JoJo Siwa Reflects On Her Controversial “Bulge” Photoshoot And Compares Herself To Harry Styles

Buy Me A Coffee

JoJo Siwa, queen of sparkles and former bow-wearing tornado, has recently been making waves โ€“ and not just with her dance moves. The 21-year-old internet sensation caused some serious eyebrow gymnastics with her latest photoshoot for LADYGUNN, where she sported… wait for it… a glitter-covered codpiece. Yes. A whole rhinestone-encrusted cup. Like if Liberace got into sports equipment.

But JoJo didnโ€™t stop there. Oh no. She also wore an avant-garde top that was sculpted to resemble a masculine six-packโ€”because who needs crunches when you can just wear abs? Imagine: shiny bulge, glitzy pecs, and the unapologetic energy of someone who once thought 40 hair bows at once was โ€œsubtle.โ€

The Blowback Was No Bedazzled Picnic
JoJo sat down on the Talk Tuah podcast and gave us the tea about the backlash she faced for her gender-bending look. Spoiler alert: It wasnโ€™t exactly sunshine and rainbows. “Itโ€™s really hard. People are just d-cks,” JoJo said, proving that her vocabulary has evolved beyond the family-friendly Nickelodeon days.

According to her, the whole concept was meant to sprinkle a little spice on her style, like tossing cayenne on some basic spaghetti. โ€œIt was a little gender-bend moment,โ€ she explained. โ€œA little, โ€˜Hey, letโ€™s blur some lines and see what happens.โ€™ And boy, did it blur some linesโ€”and apparently some minds.โ€

Harry Styles Could Never (But Also, He Kinda Did)

JoJo also shared that she drew inspiration from THE Harry Styles and his iconic 2020 Vogue cover where he wore a dress. โ€œWearing a bedazzled bulge is obviously a bit different than wearing a dress,โ€ she said with the confidence of someone who just showed up to a black-tie event in a disco ball. (Honestly, the comparison worksโ€”both involve making certain corners of the internet very, very uncomfortable.)

But JoJoโ€™s not here to please the haters. No, sir. “One thing about me,” she declared, โ€œis that Iโ€™m for the people who are different. The ones who color outside the lines. The ones who wear socks with sandals and just go for it. If you donโ€™t take fashion risks, are you even living?โ€

Exploring the Risk Zone: JoJoโ€™s New Motto

JoJo made it clear that sheโ€™s not interested in playing it safe. “I have to go as far as I possibly can into the risk zone,” she said, as if the risk zone is some kind of glittery, high-fashion wilderness where only the bravest dare tread. (Honestly, that sounds like the plot of a Pixar movie waiting to happen: JoJo and the Bulging Frontier.)

And honestly? Props to her. Why just dabble in the shallow end of fashion when you can cannonball straight into the deep endโ€”with a rhinestone codpiece, no less? Love it or hate it, JoJoโ€™s out here living her best life, one sparkly controversy at a time.

So, in the words of JoJo herself: Be yourself. Bedazzle a bulge. Wear abs that you didnโ€™t earn. The risk zone is waiting.
