Kesha Denies Attending Paris Fashion Week: “Not Me”
She awoke in Paris feeling like a fashion icon — or at least that’s how fans perceived her.
Kesha, 38, clarified the situation after a stunning blonde look-alike was spotted arriving at the Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2026 show in a daring sky-blue gown that showcased her side, going braless and commando for the Fashion Week event on Wednesday, October 1.
“Not me but. Work,” the “Blah Blah Blah” star captioned her TikTok response to various articles claiming she had attended the event.
The woman with flowing platinum mermaid waves — later identified as Second Street Iron & Metal Co. CEO and influencer Kinga Strogoff — was nearly a spitting image of the singer and even reflected Kesha’s signature aesthetic: bold, fierce, and attention-grabbing.
Kesha accompanied her clarification video with a viral soundbite: “I hate to say it. I hope I don’t sound ridiculous. I don’t know who this man is. He could be walking down the street and I wouldn’t recognize him. Sorry to this —.”
Before she addressed the rumors, numerous reports circulated about “Kesha” captivating the audience in a daring outfit, showcasing a structured crew neckline and a single, dramatic long sleeve that flowed elegantly at the wrist.
On one side, the striking dress revealed a completely exposed silhouette due to its asymmetric design from collarbone to ankle. Strogoff complemented the Grecian goddess-inspired look with gray pointed stilettos, a silver bracelet, and a matching clutch.
While Strogoff hasn’t commented on the viral mix-up, she did take to Instagram Stories to share several photos of her chic outfit.
“The dress! It doesn’t move. An incredible design,” she praised in one of her posts, tagging French fashion designer Haider Ackermann and stylist Cal Campos.
@kesha Not me but. Work.
Fans are, of course, enjoying the confusion.
“Love the free publicity! Haha,” one fan commented on Kesha’s TikTok. “Oh Kesha, you’ll always be ICONic,” another added, while a third said, “CACKLING.” A fourth remarked, “She’s slaying, but can we mention Kesha’s actual fashion era right now???”
Kesha has previously discussed her journey as a music artist, sharing that she fully embraces each era as it unfolds. Reflecting on the 2010s, she acknowledged her desire to provide what fans were looking for.
“My fans came to me for joy, and I didn’t want to let them down,” she told SELF Magazine in 2023. “I was really focused on having fun and inviting people to join in. I strive to create a safe space [at my shows] for everyone to be themselves.”
“There are still moments when I want to throw on wild makeup, wear a wig, don some heels, and put on a cape. It’s fun,” she laughed. “That’s the reason I started doing this! I didn’t think it would become such a defining part of who I am.”
