Street Style From the Grimes Concert in New York City This Weekend

With her multicolor bangs, strange-cool-girl status, and a suite of sold-out weekend shows in New York, the 24-year-old Canadian singer Grimes attracts an audience that prides itself on quirks – both in music and style. The Cut sent photographer Elizabeth Lippman to Bowery Ballroom to capture this crowd, and she found that the nineties are back in a big, scary, crop-top way. There was the model Hanne Gabe Odile, not only wearing a candy-raver unicorn horn but also swimming goggles and a pink vinyl raincoat for a look that felt like the best offstage take on Grimes’s goth-pop falsetto songs. And while the singer herself wears jeans and T-shirts onstage, the audience dressed with more intent, bringing high-impact Hawaiian shirts, Doc Martins, and high-price Chanel bags. Click through our slideshow to see costumes from the cool kids, while they all were dodging Halloween.
