i-D Meets: PinkPantheress

i-D Meets PinkPantheress, the "Boy's a Liar" singer making internet-breaking pop music that transcends its TikTok origins.

Emulating the escape rooms she loves so much, we gave the i-D cover star a series of clues to unlock questions about emo fashion, a long-burning Subway addiction, her K-pop obsessions and bringing Skrillex to the Canterbury cricket ground she used to work at.

@ponies721 then joins digital creator @aliyahsinterlude in an East London vintage shop to give her a makeover, dressing her up in signature Y2K PinkPantheress style: slouchy boots, Jean Paul-Gaultier and all.

i don't think i've ever seen this much personality from pinkpantheress in her interviews. okayyyy i-d, i see you

[Silly]

She’s way more extroverted than I thought she was! She’s got a fun personality c:

[ediname]

"I'm lazy so I wasn't trying to make an album at all" she's so real omg LOVE HER

[aaron]

been supporting her since the pain era, , , so proud of how far shes come

[anemonesiac]

Woah didnt expect her voice to sound so rich with the baby voice she sings in!

[dakotac]

She seems so much more comfortable, maybe because she's home but nice interview. She really kick started this y2k, powerpuff girl, sad girl pop. It makes sense that she likes K-pop. Doing a spooky powerpuff girl sounding soundtrack would be interesting for sure.

[Thegrreench]

I know it sounds like cliche and maybe kinda corny but pink pantheress is one of the most down to earth relatable artists today, and I say that with FULL confidence. I love her music and everything about her style, I hope she continues staying true to herself and releasing amazing music💕💕💕

[ced]

The way she started listing off SM Entertainment groups lol. We love a queen with taste!

[ghkdwls]

I hope she does soundtrack a horror film in the future! That would be iconic

[austinsontv]

I love how down to earth and personable she is! Easily one of my top "I'd take a bullet for this person" celebs in my book!

[blumachine]

3:45 im crying at how she forgot to mention nct 😂 she's literally the cutest and funniest <33

[abeoclingman]

I'm glad she feeling more confident in her self; can't what for the album.

[nya]

i love the way this is shot. i love the way this is edited. i love pinkpantheress. i love the length of this video. i love the concept. it’s like the type of content alt media used to produce mid/late 2000s. this is so genuine and cool

[mellyr]

She’s literally the best person in the world and I’m not even exaggerating

[Bibi-tydn]

i looove her personality and this is a great and creative interviewing job from the team at i-D!! loved watching this

[solielgainz]

I can’t wait for her album out November 10th!

[darii]

AALIYAHS INTERLUDE X PINKPANTHERESS IS PERFECT ❤❤❤

[Avi.joyyy]

My girl is really Pink Blooded🩷 Most of her favs from SM👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[mistahdelle]

pinkpantheress is truly the people’s princess. In both her personality and music she reflects the same energy of so many 18-25 year olds today making her super relatable and refreshing. IKDR!!!

[squarekirby]

The fact that she released an album at the same time as red velvet gives me life 😊
