Governors Ball 2025: Olivia Rodrigo and Hozier reign over New York festival
For the past year, I have dined out on the story of being in the Sunday crowd at last year's Governor's Ball. That sweltering afternoon in the sun, the largest crowd of New York's premier music festival – more than could fit on the lawn of Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens – gathered at an unusual hour for a mid-bill set. If you're lucky, there are a few times in the life of a regular concertgoer when it is not just another great show, when you can feel the gravity of the zeitgeist shift. Chappell Roan, dressed as the Statue of Liberty and ferried to the stage in a giant apple, belting Red Wine Supernova to a sea of pink cowboy hats in one of the loudest sing-backs I have ever heard, is one of those times, a clear sonic boom of a cultural rocket taking off. Roan's star-making moment turned out to be a stake in the ground of a tentpole year for women in pop music, and the 2024 Gov Ball happened to find itself at the center. The festival lucked out in booking Roan before she blew up, unofficially launching her successful campaign for Grammys best new artist. Same for Sabrina Carpenter, also given mid-day booking before Espresso became the song of the summer. From Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna to proudly queer Broadway crossover Reneé Rapp to headliner SZA, the festival palpably hummed with hype for female acts both ascendant and bankable, taking advantage of Coachella's so-called flop year for a cheaper, more accessible, banner weekend for, as I heard more than once, the 'girls and the gays'. That momentum was palpably absent from this year's Gov Ball, a colder and soggier affair that felt comparatively removed from the cultural pulse, short on buzzy moments or big debuts, though still an excellent showcase for the breadth and talent of international artists. That's not entirely the fault of the organizers, who had to grapple with intermittent storms bad enough to delay all of Saturday, forcing cuts to lower-bill acts, shortened sets and exorbitant entrance lines snaking around the park. And no shade to a slate of enjoyable performers who brought as much energy as they could to gray days, and especially not to Saturday headliner Olivia Rodrigo, a pop princess in her own right who drew easily the biggest crowd of the weekend – the sheer amount of people rushing the gates after her triumphant kiss-off anthem Get Him Back! brought foot traffic to a sardined standstill. That Rodrigo would pull the greatest focus of the weekend – Saturday was the only day to sell out – is not a surprise, as Gov Ball notoriously skews young, the festival being relatively cheap (emphasis on relative – three-day general admission starts at $359, compared to $649 for Coachella, and a single day goes for $189) and accessible via public transit. (One hopes the hordes of teenage girls I saw in the outfit of the summer – a lacy, tiered white miniskirt and brown western boots – were not on Klarna payment plans.) Like her one-time idol Taylor Swift, Rodrigo appeals to the very young – girls on their parents' shoulders, teens who trill in unison 'ooooh she looks so goooooood' when she appeared in a red polka dot lingerie set and knee-high Doc Martens, her staple shade of blood-red lipstick pristine. Girls largely too young to understand the import of David Byrne, who showed up for a buoyant duet of Burning Down the House that delighted as much as it confused the audience around me. Rodrigo, still an ingenue when speaking and gloriously fed up in song, delivered on an already well-regarded set, her Guts tour having been under way for over a year. Such was another weight on this year's Gov Ball, which caught fellow headliners Tyler, The Creator and Hozier on the back end of tour cycles instead of launching them, as with last year's headliners Post Malone, SZA and the Killers. Tyler, the still-impish