On September 25, Olivia Rodrigo launched her Unraveled Tour with standout ensembles that mirrored the tour’s theme. The meltaway dress stole attention during her performance in Hartford, Connecticut, while the rest of her styling was equally captivating.
Below, we dive into how Rodrigo and her team are visually celebrating her latest album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, with theatrical costume changes and distinct styling elements.
The Melt-Away Dress
One of the biggest fashion highlights from the first night came during “The Cure,” where Rodrigo sported a custom Hussein Chalayan white dress that dissolved mid-performance under the rain effect, unveiling a vibrant red minidress underneath. Her stylists, sisters Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo, credited the designer on Instagram.
Chalayan is renowned for integrating technology into fashion, presenting water-soluble designs at Paris Fashion Week in 2015.
This costume change became one of the tour’s most memorable moments, showcasing Rodrigo’s stylish Wolford tights, which added a polished touch to the dramatic outfit.
She completed the look with Dr. Martens leather knee-high boots, merging feminine elegance with her signature edgy style.
The Babydoll Dress
Rodrigo, known for her coquette-meets-punk aesthetic, wore a custom white babydoll dress during her rendition of “Drop Dead.” The chic piece was a version of Dilara Findikoglu’s The Girl in a Room Dress.
In April, she mentioned that her style inspiration included “babydoll dresses and ’70s necklines,” aiming for a fun and laid-back vibe.
A Splash of Pink
In a playful twist, she paired a graphic T-shirt with hot-pink shorts, reminiscent of her previous tour outfits. The outfit was completed with “orchid” pink checkerboard Vans.
The Classic Look
During her performance of “Deja Vu,” Rodrigo donned a fitted white ribbed tank with relaxed blue jeans, serving as a chic break from the more dramatic costumes.
The Romantic Punk
For moodier performances of “Traitor” and “Cigarette Smoke,” Rodrigo switched into a black leather mini dress complemented by a matching choker. This look contrasted well with the softer aesthetics of the tour while still conveying her rebellious spirit.
Through her Unraveled Tour, Olivia Rodrigo not only showcases her musical talent but also sets a bold fashion standard, inviting fans to explore and recreate her standout looks.
