As for how her personality has been ingested by \u201cthe casual viewer\u201d in recent years, the singer said, \u201cThey probably think I\u2019m a girl who parties and does drugs and is a little bit bitchy.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Recent tabloid rumors have proven that Charli isn\u2019t wrong about how she\u2019s perceived.

(Charli declined to comment on the speculation.) <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And while a party girl persona might bother some, Charli doesn\u2019t seem all that concerned. When asked about her brat era coming to an end, she said, \u201cI don\u2019t really get to decide when it\u2019s over or not.\u201d At the end of the day, the culture, the media, the fans\u2014they\u2019ll decide for her. \u201cI think that\u2019s up to the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"budapest, hungary august 06: charli xcx performs onstage during day 1 of sziget festival on august 06, 2025 in budapest.

But I think there is a correlation in that there\u2019s a messiness and a lack of perfection. It\u2019s the combination of talking about those things whilst also embracing them and really struggling with them is what makes me whole. And I think that makes me honest.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2 min read Charli xcx is on the cover of Vanity Fair&#8217;s November 2025 issue.
