Having recently kicked off the Asian leg of her A Matter of Time tour, Icelandic-Chinese jazz and pop sensation Laufey is doing more than just selling out arenas—she is actively building a style identity that belongs entirely to her, one that has sparked a global style movement known affectionately across social media as “Laufeycore.” Her wardrobe blends classical elegance with whimsical femininity — ethereal tulle, delicate bows, tailored cardigans, and an enviable collection of Mary Janes and ballet flats.
Much like her sound, Laufey’s look feels simultaneously nostalgic and entirely fresh, with her on-stage attire shifting effortlessly from romantic, billowing gowns that evoke classical art forms to high-glamour, jazz-age flapper dresses adorned with intricate tassels and sequins. Between her captivating vocals and stunning outfits, Laufey has everyone completely bewitched. Here is a closer look at the definitive style of everyone’s favourite “Lover Girl.”
1/ Custom Bode Yellow Maxi Dress
Inspired by the ballet The Sleeping Beauty, this gown looks straight out of a fairytale. While this dress usually comes in a mint green, Laufey’s sunflower-yellow, LA-exclusive version is a playful nod to the Lakers’ colours. Featuring intricate silver, red, and yellow sequins embroidered on the bodice and neatly scattered throughout the voluminous tulle, Laufey looks like a ray of sunshine gliding across the stage. The finishing touch is a golden headband placed beautifully across her hair, serving as a crown fit for a modern princess.
2/ Sheer Ruffled Chloé Gown
Laufey completely subverted expectations at the 2026 Billboard Women in Music awards with a major style pivot. While she kept her beloved bows and frills, her Chloé gown took a daring turn with an entirely sheer fabric and a stunning backless cut. It was a bold move, but with its high Victorian collar, the look still perfectly captured that soft, vintage charm we all know and love.
3/ Custom Rodarte Tulle Dress
Laufey captivated the audience in the desert heat at Coachella 2026, wearing a custom Rodarte tulle dress complete with hand-beaded Swarovski crystals and edgy, jagged details. Against her signature castle prop backdrop, Laufey perfectly channels a “Swan Lake meets modern pop” aesthetic with this ensemble. The pristine white fabric catches the stage lights beautifully, while a matching pair of glittery jazz heels serves as yet another nod to her classical ballet roots.
4/ Miu Miu Duchess Gown
Laufey donned a show-stopping, electric green satin Miu Miu gown featuring dramatic ruching at the Pre-Grammy Gala in January this year. The off-the-shoulder, floor-length silhouette was perfectly paired with an elegant updo, offering an elevated take on a retro ’80s prom dress with a distinct Laufey twist. Keeping her signature bow element front and centre, she looked like a beautifully wrapped gift, ready to spread joy with her music.
5/ Custom Rodarte Sequin Mini Dress
For the second weekend of Coachella, Laufey graced the stage in yet another Rodarte masterpiece that looked like a dream. This iridescent, light blue sequin mini dress—elevated by delicate princess sleeves and a gracefully ruched bust—is the absolute essence of “Laufeycore.” Positioned before a breathtaking, whimsical backdrop of a twilight swing and celestial skies, the shimmering fabric on Laufey made her look absolutely ethereal.
6/ Custom Bode Skirt Set
Twirling around the stage in her final tour look, Laufey closes her shows in a custom Bode three-piece set. Featuring a brown fringed jacket heavily inspired by the glitz and glamour of the Ziegfeld Follies, this showgirl-extravaganza ensemble is completely bedazzled. With golden tassels cascading from the jacket, this look is completed at every stop with a customised, city-specific sash—making it a truly unique piece of wearable art.
7/ Red Richard Quinn Gown
Bringing her theatrical flair to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Laufey emerged in a brilliant, full-length tulle creation by Richard Quinn. The gown served as a nod to classic Old Hollywood glamour, featuring a cascading red tulle skirt that flowed from her waist. The bodice featured three black ribbons that created a sharp, striking contrast against the red fabric.
8/ Custom Bode Qipao Dress
Saving the best for last, Laufey debuted a custom Bode qipao in Hong Kong. The red dress features a mandarin collar, a stunning departure from her usual necklines that honours her Chinese heritage. Sequined embroidery evokes traditional Chinese florals, while scalloped fringe adds delicate detail. The mini transforms into a maxi with a detachable tulle skirt — a bold, culturally rich statement that’s enough to make anyone a ‘Madwoman’ with wardrobe envy.
