The actual teenage girls and the teenage girls in their twenties and thirties are in their Olivia Rodrigo GUTS Tour Era right now. I sincerely hope you’re ready to get Disney Channel grunge and shriek your heart out to “driver’s license,” even though you definitely got yours… many, many years ago. After all, this isn’t just any old concert — it’s a massive cultural event, and we actually have to do some crucial prep work. I want you to close your eyes and picture yourself in 2009, either rocking out at a real Demi Lovato concert or acting out in your bedroom. That’s the exact energy we need to bring to the GUTS shows.
An Olivia concert is a sacred space for the girlies, so we must respect the dress code inspired by our queen’s signature looks. If you plan to see her on tour soon, it’s time to dig through your closet and test out some on-theme ensembles. We’re aiming for a severely angsty girl at a party, a man-hater, and a budding pop-rock superstar. As a seasoned expert on this woman (I’ve been a stan for all three years of her music career), here’s the GUTS show fashion inspo you need.
Purple, black, and red are key
If you’re a big fan, I really shouldn’t have to explain the color scheme to you. However, both of Olivia’s eras, SOUR and GUTS, are purple because she’s giving deep thinker, creative, feminine, melancholy vibes. She also introduced red for the GUTS chapter because “vampire,” blood, duh. Liv wears a lot of black to really emphasize her edgy rock side, too.
Docs or Converse are basically required
If you’re not wearing a platform shoe, what are you doing? When I walk into Madison Square Garden in April, I expect to see a taller-than-average crowd of girls. Everyone should be sporting black footwear. Anything other than Docs and Converse is frankly gonna look out of place.
Get out your fishnet tights
Whether you’re wearing a skirt, a dress, or shorts, you need fishnet tights underneath to up the try-hard rebel attitude. I don’t make the rules.
You’re gonna need to accessorize with a ribbon in your hair
Olivia Rodrigo doesn’t sing “Ooh, I care, I care, I care / Like ribbons in your hair” for no reason. And no, I haven’t yet confirmed the identity of who “lacy” is about, but my favorite theory is Gracie Abrams, a girl who adores a hair ribbon (plus Gracie, Lacy…). This hair accessory is giving girly, and it’s giving knowledgable about lyrics.
Sparkle is an Olivia stan’s best friend
The look wouldn’t be Disney-teen-punk-girlie core without some serious sparkle, preferably black and purple, obviously. I wanna spot you from super far away.
