In a recent interview with Marie Claire, fashion journalist Tasnim Ahmed said the best Mary Janes flats have been the "preferred shoe of fashion freaks and darlings over the decades." Add Olivia Rodrigo, queen of Gen Z styling and forbearer of viral It-accessories, like the Coach Curve Zip bag, to the list right next to Twiggy, Jane Birkin, and Alexa Chung.
Olivia Rodrigo has stomped through her Guts World Tour in heavy-soled Mary Janes and combat boots by Dr. Martens, usually paired with custom Victoria's Secret tank tops and exposed bra straps. But for an Oct. 17 stop by Today in Sydney, Australia, the "Vampire" singer pulled off a twist on the Mary Janes trend that was more prim than punk. She sat down for an interview in a red cable-knit sweater, tiny leather shorts, and a pair of square-toe Mary Janes by Mansur Gavriel. (In true Gen Z fashion, these were styled with little white ankle socks.)
