Olivia Rodrigo Paired the Most Controversial Skirt Trend With This Super Classic Shoe

Olivia Rodrigo is practically the spokesperson for Gen Z, but her early aughts-inspired punk style puts most millennials (who grew up during this time) to shame. Between her gothic LBDs, Tim Burton-approved 2023 Met Gala look, and rock-and-roll minidresses, the singer has a fashion sense to match her chart-topping angsty music (her latest hit is titled “Vampire,” after all)

On Monday, the pop star — who recently announced that her sophomore album Guts is dropping this September — stuck to her usual fashion M.O. for an appearance at SiriusXM studios. Rodrigo wore a distressed black cropped sweater emblazoned with an orange graphic of a butterfly that had frayed threads hanging loose. But perhaps the most notable part of her look was the teeny-tiny black pleated miniskirt which she styled with coordinating Mary-Jane Jimmy Choo block heels with patent leather toes and a pearl button, putting the final touch on the Y2K-ified look.

Tennis skirts have had a huge resurgence in the last couple of years, but 2023 marked the birth of the teeny tiny micro skirts movement, led by stars like Rodrigo (and Hailey Bieber and Sydney Sweeney) and fashion houses like Miu Miu. But you don’t have to write smash hits or splurge on the high-fashion offerings if you’re trying to recreate the barely-there bottoms — pretty much every brand has jumped on the micro-skirt bandwagon. And after the year of the loafer, the Mary-Jane (a distant cousin of sorts) is positioned to takeover the runways and shelves this fall and winter. The best part? The shoe is insanely versatile and built for everyday wear — whether you choose a heel like Olivia or opt for a flat iteration to fall in line with the industry’s balletcore craze.
