Olivia Rodrigo is officially the queen of every summer aesthetic.

In her latest Instagram carousel documenting her time in the Big Apple, the pop star gave fans a dreamy glimpse at her fashion evolution and styling finesse. Among the standout looks was a picture-perfect example of the cottagecore trend: a butter-yellow baby doll dress paired with dainty brown ballerina flats.

Rodrigo wore the My Mum Made It Morning Mini Dress in Citrine ($124.95), a structured yet breezy silhouette ideal for braving a NYC heat wave. The singer behind chart-topping albums Guts and Sour completed the look with Bonnie Clyde’s Baby Sunglasses ($198), Anonymous Copenhagen Rhina Flats in Coffee Brown ($290) and Kate Spade’s Liv Shoulder Bag in a trendy animal print colorway ($258).

She captured a mirror selfie with the iconic Puffer Case ($80) in Burgundy wrapped around her iPhone. The 22-year-old’s long brown locks were pulled into a tousled ponytail and secured with a claw clip, with soft, face-framing strands left loose.

Of course, Rodrigo didn’t stop there. The rest of the photo dump proved she’s just as comfortable in sultry throwbacks and vintage designer as she is in off-duty girl-next-door. In one slide, the actress stunned in a baby pink plunging halter neck dress by Roberto Cavalli, styled with black patent peep-toe kitten heels. Another snap showcased a sultry Betsey Johnson 1990s slip dress paired with delicate red strappy kitten heels.

As the carousel moved from feminine to sporty-cool, the California native capped it off with a chic, layered city look. She bundled up in a luxe, structured Nili Lotan Edmont Double Breasted Long Coat ($1,153), topped with a navy Miu Miu logo baseball cap. Her accessories included Oliver Peoples 1969C sunglasses and classic black Dr. Martens Mary Jane Shoes.

“in honor of me moving out of my nyc apartment here are some pics I have taken in the hallway over the years 🤠,” the three-time Grammy-winning artist captioned the carousel with a sentimental note.

“Adore you. 🥰,” Jessica Capshaw commented.

“hallway history made 😍😍,” Leah Kate added.

“coolest way to record a diary of the time you were there omg🥺,” Capital Buzz chimed in.

“The iconic mirror 😍,” Morphe Brushes wrote.

“Wait, but that’s immediately an iconic hallway,” Sirius XM declared.

“Just adorable,” Tate McRae stated.

“big apple hallway you will be missed,” Conan Gray gushed.

“end of an era 🥹,” Threads concluded.
