Lorde ruled over the 2013 pop landscape with hits “Royals” and “Tennis Court”. The youthful, hyper-literate chanteuse won over fans and critics with a wise-beyond-her-years sound, and impressed the fashion world with a brash style all her own. A little bit schoolgirl and a little bit siren, Lorde gave Goth a modern twist.
While a pop of color isn’t out of the question, Lorde is most known for transforming basic black. From sleek minimalism to rock ‘n’ roll sex appeal and tomboy chic, this girl keeps it simple while managing to mix it up. This gal also shows us how a signature shade can be achieved by experimenting with textures and soft and hard layers that break up the monotony of the monochrome.
With her wild mane and dark plum lip color, Lorde stands out in a sea of carefully coiffed popsters. Craving that edgy, bold lip? Follow Lorde’s lead and keep the rest of your makeup clean and simple, putting that pout front and center. As for the enviable mop of curls? This is a case of making the most of your natural assets. Whatever your hair texture, celebrate it and snag some specialty products to bring out its best.
Lorde dares to be different, and that confidence has landed her on our best-dressed radar. For an effortless Goth glamour, look to this precocious pop star for style inspiration.
