The Millennial Shoe We Swore We'd Never Wear Again... Is Back

The latest internet drama centering on a woman's outfit is all about Olivia Rodrigo. As she promotes her highly anticipated third album, her signature baby doll dresses have riled people up online, but is it actual outrage, or a case of genius PR rage bait?

This week, Tam and Lucinda are unpacking the fashion psychology behind the headlines, alongside the return of a highly controversial early-2000s shoe that millennials know and love in their little millennial hearts (yes, the Valentino Rockstud is officially back).

Plus, they look at how the tides have completely shifted with secondhand shopping. Vintage has moved from an alternative fallback to the ultimate status symbol, bringing a whole new meaning to "fashion currency." And move over "dopamine dressing", "cortisol dressing" is the new low-impact trend your wardrobe needs right now.
