Olivia Rodrigo Gave Her Lace Minidress a Cool Dark-Academia Twist

Olivia Rodrigo just nailed the lingerie-as-outerwear trend, following the lead of Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, and Rihanna. On Friday, Aug. 19, the singer was spotted in New York City, leaving a Chappell Roan concert at the Bowery Ballroom in a sultry LBD by Mirror Palais.

The silk mini features a balconette, lace-trimmed bust and takes a slight A-line shape. She gave the leg-baring design a dark-academia twist, teaming it with white crew socks and black tassel loafers. The styling choice played down the overall formality of the look, catering to her signature effortless-meets-edgy vibe. The 19-year-old forewent a necklace or earrings, but she accessorized with a few silver rings. Her wavy brown hair, red manicure, and pink lip were the finishing touches.

Rodrigo’s outfit demonstrates how to bring warm-weather pieces into cooler seasons by swapping open-toe shoes for loafers and socks. It’s a transitional hack that works not just with shirts and jeans but miniskirts and slips, too. Recently, model Hailey Bieber employed the move while touring the world with her husband, showing off an LBD moment strikingly similar to Rodrigo’s.

Rodrigo’s NYC outing comes after she wore another black number on the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards red carpet in June. She stunned in a black vintage corseted dress by Jean Paul Gaultier, designed with a crisscross halter top, satin panel along the zippered bodice, and ankle-grazing hemline. Whether she’s appearing at a high-profile event or attending a low-key concert, the star always makes sure to stick to her original style.
