Olivia Rodrigo is a popular singer-songwriter and actress that is best known so far from her role in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series on Disney+ and followed this with her hit album SOUR in 2021. This previous year she released her second album called GUTS in 2023. She also did a recorded live performance through Vevo of some popular hits from her new album like ‘get him back!’ And ‘all-american b*tch.’

There are a few different fun and sparkly looks in this video like her blue sequin square neck mini dress, and her more casual one with a white tank top, sequin shorts, silver hoop earrings, and a microphone.

Avril Lavigne is a Canadian musician who helped popularize the pop-punk sound that defined much of the early 2000s.  Her breakout hit was Sk8er Boi from her first album.  In the music video for it, Avril dons heavy eyeliner, a trucker hat, Converse sneakers, and her signature tie.  In Addition, Avril wears black and white striped socks, black pants, a wallet chain, and studded bracelets.  The t-shirt she wears in the video is green with yellow text.  You can find replica versions online, or choose another green t-shirt with a fitting theme.

Olivia Rodrigo is a pop singer/songwriter who started her music career in 2021 with “Driver’s License.” Her debut album, Sour, dominated the pop charts. Off the heels of the recent single “Vampire,” comes “Bad Idea, Right?” The music video features Olivia leaving a party to see her ex, which she contemplates through the lyrics of the song. The promo picture featured Olivia in front of a mirror, with the title written in red lipstick. The music video has 11 million views and over 50 million streams on Spotify. Fans can expect her second studio album, Guts, later this year.

In Jem and the Holograms, Pizzazz (real name Phyllis Margaret Gabor, which she can’t stand) is the main vocalist and guitarist of the rock band The Misfits. She dresses in classic 1980s garb, with neon green, hot pink, and animal print from head to toe. She wants fame above all else, and harbors jealousy towards Jem.

Remember that song “Friday?” Its catchy yet obnoxious chorus about “looking forward to the weekend” was stuck in everyone’s head. From parodies to voice dubs, it became one of the most viral memes in existence. Ten years later, Rebecca Black returns with an fast paced, electro-pop remix featuring Dorian Electra, Big Freedia, and 30H!3. Its music video borrows elements from the original, but a grown up, glam-punk Rebecca is street racing as oppose to going to school. It surpassed 2 million views on Youtube and 650,000 streams on Spotify.

Hannah Montana was the celebrity persona/alter ego of pop singer Miley Cyrus. She had her own show on Disney Channel, which revolved around Miley Stewart, a normal high schooler, by day and Hannah, a teen pop sensation, by night.  Some of her famous songs include “Best of Both Worlds,” “Rock Star,” and “Nobody’s Perfect.” Her massive success resulted in two movies: one following her concert and the other as a conclusion to the show. She is known for her signature blonde wig. Later on, she made music as both Hannah and Miley, before just going by Miley. This makes a great throwback or Disney nostalgia costume.

Taylor Swift is an American singer/songwriter. From “Love Story” to “You Belong with Me,” her songs narrate her personal and romantic life. She started out as a country singer, but her current music fits more of the pop genre. Taylor is one of the world’s best selling music artists and the highest earning female musician of the 2010s. Some of her hit albums include Red, Speak Now, 1989, and her most recent album, Lover. As most musicians, Taylor’s style has evolved throughout the years, so we have three looks from each era of her career. You can go classic country pop with her long hair and cowboy boots, Red style with a black fedora and red flats, or a modern T-Swift with a glittery dress.