provocateur of experimental hip-hop, acknowledged as much during his banger of a Friday set, admitting in typical chillspeak that though he was tired from his Chromakopia tour, 'I fuck with Governors Ball and what they do so I decided to show the fuck up.' And he did, offering a masterclass of weirdo charisma from atop a storage container, at turns devilish, mischievous and conspiratorial ('Let's see what other old shit I got,' he said before launching into 2011 hit She.) The ghost of 2011 could be felt elsewhere; if last year skewed pure pop, this one skewed toward the voguish, so-called 'stomp clap hey' revival of folk pop, with more acoustic acts such as Mt Joy, the Japanese House and festival-closer Hozier, as well as Spotify-friendly indie pop bands like Wallows (fronted by 13 Reasons Why actor Dylan Minnette) and Australian duo Royel Otis. If there was a viral star of the weekend, it was upstart Benson Boone, appealing to a similar crowd as Rodrigo with ruddy-cheeked earnestness and, by my count, nine backflips. ('Did you really just say don't flip? What did you think this show was gonna be?' he said to a concerned audience member after his first high arc off the piano.) The same straining balladeer act that drew Pitchfork derision at Coachella won over the crowd here; former YouTuber and Rodrigo BFF Conan Gray stretched the theatrical earnestness even further with a sailor moon-themed set. The zeitgeist is an uncontrollable variable, and though its current was overall weaker this year, it still flashed in lower-billed sets that got the people going. South African siren Tyla performed Bliss for the first time live – albeit so early on Friday the adults were not yet out of work – and, as at Coachella, transfixed audiences with her sinuous dancing and micro-shorts. whose guitar feats inspired dozens of 'how did he do that?' videos last year, kicked off the weekend by blowing out everyone's ear drums (complimentary) in a smoky, banter-less, virtuosic set befitting a new guitar mystic. Puerto Rican reggaeton artist Young Miko nearly stole the show Saturday, flexing her bars and Puerto Rican pride for one of the most hype sets of the weekend. 'New York, is it gay here or is it just me?' she said in English, wishing everyone a happy pride month. (And later, in Spanish and to huge cheers, 'Whenever I come to New York I feel at home.') British chanteuse Raye brought up the energy with her powerhouse vocals, while genre-bending Ghanaian-American singer Amaarae performed in front of clear instructions for her audience: MOSH. If the energy – and weather – was hit and miss, Gov Ball at least brought it home on Sunday with back-to-back sets calling to some higher power. For Oxford psychedelic-pop quartet Glass Animals, the catharsis of letting go on a dance floor, let by startlingly (and winsomely) upbeat frontman Dave Bayley; the bass drop of Tokyo Drifting into 2020 smash Heat Waves killed whatever hearing and inhibitions I had left. And for Irish headliner Hozier, the power of solidarity, underscored by 90 minutes of worshipful folk-rock and one extended speech 'from the heart' on anti-colonialism, name-checking Mavis Staples, the American civil rights movement, the Irish civil rights movement and the ongoing struggle for Palestinian liberation. 'Every single day, we have an opportunity to show up for not only members of our community but people around the world,' he said. 'I would advise you to say no to the types of imperialism that lead to cycles of violence that we're seeing at the moment.' The 35-year-old flattered New York as a 'very special place' where he witnessed 'acts of goodness, acts of solidarity' and anti-racism. One could dismiss it as pandering, but as a stranger hugged my sister and I to Hozier's rousing Take Me to Church, and his transcendent chords blended magically with the whirr of incoming flights to LaGuardia, I found myself among the festival faithful.

