The Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll would be proud.

During her performance of “Gorgeous” at Vogue World: Hollywood in LA Sunday night, Doja Cat paid tribute to Tina Turner in a bold-shouldered chainmail dress and teased-to-the-heavens platinum blond wig inspired by the late music icon’s look from the 1985 film “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.”

Crafted by costume designer Michael Schmidt, who collaborated with Turner on a number of her looks over the years, Doja’s outfit was covered in layers of gleaming silver rings — as were her matching Christian Louboutin heels.

As the ruthless villain Aunt Entity in George Miller’s post-apocalyptic flick, Turner wore a 70-pound costume designed by Norma Moriceau that incorporated coat hangers, dog muzzles, chicken wire and other found objects along with metal mesh.

Turner, who died in 2024 at age 83, recorded two songs for the film: “We Don’t Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)” and “One of the Living,” the latter of which won her a Grammy.

The latest iteration of Vogue World — which follows events in Paris and New York — celebrated the relationship between film and fashion, with a focus on the most stylish characters captured on celluloid.

Doja was far from the only superstar on the runway; Gracie Abrams also performed during the event, while Nicole Kidman opened the show in a Chanel gown inspired by Rita Hayworth’s from “Gilda.” Julia Garner, Angela Bassett and Hunter Schafer also graced the catwalk in film-inspired fashions.

Staged on the Paramount Pictures Studios Lot, Vogue World: Hollywood featured the work of top Tinseltown costume designers, including Colleen Atwood (“Edward Scissorhands”), Ruth E. Carter (“Black Panther”), Milena Canonero (“Marie Antoinette”), Arianne Phillips (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”) and more.

100% of ticket proceeds from the event will support the Entertainment Community Fund, with a focus on supporting costume professionals impacted by the LA wildfires.
