Saturday Style: Gentle Monster X Bratz

Let’s Talk About This Wild Gentle Monster x Bratz Drop

Gentle Monster has done it again—and this time, they’ve sent the internet into a nostalgic Y2K spiral. Their latest collaboration? None other than Bratz—yes, the iconic doll line that basically raised an entire generation on bold fashion, chunky shoes, and unapologetic attitude.

The highlight of this dreamy team-up is the Pocket Collection: foldable eyewear that tucks neatly into a compact case you can hang like a keychain. We’re talking sunglasses meets statement accessory—just clip it onto your bag and go. It’s function meets flex, and honestly, it’s giving rich doll energy.

The PR Box? Insane. Iconic. I’m Shaking.

Now let’s talk about that PR box. Gentle Monster said: “Let’s not be subtle.” And I love that.

The PR kit includes:

A full-sized Bratz doll (yes, an actual collectible doll!)

A miniature version of the sunglasses your grown-up self is getting

That foldable eyewear, in a design that could absolutely be worn on the Bratz runway

It’s high fashion meets high nostalgia. I don’t know who’s running Gentle Monster’s collab team, but give them a raise. Or at the very least, give me their number so I can beg for a PR kit.

This Isn’t Their First Slay

Gentle Monster has built a reputation for delivering iconic, boundary-pushing collaborations. The Mugler collab had me in a cyberpunk chokehold—those architectural frames? Unapologetically extra. And the Tekken 8 drop? Gamer-core meets runway realness. It was fashion that looked like it came from another planet—and I mean that in the best way.

What I love about Gentle Monster is how they’re never afraid to look a little out of this world. Fashion is meant to be expressive, dramatic, and even a bit absurd. They always get that.

Do I Own One? Sadly, No. Am I Manifesting? Absolutely.

Let me be honest: I don’t own a single piece from any of these collections. They usually sell out in seconds, and unless you’re a celeb or an influencer with PR priority, chances are slim. But a girl can dream. A girl will dream.

Oh, to be someone who just wakes up and finds a Bratz doll with matching foldable shades waiting on their doorstep. Imagine clipping that tiny bag-sized eyewear on your tote like it's NBD. Meanwhile, I’m refreshing the website like it's the Hunger Games.

Final Thoughts: Fashion Can Be Fun, Too

The Gentle Monster x Bratz collab is a perfect reminder that fashion doesn’t always have to be serious. Sometimes, it can be playful, nostalgic, and just downright cute. And if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one of those foldable keychain sunnies—just know I’m cheering you on (while crying a little on the inside).

Until then, I’ll be over here, manifesting my first Gentle Monster collab pickup and dreaming about the day I get a PR box complete with a Bratz doll and my own little piece of fashion fantasy.