Migrant pickpocket crew nabbed working the crowd at NYC Governor's Ball Festival: police
A crew of migrant pickpockets was nabbed plying their trade at the Governor's Ball Festival in Queens — and all three are back on the streets, according to police and court records. Police responded to the three-day music festival at Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Friday night on reports of stolen phones, where eagle-eyed cops spotted the three Colombian immigrants — including one woman who was caught grabbing a phone out of the victim's purse, law enforcement sources said. Three migrants — Maritza Cortes Palomo, 35; Windi Paola Mendoza Echeverry, 34; and Maria Mendoza, 30 — were arrested at the park and charged with fourth-degree grand larceny and fifth-degree criminal possession of stolen property, an NYPD spokesperson said Sunday. Advertisement Three migrants were arrested for pickpocketing patrons at the Governor's Ball Festival on Friday, according to police. Brandon Nagy/Shutterstock Echeverry was also charged with resisting arrest, police said. According to sources, cops from the NYPD Pickpocket Squad and Patrol Borough Queens North flooded the festival looking for sticky-fingered crooks, which led to the Friday night arrests. Advertisement One of the migrants had four phones tucked in her waistband when she was arrested, sources said. Court records show that all three of the alleged Governor's Ball thieves were arraigned on Saturday and Sunday and all were released without bail pending return court appearances. All three woman told police they live in Florida. Cops responded to the Governor's Ball Festival in Queens on reports of stolen phones and arreseted three migrants. Brandon Nagy/Shutterstock Advertisement Under the state's controversial 2019 criminal justice reforms the charges lodged against the three migrants were not eligible for bail. Palomo and Mendoza are due back in court on July 29, and Echeverry is scheduled for Aug. 12. The Post reported last year that teams of pickpocketing asylum seekers had created an additional headache for the NYPD, with sources identifying at least 100 migrant offenders. One year earlier, the department created the pickpocket team to combat the trend.

Spotted! Olivia Rodrigo Combines Summer's Hottest Print With Her Love of Short-Shorts
Olivia Rodrigo has a penchant for polka dots, the now transeasonal it-print: Catch her in a spotty sun dress or a dotted ra-ra skirt anytime. And while the musician has a set sense of style—cropped knits and Y2K dresses, grungy plaids, and corset tops—her latest look aligns with two of this summer's more prominent trends. The singer was spotted out in New York yesterday (June 7) prior to her performance at the Governor's Ball. She wore a black boatneck vest top, calf-length black heeled boots, and most notably, a pair of white and black polka dot short-shorts. The low-rise linen shorts are from one of Rodrigo's most-worn brands, Reformation. She slung a black leather and nylon bag over her shoulder, with silver hardware woven through its long strap. On the beauty front, she kept to her usual long straight hair with a definitive middle part, minimal makeup with lined eyes and a nude lip. Polka dots have been popping off for a while, but they were at their most brilliant in the spring summer 2025 shows, from Jacquemus to Acne Studios. Of course, the girlish dot always finds a home at Miu Miu, too. And in Rodrigo's wardrobe? Polka dots and other playful prints abound, with a dotted ladylike shift dresses with Miu Miu accessories, summer halters via Reformation once again, and a flirty Alessandra Rich mini-dress. You'll more often than not also find Rodrigo in more grungy checks and plaids a la the GUTS era. Photo: Instagram (@oliviarodrigo) Yesterday evening, Rodrigo hit the Governor's Ball stage and brought out Talking Heads legend David Byrne for a special duet of 'Burning Down The House.' Rodrigo also took the moment to debut some new costumes, with several iterations of short-shorts. One look saw the singer don a red leather bra and matching studded silver hot pants. Another saw her change into a graphic tee and black 'I LOVE NY' crystal bikini, with even shorter pants-slash-shorts and a chunky studded waist belt, with black combat boots.

