We're Having An Addison Rae Summer: How To Dress Like The Y2K Pop Diva
Just as Charli XCX predicted at the end of her Coachella 2025 set, we've entered 'Addison Rae summer' — a not-too-far departure from 2024's brat summer. And like Charli, the TikTok star turned pop sensation — who wants to go by her mononym after the June 6 release of her self-titled album Addison — has a fashion sense that's just as distinctive as her music projects.
From itty-bitty denim shorts and round-toe pump heels to cropped graphic T-shirts and lingerie-as-outerwear outfits, Addison's retro style is Britney Spears-coded with apparent influences from Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, Madonna, and Marylin Monroe — all of whom she names in her song 'Money Is Everything.' The 24-year-old has a knack for Y2K-meets-Old-Hollywood dressing. And it's inspiring our own summer outfits.
If your hot weather style involves laidback, mismatched (and somewhat chaotic) looks, we promise that you can achieve a look that's more Addison Rae and less Adam Sandler. So if you'd 'rather get high fashion' and 'get a taste of the glamorous life,' read on for the top summer must-haves to channel the 'Aquamarine' singer. (Spoiler: pearls are involved.) Then, all that's left to do is crack open a Diet Pepsi and 'put your headphones on.'
