Style Crush - Lorde

Lorde - talented teenage sensation of recent months caught my eye not only with her modern, eclectic music, but also with her great style. I know it's very soon to talk about her, given she's just starting her career, and her style may change. Moreover, she hasn't been in the spotlight for a long time, so there are not that many of her outfits documented. Nonetheless, I decided to write a post with her style analysis - she's without a doubt  an interesting figure, and I'm sensing some really cool influences in her fashion choices.

Teenage witch - the word "goth" is often mentioned in media when describing Lorde, and I can perfectly see why. Witch her wonderful fluffy long curls, dark clothes witch lots of mesh and lace, and heavy boots she really does look kind of dark and unearthly:

Make up is crucial to Lorde's style. It's both intense and minimal - dark red, almost black lips and lined cat eyes. Her eyebrows are highlighted, which gives even more character and edge, and her skin remains pale and clear, no heavy foundations nor blush:

Lorde creatively mixes dark, gothic clothes with very modern, minimal ones, sometimes elegant, sometimes even slightly hip-hop inspired. The effect is really fresh and modern, but with edge, it suits her very well:

I'm really curious how will she evolve stylistically in the future. I love how she visibly has varied influences, both fashion and music-wise. And have I mentioned that her hair game is pretty damn strong? Here is a polyvore set for further inspiration:
