Olivia Rodrigo’s exposed bejewelled G-string is straight out of the '00s

Showing the straps of your underwear beneath a put-together outfit sounds like it should be a fashion faux pas. And yet, there was nothing chicer in the noughties than exposing your thong. Wearing the spaghetti-thin straps of your G-string (yes, it had to be a G-string, Brazilian knickers wouldn't have achieved the same lewk) high up on your hips so they sat above the low-rise waistband of your skirts, jeans and Juicy Couture velour sweatpants is the very definition of peak Y2K style.

If the above triggers post-traumatic stress-inducing flashbacks, we suggest you stop reading now because Olivia Rodrigo has recreated this exact trend in her latest outfit. Stepping out at the Billboard Live Music Summit in Hollywood last night [Thursday 14 November], the artist repped an ensemble that was straight out of the '00s. Ironically, of course, as the 21-year-old was in nappies at the height of the exposed thong's sartorial reign.

Donning a cropped black tank top that featured double shoulder straps with buckle decoration and a pale blue metallic knee-length skirt, the straps of Olivia's black G-string thong were clearly visible over the waistband of her pencil skirt. Crystal-embellished buckle straps adorning each side strap drew further attention to her underwear. Peep the bejewelled detailing for yourself:

As well as nailing the Y2K trend, Olivia's blingy thong also perfectly coordinated with her silver stud earrings that were enhanced with additional sparkle. Black square-toe satin Mary Jane heels completed the 'fit and gave a further retro feel.

It's the latest throwback look from Olivia who recently wore a '90s black lace knit gown and a red patent leather lace-up mini. Safe to say we are loving her style *so* much RN.
