sexy wrestling outfit, $38
- Chrome glasses, $170
- Black mesh top. $35
- Butterfly corset top, $28

This year’s fit still remains unknown; I’ll be running around Oxford Street and Paddy’s Markets to see what I can muster up. Another option is stealing a friend’s outfit OR recycling a previously worn one. The cost of living crisis is out of control! Something that gives promiscuous and sexy — a touch of slutty but not WHORE.
In the way of trends, it’s skin, skin, skin, as always! Glitter-like unicorn cum and, of course, the classic I’m too cool for an outfit, so I’ll wear all black! Plus, face gems, all things rainbow!

Honestly, I’m finding it all very overwhelming, and I’m not super comfortable showing everything off, so I have been looking at some crop tops and just shorts and boots. And obviously douse myself in buckets of glitter.
This year, for some reason — I’m expecting more leather — I guess less as a fetish/full outfit thing but more as centre pieces of outfits. Maybe some like big belt buckles and chains.
