In celebration of the singer's birthday, take a look back at her most fashionable moments.&nbsp;

Before <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lorde-talks-baring-it-all-for-solar-power-album-cover">Lorde</a> was a <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/music/most-iconic-grammy-performances-singers-music-awards-beyonce-pink-lady-gaga">Grammy</a>-winning artist, she was a 16-year-old from New Zealand with a halo of unruly hair and a deep, hypnotizing voice.
Eight years later, following the release of her hit single &ldquo;Royals&rdquo; and her most recent record, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lorde-talks-baring-it-all-for-solar-power-album-cover" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solar Power</a>, the talented <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/lorde-is-killing-the-grammys-with-kindness" target="_blank" rel="noopener">singer-songwriter</a> continues to captivate listeners with her emotionally charged lyrics and husky timbre. And while the legendary musician&rsquo;s sound has evolved over the years, so has her personal style.
At the beginning of her career, the indie singer matched the moodiness of her music with a penchant for all-black ensembles and vampy<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/beauty/how-to-choose-the-right-lipstick-for-you"> lipstick</a>, stark against her ivory <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/skincare-ph-balance-products">skin</a> and blue <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/colorful-mascara-spring-2021-makeup-trend">eyes</a>.
And though Lorde never abandoned her stylish edge, the release of her 2017 album, Melodrama, saw the singer mirror her pop-infused music by incorporating pops of color into her apparel. Donning a feather-lined lilac Monique Lhuillier gown at the 2017 VMAs and a voluminous<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/fashion/valentino-fall-winter-2022-haute-couture-rome-runway-photos"> Valentino</a> number a year later at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/why-didn-t-lorde-perform-solo-at-the-grammys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy&rsquo;s</a>, it was clear the singer had fallen into step with her new sound.
Following a four-year hiatus from the music industry, Lorde returned to the spotlight in the summer of 2021 with a joyful and luminous aesthetic in a sunny yellow two-piece for her "Solar Power" music video.&nbsp;
