The delicate approach

Since this performance, the Web has been literally obsessed with Angèle. Her feline, graceful and delicate gait has fascinated the public. On TikTok, Internet users try to reproduce these small steps marked by lightness, imitating the way she moves. This viral phenomenon has taken on such proportions that Angèle herself has reshared the funniest videos of her fans on her Instagram account.

Catwoman 2.0 Outfit

Fashion-wise, it's all the rage. The tight black jumpsuit by Coperni d'Angèle did not fail to attract attention. Reminiscent of a modern Catwoman, this daring garment created a real craze. Similar models were snapped up in record time.

The (very) short haircut

Finally, the Belgian singer's haircut, a short bob with perfectly adjusted bangs, has also been copied. This hairstyle, which has become iconic, has pushed many Internet users to consider cutting it all off, abandoning their plans for long hair to look like their idol. However, if this look seems attractive on the singer, the result might not be guaranteed for everyone, leaving some hesitant before taking the plunge.
