Zara Larsson rang in 2026 in high-impact fashion while performing at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest in Las Vegas. For the televised celebration, Larsson stepped onstage in a custom Sorcha O’Raghallaigh creation that cleverly blurred the line between an embellished dress and a bodysuit.
The look, shared via the designer’s Instagram, featured a striking palette of icy blue, soft pink, and silver tones. The fitted bodice showcased intricate crystal embellishments arranged in pastel blue and blush hues, radiating outward from the neckline in a sculptural, frost-like pattern. Beneath the ornate exterior, the garment functioned as a bodysuit, offering a smooth, streamlined fit that hugged her frame.

Rather than a traditional skirt, the design incorporated cascading silver fringe panels extending from the waist. This detail created the illusion of a mini dress while revealing the bodysuit structure underneath. As Larsson performed, the metallic fringe caught the light with every movement, enhancing the outfit’s dynamic, performance-ready quality.
Styled by Cate O’Niwiki, the look balanced drama with polish. Larsson wore her long blonde hair down in soft waves. Her makeup was luminous, featuring rosy blush, glossy lips, and subtle shimmer around the eyes. Her minimalist jewelry approach ensured that the focus remained firmly on the craftsmanship, color play, and texture of the ensemble.
By choosing a dress that doubled as a bodysuit, Zara Larsson embraced a bold, modern approach to performance dressing. The look balanced high fashion artistry with practical wearability, reinforcing her reputation for experimenting with silhouettes that feel both daring and intentional. As New Year’s style moments go, this one delivered maximum impact with a clever twist.
