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

JoJo Siwa, queen of sparkles and former bow-wearing tornado, has recently been making waves – 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 didn’t stop there. Oh no. She also wore an avant-garde top that was sculpted to resemble a masculine six-pack—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 “subtle.”

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 wasn’t exactly sunshine and rainbows. “It’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. “It was a little gender-bend moment,” she explained. “A little, ‘Hey, let’s blur some lines and see what happens.’ And boy, did it blur some lines—and apparently some minds.”

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. “Wearing a bedazzled bulge is obviously a bit different than wearing a dress,” she said with the confidence of someone who just showed up to a black-tie event in a disco ball. (Honestly, the comparison works—both involve making certain corners of the internet very, very uncomfortable.)

But JoJo’s not here to please the haters. No, sir. “One thing about me,” she declared, “is that I’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 don’t take fashion risks, are you even living?”

Exploring the Risk Zone: JoJo’s New Motto

JoJo made it clear that she’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 end—with a rhinestone codpiece, no less? Love it or hate it, JoJo’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 didn’t earn. The risk zone is waiting.
