Zara Larsson, the world’s current favourite IT girl, has been dubbed the queen of beachy style, making her the perfect reference point for summer outfit inspiration. Especially if you are leaning towards the vibrant, dopamine dressing that Zara is famous for.
In a short time, Zara and her team, including stylist Caterina Ospina and MUA Sophia Sinot, have created an instantly recognisable pop-star aesthetic. She blends nostalgic Y2K maximalism references with bold colours and playful touches. Her style is a glamorous fantasy we all want to live in, and the good news is that this summer, you absolutely can.
Below, I have highlighted key elements of Zara Larsson’s style as well as ready-to-shop pieces to help you achieve her look this summer. These ideas also work really well for a guide on what to wear to a Zara Larsson concert if you happen to be attending her current Midnight Sun Tour.
Colour, Colour, and More Colour
Zara has never met a vibrant colour she didn’t like. Pinks, purples, blues, and yellows in particular seem to be her go-to colour palette and are often worn all at the same time. It is a huge part of what makes her style so perfect for summer dressing when we all crave a bit of fun in our wardrobes.
Floral Motifs
The hibiscus flower has become a Zara signature ever since her custom VMA look in 2025. Since then, Zara often wears the motif as a hair clip or on a printed tee.
Sparkle and Texture
Rhinestones and sparkles are staple items in the Zara Larsson aesthetic – whether embellished on clothing or as part of her makeup routine. It is glamorous and nostalgic, but more importantly, fun, which is what summer style should all be about. While there are plenty of rhinestone embellished designs on the market, you could take the DIY approach and rhinestone your own garments for a more personalised look. The inclusion of ruffles and drapey fabric in Zara’s style adds further interest.

Y2K Pop
Zara is heavily influenced by early 2000s trends, especially micro-mini skirts, low-rise waists, halter tops, and printed tees. If you grew up in the 2000s, you’ll be all too familiar with the dolphin aesthetic that had us in a chokehold – well, Zara is still in that chokehold – even including her now iconic Symphony dolphin meme in her Midnight Sun music video.
Beach Barbie
If you’re hitting the beach this summer, take inspiration from Zara’s beloved beachy style. A good place to start for swimwear is Main Rose – a brand Zara co-founded in 2025. Just don’t forget to add Zara’s signature colourful, sparkly aesthetic with accessories and cover-ups.
Playful Accessories
When replicating Zara Larsson’s style for summer, you should go all out with accessories. As mentioned, any Hibiscus or floral hair clips are a must. Chain belts adorned with tassels or charms are also key, as are bold, statement earrings.
