Doechii says openly using face tape helps her ‘embrace imperfection', but does it?
Most people know Doechii for her impeccably timed fast-paced rhymes – they're what earned her multiple awards, including a Grammy, and the title of Billboard Woman of the Year. But the US rapper is increasingly standing out for something other than her music: visible face tape.
The Denial Is a River singer has proudly displayed the beauty hack on stage at the Grammys, while performing at festivals, and on social media. According to her stylist Sam Woolf, it's her way of exposing things that are 'meant to be hidden' – and being more vulnerable.
A growing number of celebrities and beauty influencers appear to be taking a more open and transparent approach to beauty hacks or procedures. Stars like Ariana Grande are sharing their ' button-nose tricks ' on TikTok, while others like Martha Stewart are opening up about previous beauty procedures.
So, why are more celebrities opening up about their appearance, and what could it mean for the rest of us?
Wait, what is face tape?
Face tape is precisely what it sounds like – tape applied to the face. Two small strips of tape, which are usually attached by an elasticised band, are attached to the temples to create a smooth, wrinkle-free look. In other words, it 'tightens' the face to create a more youthful appearance.
It's not uncommon for models and celebrities to wear face tape, but it's usually hidden underneath or within their hair. Doechii, on the other hand, wears it where it can be seen, even sometimes bedazzling the tape pieces.
Though the rapper has adopted it as one of her signature looks, other celebrities, including Charli XCX, have also worn visible face tape during public appearances. It has even become something of a staple on certain fashion runways, such as those of Givenchy and, most recently, Valentino.

Miley Cyrus breaks silence on Billy Ray Cyrus' romance with actress Liz Hurley, ‘I'm being an adult about it'
Miley Cyrus has finally broken her silence on her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus' shock new relationship with actress Elizabeth Hurley. In a new interview with The New York Times , the Grammy winner spoke candidly about her turbulent relationship with her dad, as well as her mum Tish Cyrus' new marriage to actor Dominic Purcell. 'Now that my mum is so in love with my stepdad, who I completely adore, and now that my dad, I see him finding happiness, too — I can love them both as individuals instead of as a parental pairing,' the former Disney star said. Cyrus' rift with the Achy Breaky Heart singer deepened after the end of his 28-year marriage to her mum Tish in 2023. Now, she says that she is handling his flourishing romance with Hurley like an 'adult'. 'At first it's hard, because the little kid in you reacts before the adult in you can go, 'Yes, that's your dad, but that's just another person that deserves to be in his bliss and to be happy.' My child self has caught up,' she said. 'I'm being an adult about it.' Cyrus confirmed she has fully reconciled with her dad, but admitted her closeness with her mum played a major role in their falling out. 'My mum really loved my dad for her whole life, and I think being married to someone in the music industry and not being a part of it is obviously really hard,' she told the outlet. 'I think I took on some of my mum's hurt as my own because it hurt her more than it hurt me as an adult, and so I owned a lot of her pain 'There's been enough bridges now of time to get us all reconnected. I think timing is everything.' Cyrus, 62, and Hurley, 59 recently sparked marriage rumours after looking very smitten in a series of photos shared on social media. The pair's relationship surprised fans, coming just months after Cyrus' highly publicised and controversial split from singer Firerose. According to reports, it was during that difficult time that the country singer reconnected with Hurley, ultimately laying the foundation for their romance.

New celebrity couple share intimate bed photo
UK reality star Chris Hughes has posted a bedtime photo with his new flame, JoJo Siwa, just over a week after the pair made their viral relationship public. The 32-year-old, famous for appearing on Season 3 of Love Island, shared the selfie on Snapchat with the caption 'Sleeepinnn beauty'. In it, Hughes can be seen kissing the pop star on the forehead as they cuddled in bed. The unlikely couple made their relationship official on Instagram in late May during the week of Siwa's 22nd birthday. 'This year's birthday week was more magical than anything,' the former Dance Moms star wrote. 'Absolutely beautiful, wouldn't change a single thing. 'A week I'll remember for the rest of my life.' Chris Hughes posted the photo on Snapchat with the caption 'Sleeepinnn beauty'. Credit: Snapchat The couple's relationship status has been the subject of widespread media coverage since they met in the Celebrity Big Brother house in April. Siwa entered the house with a partner, Australian performer Kath Ebbs (who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns), with the pair having been dating for several months. She and Hughes formed a close relationship inside the house, which quickly went from friendly to flirty in front of millions of people watching in real-time and following along on TikTok. The pair were seen massaging one another, cuddling and lying in bed together. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

Hughes consoled Siwa who became upset after receiving a letter from Ebbs saying they were 'keen' to see the pop star when she got out of the house. 'I do have beef to pick with them ... they didn't even say in the note that they love me. I will not let them live that down,' Siwa told Big Brother in the diary room. 'I will say 'where was my hi sweetheart, where was my I love you, where was my I miss you'. 'Like happy or keen to see you when I get out of here, keen to see you as well but come on bubba, give me a little something.' Since becoming official, the pair have shared many happy pictures of them together. Credit: Instagram Speaking to Hughes later, Siwa said through tears that she was 'very confused' and felt 'guilty for how happy I've been'. After the Celebrity Big Brother finale, Ebbs revealed she had flown to England to support Siwa but was instead met with news they were breaking up. 'I was told that there are confused feelings there,' Ebbs said in a now deleted TikTok video. 'I feel incredibly humiliated; I feel a bit embarrassed.' Siwa has publicly debuted several partners since coming out as a lesbian in 2021. During her time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Siwa revealed that she identified as queer. 'I've met a lot of females. Love them, don't feel like them. 'Met a lot of males — love them, definitely not them. 'Met a lot of people in my life that are non-binary, and these beautiful non-binary people are who I feel the most like and … I don't know, it's not something I want to say about myself yet, but it's something that is confusing.'