Sunscreen to Shoppers: Pick Your Poison
Welcome back to Haul of Fame, your must-read beauty roundup for new products, new ideas and the ultimate wife guy in skincare. Included in today's issue: Byredo, Burt's Bees, Charlotte Tilbury, Cyklar, Decorté, Dermalogica, Diptyque, Dr. Shereene Idriss, Eva NYC, Inkey List, Kylie Cosmetics, Kimchi Chic, Kylie Minogue, Lush, Lux Unfiltered, MAC Cosmetics, Maybelline, Milk Makeup, Murad, Native, Nette, Nuface, Philip B., Snif, Senegence, Soshe, Tarte, Thrive Causemetics, Truly Beauty, Typology, Violette_FR, YSE Beauty and VIP barbecue sauce. But first… There's a gas station and car wash in downtown Los Angeles that will check your car for smog-causing emissions. Above the price chart for toxic fumes is another kind of sky smear: A giant billboard that reads, 'the sun isn't poison but your sunscreen is.' Next to the message is Primally Pure's Sun Cream SPF 30, a $38 beige tube of beef tallow, zinc oxide and the radiant smiles of women who have 'done their own research.' Primally Pure is a brand by the conservative influencer and podcaster Bethany Joy McDaniel. An entrepreneur and mom of two, McDaniel makes some truly excellent points in her content. She encourages faith-based communities to take a more active interest in their members' physical health; she wonders if fillers are making everyone look the same; she encourages young women to explore the connection between gut health and skin health, especially in the context of alcohol. This is all great! But then McDaniel throws out the baby with Sydney Sweeney's bathwater by saying SPF isn't always necessary, and it's better to go bare-skinned than use something 'chemical.' Phew. Naturally, there's been big backlash from dermatologists, social media users, and Blue State moms trying to force a tube of Supergoop onto their kids before they leave for Governor's Ball. I'm not here to litigate that, because: Science. Instead, let's talk about what happened after Primally Pure threw down its billboard gauntlet: The brand got (sun)burned. On Wednesday, Australian skincare label Ultra Violette decided to turn the momentum from its recent launch into the US via Sephora into a clapback. The brand's social team photoshopped their own version of a sunscreen billboard onto the car wash space. 'Warning,' it reads. 'This SPF contains chemicals, hydration and common sense.' Similar posters blare 'This SPF is 100% poisonous to premature aging' and 'Save the beef tallow for your potatoes, not your pores.' On Instagram, Ultra Violette's billboard reveal landed over 4000 engagements and increased the brand's online engagement sixfold, according to the online analytics platform Keywords Everywhere. Primally Pure's unveiling had some skeptical shoutouts in the New York Post and on the morning news program KTLA, landing 3440 engagements and an engagement rate of less than 1 percent. From Primally Pure's POV, the campaign 'was designed specifically to spark conversation, create transparency, and increase awareness,' said founder McDaniel by email, who included a link to a 2020 JAMA study that begs the FDA for more sunscreen safety data. Ultimately, both brands stand to benefit from a clash of ideals (and formulas). Like Wendy's tweeting insults at Katy Perry, digital swipes can turn up the heat on both brands, within reason. But even though neither Ultra Violette nor Primally Pure really 'loses' from their online billboard wars, the American public does lose when they're led to believe that sun care is more harmful than the melanoma it strives to prevent. In that sense, only one brand wins here — the one that uses proven data to keep its customers healthy long enough to shop another day. What else is new… Skincare On March 28, Rachel Antonoff made the near-impossible happen and had an actually fun fashion party at the Margaritaville in Times Square. Among the swag was Vacation's SPF oil, which was promptly swiped off every patio table and bar counter by enthusiastic editors (and most of the SNL writing staff). On March 29, Lux Unfiltered launched its own $44 SPF oil, a scented formula with notes of neroli. The brand also did a Sephora exclusive — a Blurring Body Glow with sunflower seed oil and vitamin C that's $25. Murad's Biome-Balancing serum arrived on May 28 with 'biome-sensing technology' that doesn't actually feel your breakouts coming, but it does use salicylic acid