While Olivia Rodrigo's highly anticipated "Guts" World Tour isn't set to kick off until February of next year, fans of the pop-rock princess are already prepping for the spectacle by doing what they do best — religiously memorizing lyrics (or just scream-singing "get him back!" in the car), filming TikTok videos of their battle to actually nab a pair of tickets, and, of course, brainstorming outfit ideas for what's bound to be one of the most high-energy, Y2K-centric concerts this decade.
ICYMI: Rodrigo released her second studio album "Guts" [1] earlier this fall, which served as a follow-up to her critically acclaimed first record, "Sour." The album played into many of the same pop-rock sensibilities that made the musician's debut such a hit, with punk instrumentals and melodies inspired by bands like Paramore, teamed with the same thoughtful, heart-wrenching lyricism which mirrors artists like Taylor Swift [2]. Rodrigo has managed to build an entire brand her unique sound, even further elevating her image through her personal style choices [3] — most of which pays homage to the fashion trends of the early aughts [4] via cropped graphic tees, platform Mary Janes, pleated mini skirts, and the occasional mesh piece or two.
Whether you've already got your hands on a pair of tickets to Rodrigo's upcoming "Guts" World Tour or you're simply trying to infuse more of the pop princess's edgy style into your own wardrobe, we went ahead and curated a guide filled with the best concert outfit ideas — all inspired by Rodrigo herself. From plaid mini dresses that feel like they're straight out of the "Clueless" wardrobe and baggy cargo pants [5] to colourful candy necklaces and denim handbags that just scream '90s, these concert outfit ideas will give you deja vu of the musician's past outfits — and get you seriously excited for her upcoming tour in the process. Keep reading to shop our picks for the best Olivia Rodrigo concert outfits that you can wear to show and well after her concert's over, too.
Platform Mary Jane Heels
Forever 21 Mary Jane Platform Block Heels [7] ($24, originally $40)
Rodrigo has made her love for Mary Janes and platform loafers well known over the years, often styling the shoe with a pair of waffle ankle socks to match. These chunky shoes will make the perfect addition to any outfit and even give you a little extra height to see over the person in front of you at the concert.
A Pleated Mini Skirt
Sangtree Pleated Mini Skirt [8] ($31)
Purple has been the colour of choice for Rodrigo's past two albums, so it only feels right that you channel the same colour scheme at her upcoming world tour. We love the preppy vibes emulating from this pleated mini skirt — pair it with a cropped tee and combat boots for a truly statement-making look.
A Candy Shop-Inspired Necklace
Frasier Sterling Custom Candy Shop Necklace [9] ($66)
While "Sour" might have been the name of Rodrigo's debut record, there were still plenty of sweet vibes tied into the ballads of the album — not to mention that the musician famously had candy stuck to her tongue in the album cover. This necklace is a step up from the traditional candy shop necklace but with a similar aesthetic that feels so on theme with Rodrigo's teenage-driven tunes.
A Feather-Trim Cardigan
Forever 21 Feather-Trim Cardigan Sweater [10] ($20, originally $25)
This feather-trim cardigan just screams '90s with its lime green colouring, sheer composition, and darling cropped fit. You can elevate the look even more with a pair of platform boots and a leggy leather skirt to match.
A '90s-Inspired Beret Cap
Revolve Brixton Fiddler Cap [11] ($49)
If you're looking for a daring accessory that'll help to pull your entire concert outfit together, look no further than this nostalgic beret cap.
Metallic Jogger Pants
Siaeamrg Shiny Metallic High Waist Jogger Pants [12] ($20)
While Rodrigo tends to lean into moodier colour palettes with darker tones like black, deep purple, and even red, she has been known to rock a metallic pant on occasion — and this high-waisted style is one of our personal favourites. We'd style this with a graphic tee and chunky loafers for the ultimate punk look.
A Printed Mini Dress
Urban Outfitters Lily Printed Mini Dress [13] ($59)
We'll never forget when Rodrigo made that special trip to the White House while wearing a pink, black, and white Chanel tweed set that absolutely nailed the prep aesthetic. That particular pairing might be out of our budget, but we'll gladly settle for this similar printed style in the meantime.
A Y2K-Centric Crossbody Bag
Freeloop Crossbody Bag [14] ($42, originally $53)
Is there anything more '90s than a good denim accessory? We'd argue no, especially with this playful purse which boasts a cool braided design on the strap, and comes with a cheeky, heart-shaped charm to match.
Original Tour Merchandise
Olivia Rodrigo Album "Guts" Shirt [15] ($15, originally $21)
Skip the merchandise line at the actual show and opt for this stylish graphic tee instead. The T-shirt features Rodrigo's iconic "Guts" album visuals across the front, along with the name of the actual tour.
A Mesh Bodysuit
Abercrombie Long-Sleeve Mesh Crew Bodysuit [16] ($60)
The more mesh, the merrier — especially when it comes to emulating Olivia Rodrigo [17]'s style. The multihyphenate never shies away from a cool cutout or sheer design, and this bodysuit would look especially darling underneath a mini skirt or pair of cargo shorts.
Baggy Cargo Pants
Free People Tahiti Cargo Pants [18] ($138)
Love 'em or hate 'em, cargo pants have made their return to mainstream fashion — and as far as we can tell, Rodrigo is completely on board with the resurgence of the pant. Whether you're styling these khaki cargo pants with a cropped T-shirt or bodysuit, they're bound to go with everything in your closet.
A Studded Belt
Snceaw Studded Belt [19] ($15)
Cap off your punk-rock look with the one accessory that's bound to make a statement at the actual show: a studded belt, of course. We love the look of this piece because it feels exactly like what a true rockstar would wear, but with a much more feasible price tag.
