To top off this look, the singer opted for Dr. Martens leather knee-high boots, grounding the romantic, feminine dresses with combat-inspired shoes—matching her instantly recognizable style with the introduction of a fresh chapter.Dr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High BootsDr. Martens 1B60 Bex Pisa Leather Knee High BootsThe Babydoll DressRodrigo is no stranger to the coquette-meets-punk aesthetic and the significance of the classic babydoll dress. She wore a white one on Friday as she sang “Drop Dead.” The dress appears to be a custom version of Dilara Findikoglu’s The Girl in a Room Dress.Christopher Polk//Getty ImagesIn April, she said “my Pinterest is all babydoll dresses and ’70s necklines. I want it all to feel fun and laid-back.” The Delgadillo sisters further described the singer’s style to British Vogue as “effortless, feminine, with a slightly undone feel.”The dress featured lace and ribbon detailing that echoed that sentiment.A Splash of PinkRodrigo also leaned into a more casual take on her signature pop-punk style, pairing a graphic T-shirt with micro hot-pink shorts. The look felt familiar to fans of her previous tour wardrobe, but the saturated pink added a distinctly Unraveled Tour touch. She finished the outfit with “orchid” pink checkerboard Vans, keeping the look playful.Christopher Polk//Getty ImagesThe ClassicRodrigo also stripped things back during a rendition of her debut album standout “Deja Vu” with one of her simplest looks of the night: a fitted white ribbed tank paired with relaxed blue jeans. The effortless combination offered a breather between the tour’s more theatrical costume changes. The look was a reminder that a simple tank and great denim can hold their own—even on an arena stage.View full post on TikTokThe Romantic PunkFor one of the show’s moodier moments, during performances of “Traitor” and “Cigarette Smoke,” Rodrigo switched into a black leather mini dress with a matching choker. The sleek silhouette, which feels similar to R&M Leathers’ piece with added silver hardware on the sleeve, contrasted well with the tour’s softer styling, while the choker added a subtle punk finish that echoed the rebellious streak running through the new album.Christopher Polk//Getty Images
