A MOMENT PLEASE, FOR MISS OLIVIA DEAN

Every so often a new talent emerges to upend the music industry. The past two years have been dominated by a handful of pop icons – including Charli XCX and Sabrina Carpenter – who’ve become so firmly lodged in the zeitgeist it’s hard to imagine a time before them. But there’s one woman whose steady ascent to stardom has been bubbling away quietly, and now (after years wooing her devoted fans with a celestial voice and enviable wardrobe) has exploded into the mainstream with all the fervour it deserves.

That person is, of course, Olivia Dean. London born and raised, Olivia’s infectious positivity and immense talent have quickly cemented her as the UK’s girl next door. She’s the dream best friend, and the tastemaker pinned front and centre on our mood boards. Ahead of her new album The Art of Loving, we’ve taken a scroll through the archives and pulled out every legendary look Miss Dean has graced us with – from on-stage showstoppers to red carpet head-turners. If you were looking for an excuse to have more fun with your clothes, consider this your starting point.

OLD-HOLLYWOOD GLAM

Armed with bouncy voluminous curls and a live brass band, Olivia is no stranger to old-Hollywood glamour. Her wardrobe may feature a wide array of designers and playful silhouettes, but this vintage energy is a steady theme in most of her looks – the above included. With black lace trims, colourful embroidery and an asymmetric hem, this dress is a joyful nod to jazz-bar chic that feels Betty Boop-adjacent in the best way.

LITTLE BLACK DRESS

Olivia's looks boast as much range as her vocal cords – nicely demonstrated by this sleek black dress. Comparatively more understated than her on-stage ensembles, this ankle-length gown is elevated by crystal embellished spaghetti straps and platform heels. The halter neck silhouette is timelessly flattering, while her statement locks are left to do the talking.

BUTTER-YELLOW BEAUTY

We’d hesitate to label Olivia a trend-lover, given her playful personal style – but this butter-yellow dress is one instance where the singer seamlessly weaves her own sartorial codes with everyone’s favourite pieces. The draped bardot neckline is straight out of Olivia’s vintage roster, with a simple court shoe and tortoise-shell sunglasses adding an extra classic touch. The suede brown bag, however? An unexpected accessory that brings some inner-city charm to this otherwise delicate look. You can take the girl out of North London, but you can never take the North London out of the girl.

COLOUR-BLOCK CARDIGAN

Most people would categorise themselves one of two ways: a colour-lover, or a minimalist. Olivia is one of those rare fashion unicorns who straddles both – and with great success, we might add. This cardi and midi-skirt combo is a prime example, weaving an unusual palette of pastels through the soft blue lace, dusty pink skirt, and pistachio green sheer knit. A deep red bag and shoe anchor the look and take a picnic-perfect outfit into two-martini territory.

PREPPY TAILORING

Another case of seasonal style made all the better by an Olivia Dean twist, this tailored co-ord features the star’s favourite platform shoes and slimline sunglasses. Opting for shorts and a bare leg, the heavyweight blazer still feels fun, fresh and feminine – while the micro silver bag keeps things from veering into corporate territory. With autumn undoubtedly here, wool-blend tailoring like this is a great addition to your wardrobe, providing infinite combinations and fun ways to elevate your everyday look.

LADY IN RED

Every one of Olivia’s looks is stitched with wow-factor – but this one takes the cake. The singer is known for her captivating stage presence, often breaking into dance with the flash of a tambourine and a few heel kicks. So an outfit with plenty of movement is a must. This layered maxi skirt has reams of volume and structure, while the cropped sleeveless blouse breaks up the silhouette with enough flirty energy to match Olivia’s impeccable vibes. The matching red shoes are just the cherry on top (or bottom, should we say), pulling everything together in a colour-drenched ‘fit that avoids feeling costumey. If you’re headed to any winter weddings, this serves some serious inspo.
