Kesha’s latest red carpet look is trashy in the best way possible.
The "TiK ToK" singer, 37, rocked a revised version of one of her early career looks — her 2010 MTV VMAs trash bag dress — at GLAMOUR Germany’s Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday, Nov. 12, and stopped mid-carpet for a spiky shoe change.
Kesha hit the red carpet at the Fotografiska Berlin event — where she was dubbed the 2024 Music Icon — in a black two-piece set that appeared to be made of garbage bags, evoking her iconic award show look from over a decade ago.
Rather than a trash bag-inspired mini dress, Kesha’s updated look included a strapless, backless top with a scalloped hem, plus a matching maxi skirt with ultra-high slits and a long train. Steve Granitz/Getty Kesha at the 2010 MTV Awards
At first, she paired the head-turning set with pointy black heels — one of which had a phone mounted on a miniature tripod attachment — and later swapped them for a slightly edgier pair.
The “Die Young” singer stopped posing midway through the carpet to, with the help of two people, change into a pair of strappy sandal heels, also black, that featured large spike details.
Unlike her 2010 trash-inspired look — which featured her hair in a very high and long pouf ponytail-braid hybrid style — she sported a simple hairstyle, her shoulder-length, blonde tresses falling in a sleek middle part.
Speaking about the unconventional and full-circle ‘fit at the GLAMOUR Germany event — where she was celebrated alongside fellow 2024 honorees Ashley Park, Valentina Sampaio and journalist Düzen Tekkal — Kesha said that it was the product of examining her career to determine how she “became so iconic” over the years.
"I am iconic. This is iconic. And I’ve looked at how I became so iconic and it’s been through making art out of trash,” she said, per the magazine. “So I am the Iconic trash.”

Last month, the singer joined Charli xcx on stage at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum for the live debut performance of the duo’s remix of "Spring Breakers,” days after the release of the “Apple” singer’s remix album, Brat and it's completely different but also still brat.
The Oct. 15 concert cameo also included a performance of Kesha’s 2009 hit track "Tik Tok," featuring Charli’s Sweat Tour co-headliner, Troye Sivan.
That same day, Kesha released a cover of Lindsey Buckingham's "Holiday Road" for the 2024 Spotify Singles Holiday Collection. The singer’s version of the 1983 holiday hit features a vocoder effect and electro-rock production by Zhone, who also worked on her song "Joyride."
