At the iHeartRadio Album Preview in April 2026, Zara Larsson chose a Dolce and Gabbana sash tee and neon-highlighted hair – and the Y2K direction feels deliberate.
Y2K is not subtle.
At the iHeartRadio Album Preview in April 2026, Zara Larsson leaned all the way into it for a saturated photoshoot moment – hot pink backdrop, high-gloss makeup, and a white slogan tee that does not whisper. It announces itself.
The top is a Dolce and Gabbana “Miss Hawaii ’05” white cotton sash tee, complete with the built-in pink sash reading “Miss Hawaii 2005.” That pageant detail cuts diagonally across her torso, creating a sharp line against the fitted white base. It’s playful, yes, but it’s also structured in a way that frames her upper body instead of just sitting flat.
Below, hot pink micro-mini shorts keep the color story tight and unapologetic. The pink wraps around her look – background, sash, shorts – and then her hair breaks it up. Long blonde lengths with neon yellow and pink highlights fall straight over her shoulders, adding that early-2000s club-kid edge that’s very Midnight Sun era.
And here’s where it clicks: the styling is committed. Black PU leather “Punk Heart” fingerless gloves from Amazon and pink heeled mules from the Dior by John Galliano era push it into full Y2K territory rather than halfway nostalgia. You can see how every piece leans into the remix album concept without softening it.
It’s bold, maybe a touch chaotic, but it lands as intentional rather than random.
This kind of color-saturated studio portrait sits right at home in our take on celebrity photos, especially when the styling carries a clear theme.
For more on Zara Larsson at iHeartRadio moments, this one stands out for fully committing to a remix-era aesthetic instead of playing it safe.
Are micro-mini proportions peaking again, or is this strictly album-promo territory?
The built-in sash is the detail that makes the whole look snap into focus.
