We know the Little Mix girls aren’t afraid of a costume, and we also know that Jade Thirlwall in particular is a big fan of dressing up. In 2020 she did Whitney Houston’s Queen of the Night look, complete with metal breastplate and chain skirt. But her latest recreation of Lil’ Kim’s 1999 VMAs look might be her most iconic look yet.

The look was for her 30th birthday bash the other day, and now she's treating us to more BTS content from the night with a TikTok of herself going from regular Jade to Lil’ Kim. The clip shoes her swapping her trademark brunette ringlets for a poker straight lilac hair, in what might be the best transformation (and TikTok transition) of 2022.

Starting with a no make-up look and her naturally voluminous curls (and looking gorgeous already in her casual T), she transitions into a flashy silk catsuit with mammoth lashes, shimmery lips and, of course, one boob out.

Jade has just posted a new BTS clip of the brunette to purple hair transformation

Fans have gone wild for the transition. “This is iconic, you look absolutely stunnnning”, says one. Another goes for, “You literally slay every colour.. how do u feel??”.

“Like I slay ever colour”, hits back the singer with all the sass that we love about her.

If you want to try your own take on dressing up in a Little Mix Lil’ Kim tribute, we’ve got some tips to help you along.

When it comes to the lashes, there’s no time for anything that is not seriously dramatic, so for that we’d recommend heading over to Huda Lashes for their Noelle No14 Faux Mink Lashes. Normally they are £18 but they’ve currently got 50% off, so you can get them for just £9 here. Don’t forget to mascara the lower lashes as well, this is a 360º look.

On the lips go for something with really frosty shimmer like MAC Frost Lipstick in Plum Dandy, £20 here . Use a darker liner around the edge (so Nineties) – try Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Liner in Gone Greige or Midnight Plum, both £3.99 here (depending how dark your lip line is naturally). Line just outside your lip to get the full effect.

Meanwhile, possibly the best wig copy we’ve found is this one with all the length you need from Pretty Little Thing, £25 here. It’s pink, rather than purple – sadly their lilac version is sold out.