and glutamic acid to help prevent flare-ups. Real Housewife of Atlanta cast member Cynthia Bailey has entered the beauty brand chat. On May 29, she launched Glowissima, a skincare label co-founded with Dana Hill-Robinson, the chief executive of subscription beauty service Cocotique, which specifically focuses on Black-owned brands. It's got two hero products, a $64 face oil and $46 face cream. Welcome to Sephora, YSE Beauty! The brand founded by actress Molly Sims entered 361 doors on June 1 with four of its key formulas, including vitamin c serum and moisturiser. Online, you can get eight more items, like YSE's first foray into colour cosmetics, a tinted lip gloss. (I just tested it: Super-thick, pigment rich, crazy shiny. Nice one, Molly.) Do you want to smell like The Great British Bake Off when you sweat? Native launched a body care range on June 1 called Piece of Cake. It's got notes of frosting, buttercream, and sprinkles, and comes with a deodorant, body wash, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Everyone knows Mike's Hot Honey is the real MVP of a backyard barbecue, especially when grilled chicken is involved. Now it might be a CVS all-star, too. On June 1, the brand revealed its limited-edition collaboration with Burt's Bees, debuting a Hot Honey lip balm for $4. And it's not sold out yet… Typology's A40 Cryo Plumping Stick hit shelves on June 2 with 'an immediate cooling, plumping effect' and the promise to de-puff and energize skin; its mostly applied around the eyes. It's got polyglutamic acid, a soybean extract that can hold five times its weight in water, plus spirodela, which is better known as duckweed. If you enjoy watching super-graphic content of zits being… uh… un-zitted, pay attention to the Japanese skincare brand Decorté. Its AQ Pore Blackhead Dissolver Deep Pore Cleanser launched June 3 for $90 and claims to 'dissolve keratin plugs' for a more effective detox. The brand sent some lab close-ups of stressed skin to prove the effectiveness, and let's just say Dr. Pimple Popper would be proud. Time to ask your chatbots about Sunday Riley. On June 3, the brand introduced AI Retinoid Serum, a high-tech formula that helps restore skin clarity for optimum filter-free skin. The drop is part of a new acne-treating quartet including a cleanser, mist and salicylic acid serum called 'Peace Keeper.' This is especially fun for Danielle Brooks and John Cena fans, though I fear the name is incidental. On June 3, Dermalogica introduced a star-shaped carabiner that clamped onto a sunscreen stick from the brand's younger Clear Start line. (Think: The Clinique to Derm's Lauder.) The whole set goes for $30. On June 4, Truly Beauty dropped its Cherry Baby shimmery body oil as a TikTok Shop exclusive. The $38 moisturiser is a sister scent to Vanilla Baby, an iridescent white shade that's been spotted all over the University of Arizona sorority houses, according to my 19-year-old niece. (The same girl, who is a competitive dancer and science major, reported LoveShackFancy perfume is 'the absolute most popular thing' last year. I trust her.) Lush took its #1 best-seller, Super Milk Leave-In Conditioner, and turned it into a body shimmer. On June 4, the eco-based brand introduced Super Milk Glitter Mist Spray, a $26 bottle of shiny moisturiser that swaps plastic-based glitter for flecks of titanium dioxide. Why should Rhode have all the fun? On June 4, Cyklar launched its own body milk, Ceramide Milky Essence, for $30. It's got hyaluronic acid and amino acids, but remains dairy-free. Should pimple patches have a doctor co-sign them? Hundreds of millions in Starface revenue says 'nah.' Still, Dr. Shereene Idriss debuted her own version on May 29 that claims to handle both blemishes and discoloration. Face Reality introduced its 'professional grade' pimple patches on June 4 for $10… but what are 'amateur grade' ones? A gold star sticker from Staples and a prayer? Nuface has distilled its skin-lifting tech into a disposable, squishy sheet. On June 4, the brand dropped its Ionplex Hydra-Gel mask, a one-and-done face mask which blends electrolytes and glacial minerals. It's $37 for a pack of five. Face mists are TikToking along, with a 178% increase in mentions from April to May of this year. Inkey List wants in on the trend with its June 6 drop, the Hydro-Surge Dewy Face Mist, a $13 formula that includes aquaxyl, a moisturising compound that comes from sugar molecules, and 'earth marine water,' which comes from… like… the ocean. Inkey List is also debuting a Cream-to-Milk Cleanser ($19) with rice extracts and hyaluronic acid. Makeup Remember back in October, when Maybelline sponsored SNL's 50th anniversary season and got a surprise 'bonus' sketch that featured Ariana Grande and Jennifer Coolidge applying its lip gloss? This week, NBC revealed that the fake Maybelline commercial was the third-most watched SNL skit of the season, coming just behind the unstoppable 'Domingo' jingles. Let's see if sales for Maybelline liquid lipstick get a lift from the ratings. 