Olivia Rodrigo loves polka dots, the timeless print that’s always in style. You’ll often spot her in a dotted sundress or a playful ra-ra skirt. While her signature style mixes cropped knits, Y2K dresses, grungy plaids, and corset tops, her latest outfit nails two of this summer’s biggest trends.

The singer was seen in New York on June 7 before her performance at the Governor’s Ball. She wore a black boatneck vest top, calf-length black heeled boots, and standout white-and-black polka dot short-shorts from Reformation—one of her go-to brands. She accessorized with a black leather and nylon bag featuring silver hardware on its long strap. Her beauty look stayed true to form: long, straight hair with a middle part, minimal makeup, lined eyes, and a nude lip.

Polka dots have been trending for a while, but they shined brightest in the Spring/Summer 2025 runways, from Jacquemus to Acne Studios—and, of course, Miu Miu, where the playful print always has a home. Rodrigo’s wardrobe is full of polka dots and other fun patterns, like ladylike shift dresses paired with Miu Miu accessories, Reformation summer halters, and flirty Alessandra Rich minis. But she also leans into grungy checks and plaids, a staple of her GUTS era.

At the Governor’s Ball, Rodrigo surprised fans by bringing out Talking Heads legend David Byrne for a duet of Burning Down the House. She also debuted new stage looks, all featuring ultra-short shorts. One outfit included a red leather bra and matching studded silver hot pants, while another paired a graphic tee with a black crystal-embellished I LOVE NY bikini top, even shorter shorts, a chunky studded belt, and combat boots.

Whether on or off stage, Olivia Rodrigo’s summer style is all about keeping shorts short and prints polka-dotted.
