Olivia Rodrigo’s new album ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl so in Love’ has been released, marking a new era in her music and style. The 13-track record chronicles the lifespan of a relationship, from the exuberance of initial infatuation to the whiplash of begging for affection from a partner that was once so easily enamored.
Music and Fashion
Rodrigo’s music and fashion are closely intertwined. Her new style is softer and more grown-up, with outfits drawing from fashion references as diverse as her musical taste. She has worn a mix of shift dresses reminiscent of ’60s mod, ballet flats from the ’70s-founded shoe brand Repetto, Y2K-style jeans paired with peep-toe heels, and modern riffs on the twee aesthetic.
Rodrigo’s recent wardrobe contributes to the album’s worldbuilding, but her new style hasn’t been formed in a vacuum. She knows how young people are dressing right now, and her style reflects that. Depop searches for babydoll dresses have increased by 144%, Y2K low-rise jeans by 102%, and peep-toe heels by 108% in the last three months alone.