'Shine first, safety second.' That's the tagline for Caliray's Lipguard, a glossy balm with SPF 31 that comes in five surf-inspired shades. It launched on May 29. Tarte's brand trips are some of the beauty industry's most viral. On May 30, they embraced the jetsetting notoriety with a 12-shade palette of new shades inspired by their tropical destinations. It's called the #TrippinWithTarte palette and retails for $47. Remember the '90s sleepover staple Caboodles? On June 2, Kimchi Chic unveiled a collab with the beloved neon makeup cases, including a limited-edition mini tote stuffed with four highlighting and contour crayons and a sheet of cutie-pie stickers. It's $32 and adorbs. Teen dreams do come true! On June 2, MAC Cosmetics created its first-ever Viva Glam Lipglass, a gleaming red shade called Kimmitment after brand ambassador Kim Petras. It's $26 with 100 percent of proceeds going to charities for LGBTQ+ rights, AIDS prevention and environmental justice. Mwah! Kylie Cosmetics has gone into the gloss. On June 3, the Coty-owned makeup brand introduced four Dew Balm Sticks, which combine the shimmery warmth of a blush and the shiny finish of a skin glaze. They're $28 each, and yes, they resemble Haus Labs' Glassy Highlighter Balms quite a bit, but they cost a teeny bit less. Get your Jelly Tints with free delivery. Milk Makeup hit Amazon Premium Beauty on June 3 with a robust selection of primers, mascara, brow gel and skin tints. It's hard to get a good, singular product name but Violette Serrat has done it. The Guerlain creative director and makeup artist behind Violette_FR debuted 'Lip Nectar' on June 3. It's a $29 hydrating lip stain that comes in four colours, including a deep plum and a rich caramel. The blurry cheek trend continues. On June 3, Soshe debuted Blurring Pillow Blush, a $28 cream-to-powder formula available in four shades, including some deeper hues for richer skin tones. Thrive Causemetics dropped illuminating eye serums and loose powders ($32 each) on June 4. They're meant to compliment the brand's best-selling Brilliant Eye Brighteners, which are basically cream shadow crayons with some shimmer. Pro tip: You can use the darker shades to make a smoky eye in 10 seconds. The lip oil wars continue. On June 6, Senegence debuted Lipsense, a line of three super-shiny lip slicks with jojoba, meadowfoam and vitamin C extracts. Charlotte Tilbury is hitting the thunder road. On June 6, the makeup artist for Kate Moss announced she was officially joining the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders as the squad's beauty partner. When I interviewed several DCC stars last year for the Wall Street Journal, they mentioned the brand's setting spray as a favorite… then admitted they also used $3 cans of hairspray because Tilbury's formulas can be pricey. Hopefully now these female athletes — who do so much, so well, and still make around minimum wage — can spritz without going broke. I got a little nervous when Dazzle Dry announced a Carnival-themed collection, out June 6, but thankfully it's got colours inspired by toffee and jelly beans and not clowns. Phew. Hair Care Just in time for the Wicked's new trailer, Eva NYC introduced Beyond Gravity, a volume and texture spray that promises hold without any crunchiness and a dose of shine-boosting Vitamin E. It hit shelves June 6. Philip B. had multitasking in mind for its latest formula, a Weightless Miracle Serum that acts as both a deep conditioner and a flyaway smoother. It's $75 and comes from the eponymous hairstylist brand's own own client base — they wanted a leave-in that worked for finer and thinner hair, and still allowed for movement and bounce. Fragrance Pretty obsessed with Diptyque's new 'Vinaigre de Toilette,' a multi-purpose