[!CDATA[Summer 2024 was dominated by Charli XCX's lime green hyperpop and modernized indie sleaze, but all signs point to Lorde taking over the summer of 2025. The New Zealand singer is making a highly anticipated return with her fourth studio album, "Virgin," set to be released on June 27th. Lorde's comeback began with an Instagram revamp and a surprise appearance at Coachella, where she performed alongside Charli XCX, signaling the start of her new era. Following her Coachella appearance, Lorde released the angsty post-breakup track "What Was That," accompanied by a music video shot on the streets of New York City. She also unveiled the X-ray-themed album cover on Instagram and made a statement at the 2025 Met Gala in a custom metallic two-piece outfit by Thom Browne. Lorde's style reflects a blend of angst, adventure, intimacy, and androgyny, setting the tone for summer 2025. Lorde's recent fashion choices have leaned towards menswear-inspired looks, featuring oversized polo shirts, slouchy button-ups, and gender-bending elements. Her embrace of masculine fashion staples aligns with the themes of her upcoming album, "Virgin," which explores raw femininity and spirituality. Oversized polo shirts and slouchy button-ups are expected to be popular choices for summer 2025, with brands like Gap and Lioness offering suitable options. In addition to her fashion statements, Lorde's beauty looks have also evolved, with a shift towards more natural makeup and embracing the bushy eyebrow trend. Despite the subdued makeup, Lorde's summer aesthetic promises to be vibrant and full of vibes, drawing inspiration from the messy party culture of the 'brat' aesthetic and '90s indie sleaze. The upcoming album's themes of adventure and risk-taking further enhance the anticipation for Lorde summer. As Lorde prepares to release "Virgin," the imagery surrounding the album captures a balance of sleazy adventure and raw intimacy. The photoshoot for Document Journal showcases Lorde in vulnerable moments, reflecting the album's themes of transparency and vulnerability. With a mix of gritty indie sleaze and emotional depth, Lorde's summer 2025 is set to be a captivating blend of boldness and authenticity.]]
