Lorde [1] has released her new album Solar Power [2], and while it's a different vibe than some fans might have been expecting, it's also really refreshing. Sort of like her wardrobe, which has been reset to a sunshine yellow colour palette ever since her first music video from the album [3] came out. While she chose a Collina Strada two-piece [4] for that production, Lorde [5] showed up to Good Morning America's Summer Concert Series in a made-you-look-twice cutout midi shirtdress with ruching from Christopher Esber.
No, it's not a co-ord set as it may at first appear, but all one piece, finished with long strings that allow you to adjust the bodice and skirt to the right height. The designer number is made from crepe fabric and complete with button cuffs, retailing for over $1K. Being that its beautiful shade is so irresistible, we knew we had to shop out similar dresses at a wide range of price points, so you can get in on the Lorde look, too. Ahead, see how she styled her outfit with thick gold hoops, a couple of delicately layered chainlink necklaces, and orange-tinted frames (which she put on to belt out her tunes), then browse through our inspired picks.
