JoJo Siwa may have moved past her signature bows, but she continues to turn heads with her bold fashion choices. The former Dance Moms star made a striking appearance at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 17, where she showcased an eye-catching hairstyle and a fashion-forward look that stunned fans and the red carpet alike.
Siwa, 21, rocked a dazzling new hairstyle that featured a bejeweled headpiece. The style included a loop of hair that rose up and ended with a large, bedazzled ball hanging over her head, creating a unique, eye-catching look. The pastel sparkles of her headpiece were complemented by a matching eye mask, and Siwa paired the head-turning accessory with a bedazzled denim jacket and pants. Underneath, she wore a light pink Versace set, further adding to her sophisticated yet playful aesthetic.
In an exclusive interview with E! News‘ Francesca Amiker on the red carpet, JoJo shared how the idea for the statement headpiece came to life. “I had this vision, and I found this online,” she explained. “I told everyone on my team what I wanted, every piece to the puzzle.”
Siwa also credited her mother, Jessalyn Siwa, for bringing her vision to reality. “My mom, she made this,” JoJo said. “And she was like, ‘OK, honey, I’ll trust you, but I don’t think it’s gonna work,’ and here we are.” It was clear that the duo’s collaboration paid off, as JoJo’s ensemble was met with praise from fans and fashion critics alike.

JoJo’s decision to constantly push the boundaries of her style and reinvigorate her fashion image reflects her desire to keep her career fresh after more than a decade in the public eye. Despite her young age, Siwa has already spent 12 years in the entertainment industry, from her time on Dance Moms to her rise as a social media sensation and music star.
Reflecting on her career evolution, JoJo told E! News, “I’m in a phase where I think a lot of people would think I’m burnt out, but I feel like I’m just getting started. I feel like I’m right where I was at age 15 again, and I feel re-inspired. I’m excited for new music. I’m excited for more live performances. I’m just like, the fire’s relit.”
Siwa’s passion for her craft is evident, and she’s looking ahead to the next chapter of her career. Her latest music is a reflection of this renewed energy. JoJo revealed that she is now fully in control of her sound, something she’s been waiting for years to achieve. “I have been so excited,” she shared. “I finally, after nine years, am in sole control of my voice. And I’ve waited a long time for this one. Even this last year in 2024, I wasn’t in full control, and now I am, and it’s what I want, and it’s how I want, and it’s stuff that is actually genuine to me.”
This marks a significant moment for JoJo, who has been in the spotlight since she was a child. Her career trajectory has been filled with high points, from her music releases to her appearance on The Masked Singer, and her ability to pivot and adapt to new creative outlets. Now that she has control over her artistic direction, JoJo is excited to share new music that resonates more deeply with her personal journey.
Fans can expect JoJo’s new music to reflect her evolution as an artist and individual, but she’s also teasing something beyond music that’s set to drop on March 22. “And stay tuned. March 22, I have something that’s bigger than music to talk about,” she hinted, leaving fans eagerly anticipating what’s next in store for the star.
Siwa’s career continues to evolve as she embraces new opportunities and takes on exciting projects. Her music, fashion, and candid approach to her personal life have made her a role model for many young fans. JoJo’s ability to reinvent herself while staying true to her roots is a testament to her versatility and enduring popularity.
As Siwa continues to explore new creative avenues, her fans—who she affectionately calls her “Siwanatorz”—remain loyal and excited for every new chapter in her journey. Whether it’s through her bold fashion choices, her music, or her latest ventures, JoJo Siwa is proving that she’s far from done and is just getting started.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards featured many notable moments, and JoJo’s appearance was certainly one of them.
