Gen-Z superstar Olivia Rodrigo has a knack for making Noughties trends look both contemporary and cool. Case in point: at the weekend the “Good 4 U” musician gave her Instagram followers a masterclass in Y2K style, with an added smattering of pastel hair clips and pigtails, for optimum Noughties effect.
The ’70s-inspired coat Rodrigo was modelling, a seriously popular silhouette among the TikTok and Depop generation, was a transeasonal Blumarine shearling-trim gem. The singer was evidently inspired by Almost Famous (2000) protagonist Penny Lane’s (Kate Hudson) playful aesthetic, and much like the character, opted to style her jacket with kitsch accessories. Who needs to see the bottom half of your outfit when you’re sporting such delicious outerwear? Rodrigo let her zingy jacket do all the talking – sour (pun intended) expression sold separately.
At this point, the 19-year-old’s vast wardrobe is brimming with ’90s staples. When she’s not hitting the stage in a punkish tartan Vivienne Westwood corset, then she’s posting on Instagram in her favourite buckled vertiginous platform boots from Marc Jacobs, or wearing a butterfly motif halter top from Depop.
