Rachel Zegler Debuts Retro Polka Cool Leaving “Evita” at London Palladium

Zegler wore an off-the-shoulder, short-sleeved dress in a brown and white polka dot print—equal parts 1960s ingénue and modern-day It girl. The fabric appeared lightweight, possibly cotton or a soft crepe, with a fitted bodice that flared gently at the hem. It’s the kind of silhouette that flatters without fuss, and the polka dots? A cheeky nod to retro femininity, minus the saccharine.

She grounded the look with tall brown boots—structured, sleek, and just rugged enough to offset the dress’s sweetness. Sunglasses hung casually from the neckline, suggesting a day-to-night transition that felt lived-in rather than styled. No visible jewelry competed for attention, letting the print and boots do the heavy lifting.

Leaving a musical like Evita, one might expect theatrical drama in the wardrobe. Instead, Zegler opted for a look that felt grounded, wearable, and quietly expressive. It’s part of a larger shift in celebrity street style: less curated, more character-driven. Think: what would Patti LuPone wear if she were 24 and had a TikTok following?
