In the ever-evolving world of pop music, style is just as crucial as sound. Today’s pop princesses are not just chart-topping artists; they’re fashion icons whose looks inspire millions. The best thing about today’s It-girls of pop is that each brings something unique to the fashion table, reflecting their music, personality, and the cultural zeitgeist.
Whether you’re drawn to Sabrina Carpenter’s modern fairytale chic, Billie Eilish’s anti-pop star aesthetic, or Olivia Rodrigo’s rebellious vibe, there’s a style to inspire every fashion-forward fan. Here’s how to get their looks…
Sabrina Carpenter
The first thing I think of when I picture Sabrina Carpenter’s style is mini skirts. Sabrina has yet to meet a mini skirt or dress she didn’t love. The mini hemline features in almost all of her performance looks and music videos as well as her street style. So, if you want to recreate her signature look, this is a great place to start.
Sabrina’s outfits are the epitome of girly chic and she often embraces feminine cuts, playful prints, and pastel tones. Not to mention a staple pair of platform heels that Sabrina is rarely seen without.
How to Get the Look:
• Opt for dresses with a fit-and-flare shape, lace details, or floral prints.
• Platform heels are a must
• The shorter the hemline, the better
Olivia Rodrigo
Olivia Rodrigo’s style is a modern take on 90s grunge with a touch of Y2K nostalgia. Her look is the perfect blend of rebellious and relatable, often featuring plaid skirts, graphic tees, and chunky boots. Her style colour palette largely consists of black, white, red, and of course purple to stick to her GUTS theme.
How to Get the Look:
• Mix and match plaid skirts with oversized band tees or crop tops.
• Pair distressed denim with chunky boots or platform sneakers.
• Accessorize with chokers, layered necklaces, and small shoulder bags.
Dua Lipa
Dua Lipa has had one of the greatest style glow-ups in pop history. From oversized basketball jerseys to couture, her style may have evolved but what has remained the same is Dua’s affinity for colour and willingness to play with prints. Having signed deals with Yves Saint Laurent and Versace, not to mention a collaboration with Donatella herself for La Vacanza – Dua is well on her way to fashion icon status.
Dua’s fashion choices are often a nod to both the 80s and 90s, with a modern twist that keeps her ahead of the trend curve. If Dua’s wearing it, it’s probably cool.
How to Get the Look:
• Embrace exposed abs at every acceptable moment
• Mix and match prints, textures and fabrics
• Invest in quality basics for top-notch street-style
Billie Eilish
When it comes to fashion, Billie is the anti-pop star – and that is one of the many reasons why we love her. She has redefined pop star fashion with her signature oversized, androgynous style. Favouring baggy silhouettes, bold logos, and a mix of streetwear and high fashion. Billie’s style is all about comfort and making a statement, often with dark, moody colours or neon accents. Her look is a rejection of traditional pop star glam, embracing an authentic, anti-conformist vibe.
How to Get the Look:
• Choose oversized hoodies, baggy pants, and loose-fitting T-shirts.
• Look for pieces with bold logos, graphic prints, or striking patterns.
• Accessorise with chunky sneakers, beanies, and layered chains.
Chappell Roan
Always one to go the extra mile when it comes to fashion, Chappell Roan’s style is bold, eclectic, and unapologetically expressive. Known for her vibrant and sometimes avant-garde fashion choices, Chappell mixes bright colours, daring patterns, and unique silhouettes.
It’s known that Chappell is often inspired by drag performers and the LGBTQ+ culture when it comes to styling for a live performance. For her Governors Ball music festival performance, Chappell dressed as Lady Liberty to pay tribute to Divine and Lady Miss Kier. This source of inspiration is what sets her apart from a lot of the pop looks of this past decade.
How to Get the Look:
• Embrace the camp and don’t be afraid to have fun with fashion
• Experiment with bold patterns and bright, contrasting colours.
• Opt for bold makeup choices, like vibrant eyeshadows or a dramatic lip.
