Nineties megastar, 58, looks unrecognisable posing in nude dress with bizarre detail
A NINETIES music star looked almost unrecognisable in a quirky eye-catching dress for a revealing photoshoot.
The songstress and actress, 58, donned a skintight fitted dress with pastel marble colouring as they captured attention on Vogue Scandinavia‘s front cover.
Bjork told how she was “so honoured” to don the long-sleeved garment – which had a risque edge courtesy of stitched human hair designed to mimic public hair on the crotch.
The high end couture merkin frock – dubbed “the year’s most iconic dress” – gave the appearance she was naked, and is from John Galliano’s spring 2024 collection for Maison Margiela.
Its description details the intimate wig section is “fashioned from real human hair painstakingly embroidered to the crotch of an underlaid silk tulle stocking bodysuit.”
The bottom half meanwhile features flowing peachy fabric which whipped around as she struck a series of poses.
Bjork, who was born in the Icelandic capital city of Reykjavik, wore her brunette hair in a poker straight style.
She finished off her look with lashings of black mascara and bright red lipstick.
Speaking of the unique attire the Sun In My Mouth singer added: “When I put on the Margiela dress, and I slipped on the prosthetic hips, it seemed such a full circle moment.
“It was such a profound thing.”
The star struck a sultry pose to the camera before switching to a completely different outfit.
Clad in a blue hooded garment, a striking waved metallic mask could be seen placed in front of her face.

Bjork grew up in a highly musical household – releasing her first album at the age of 11.
She was first known as a member of alt-rock group the Sugarcubes, alongside guitarist Thór Eldon – who fathered Bjork’s son and was briefly married to the star.
She then went on to forge a successful solo singing career, as well as racking up a number of big screen appearances as an actress.
Her first solo album, titled Debut, featured two Top 20 singles, Human Behaviour and Big Time Sensuality.
Among her most commercially successful hits are It’s Oh So Quiet, Army of Me and Hyperballad, which all reached the UK Chart top 10.
In 2013, the Icelandic icon won the best recording package Grammy Award for Biophilia, the album featuring hits like Moon, Dark Matter and Hollow.
