Or maybe you’d rather make partygoers laugh with a clever callback to Kelly Clarkson’s infamous Brooklyn toy store debacle?

Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan in the ‘Expectations’ Music Video

Take a trip to the thrift store and grab some big Pretty in Pink bows, a teal blazer, purple tights, and maybe even a cheetah-print coat. If you want to feel like a single girl at a Vegas bar, may we suggest opting for Rodrigo’s pink “adored” T-shirt with a matching beret and tons of blue eye shadow?
