She’s on a mission to dominate the world with her music, and it turns out Charlie XCXM is also quite the professional poser.

Working alongside photographer Ben Watts, the “So Far Away” songstress tried on looks from Carolina Herrera, House of Holland, Christian Siriano, and Moschino Cheap & Chic for her photo spread.

Charli told Seventeen that she has big plans for her music career- “I’m going to build an empire. I’m always writing for someone else. I want to be someone who has her fingerprints all over the pop charts.”

As for her definition of cool, the British stunner explained, “When you’re growing up I think there’s this idea that the coolest people are the ones who are really rude and feverish. But I’ve come to realize that isn’t cool. I think the best people are the ones who are just as nice and fun. This is really cheesy, but you only have one life – why spend most of it pretending to be cool?”

Stylistically, Charli says, “I don’t make punk music—I make pop that’s inspired by elements if punk. For me, as a person, am I punk? In the sense that I do what I want and I enjoy going against the norm, I suppose I am.”
