Pop sensation Charli XCX set pulses racing on Friday with a series of captivating Instagram snaps, posing confidently in the snow while dressed in a bold black leather ensemble. The 33-year-old singer, known for her hit album 'Brat', showcased her incredible figure in black leather shorts, complemented by a stylish black bomber jacket and knee-high heeled boots.
Promoting Her New Movie 'The Moment'
Alongside the frosty photoshoot, Charli teased further promotion for her upcoming movie, 'The Moment', which is scheduled for release in select New York and Los Angeles theatres on January 30. She accessorised her look with black-tinted sunglasses and penned an enthusiastic caption: 'more tickets for the moment on sale now !!!!!!!!!'.
Currently in Utah to promote the film, Charli attended The Moment premiere during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival at the Eccles Centre Theatre later that day. For this formal outing, she opted for a sophisticated black two-piece suit, paired with a grey and white striped shirt, black stilettos, a black and white tie, and a grey faux fur coat.
Inside Look at the Music Industry
The feature film offers an intimate glimpse into the inner workings of the music industry, following the life of a pop star in the lead-up to her first headline arena tour. Through scripted scenes, it explores how subculture is mutated by commercial success, with record executives contemplating how they can make it a 'brat summer forever'.
In the trailer, released in December, Charli pokes fun at the 'brat summer' phenomenon, starring as a fictionalised version of herself. The dictionary has redefined 'brat' as being 'characterised by a confident, independent, and hedonistic attitude', rapidly becoming the aesthetic movement of the summer.
Additional Fashion Moments and Film Insights
Earlier in the day, Charli XCX looked incredible in a white fur coat, which she paired with a sheer white lace skirt and unique leather boots. She also showcased a more relaxed style, wearing a blue and red puffer coat, flared jeans, and brown Ugg boots.
The trailer combines concert footage with scripted satire scenes, featuring Hollywood stars Alexander Skarsgård and Rachel Sennott. In the opening scene, Charli questions: 'Don’t you just think the whole, like, "keep having a Brat Summer!" thing is a bit cringe?' The musician is seen struggling with fame, adding: 'Everyone’s so desperate for me to be f***ing innovative all the time - and f***ing cool!' Jenner then explains: 'The second people are getting sick of you, that's when you need to go even harder.'
