If GTA 6 is set in a version of Miami, it was always going to need Trina. When Rockstar revealed the game's first six radio stations on 8 October, she was on Dirty South Classics, a station of Southern rap classics, co-hosting with Trick Daddy (who plays a character called Trick). Their old Miami morning radio show is effectively back, inside a video game. GTA 6 is out on 19 November.
Her style has always been the opposite of quiet. She dresses in one strong colour at a time, adds more gold than anyone else in the room, and has never once looked like she was trying to blend in. Here are three real outfits, plus a few looks that were reported but that we couldn't get photos of, and how to wear the same energy without the stylist.
Her palette
One loud colour per outfit, and gold with everything.

The green playsuit
Photographed at a Bleu magazine signing, with high-rises and palm trees behind her, this is peak late-2000s Trina. An emerald playsuit with ruffled straps and a drawstring waist, a long gold chain, gold hoops big enough to put your hand through, a stack of bangles and a sharp bob with a heavy fringe. The colour does the work. One bright green piece and a lot of gold is the whole formula, and it still works now.

Looks we couldn't get photos of
A few more worth knowing about, from reports rather than photos we could use. At the 2022 BET Hip Hop Awards, where she collected the I Am Hip Hop award, BET reported that she walked the red carpet in a 1991 vintage Dolce & Gabbana look, then changed into a sparkly diamanté outfit to accept it. Earlier that year, KISS Richmond picked up a lime-green Mugler bodysuit and leggings she posted on Instagram. And performing at the 2023 BET Awards, according to The Shade Room, she wore a shimmering red V-neck bodysuit with red gloves and leather-look boots. Same rule every time: one colour, worn all over.
How to borrow her style
Wear one colour all over
Green, gold, pink-into-purple, red. She picks one and commits, which is why the outfits read from across a room.
Add more gold than feels sensible
Hoops, chains and bangles together. On her it never looks like too much, because the clothes stay simple.
Keep the cut simple
A playsuit, a corset top, a loose jumpsuit. The colour is loud, so the shape doesn't need to be.
Make the hair part of the outfit
A blunt bob in 2009, waist-length and straight in 2024. Whatever the style, it's glossy and deliberate.
Dirty South Classics goes live with GTA 6 on 19 November. Prices and stock move fast before Christmas, so check sizes before you get attached.