drizzle of lavender, thyme and rosemary that can be used as a home or skin fragrance. After Loewe's tomato situation and Bath & Body Works' summer Off the Vine collection, a perfume vinaigrette feels just right for the summer salad trend. It's $92 and arrived on June 1. I just can't get eau out of my head. (Sorry.) Kylie Minogue dropped a new fragrance called Lovers on June 2 with the nose Ilias Ermenidis, who made everyone's ninth grade obsession Vera Wang Princess back in 2006. More recently, he did a 2023 stint with Parfums de Marly. For Kylie, he's concocted a mix of honeysuckle, tuberose and coconut milk; it's being made by Scent Beauty, the team behind Sabrina Carpenter's fragrance line. On June 2, Nette's Lemon Puff perfume hit Sephora. The day before, a line around the block formed for the fragrance at New York's Fluffy Fluffy Dessert Cafe, a pancake and souffle shop in the East Village. Looks like their social media campaign, which saturated Instagram with buttery toast and cream-dolloped pastries that flanked bottles of their fragrance, paid off. A month after Tory Burch's craveable collab with the Swedish candy company Bonbon, Snif debuted Swede Tooth, a perfume 'inspired by the Swedish candy craze' that features notes of watermelon, raspberry, violet and cedarwood. All good choices but guys, where's the salted licorice?! Byredo debuted Absolu versions of its Rose of No Man's Land and Bal d'Afrique scents on June 5. Each ultra-concentrated formula retails for $385 and has a formula that's been engineered for longevity and amplified scent complexity, which means the brand's subtle papyrus notes can finally give out their full 'Library of Alexandria' vibes. And finally… Carter Reum is a venture capitalist whose portfolio has included Classpass, Lyft and Shake Shack. He's also the husband of Paris Hilton, and on June 2, he posted to Linkedin in search of a VP for her new skincare brand, Parivie. 'She's sold $4BN of products with her name the last decade so this is a great opportunity for the right person to be in on the ground level of her latest innovative brand!' wrote Reum. Here's the official listing, which is under the umbrella of Hilton's media company 11:11. Put Reum's name down as your referral and see what happens.

Olivia Rodrigo Proves an Unexpected Print Is Actually So Boho
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. When you think of the boho aesthetic, which pieces come to mind? Perhaps a crocheted shawl, a billowy maxi dress, or over-the-knee boots. Pretty much every ensemble in the Chloé catalog works. On June 2, Olivia Rodrigo proved that with the right accessories, any Chloé creation can lean boho—even leopard-print pants. Just a few hours after landing in New York (in her signature Adidas Sambas, of course), Rodrigo hit Fish Cheeks in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood to celebrate a friend's birthday. She deemed it the perfect occasion to toast an unexpectedly all-seasons neutral, leopard print, at the same time. Chloé velvet trousers featuring a Y2k low-rise and a bootcut flare hem were the star's pick. This wasn't your run-of-the-mill animal print endorsement, however. From there, Rodrigo upped the boho vibes with suede peep-toe pumps and a coordinating, buckle-heavy brown shoulder bag by Stand Oil. Perhaps inspired by Jennifer Lawrence, Maya Hawke, and Hailey Bieber (to name a few), she chose a slouchy style crafted from faux nubuck leather that aligns with the belt bag trend. View Deal View Deal To finish, Rodrigo popped on a cherry red Brandy Melville long-sleeve. Then, she opted for minimal jewelry—just a silver pendant necklace and matching stud earrings. Much like Miley Cyrus, Bieber, and Lawrence, Rodrigo is undeniably embracing her wild side right now. A few hours before meeting up with her friends, the "Vampire" singer sported another animal print at JFK airport. Alongside jeans and Adidas Sambas, Rodrigo carried a zebra shoulder bag from Rouje. Unlike other Rodrigo-approved purses, the beige suede bag is still available to shop. View Deal Rodrigo has kept a low profile this spring, but she's back in New York City for a highly anticipated performance: her headlining slot at the Governor's Ball festival on June 8. At this rate, she'll take the stage wearing another déjà vu-inducing animal print—or subverting an unexpected seasonal pattern. My money's on plaid or gingham.
