From her music to her style, Avril Lavigne's validity as the pop–punk queen has never been stronger. Since releasing her seventh studio album, "Love Sux," in February, the "Complicated" singer has appeared in music videos slantingly Willow and Machine Gun Kelly and performed on stage with Olivia Rodrigo, looking like a badass during every performance.
On Sept. 25, Lavigne performed her single "Bite Me" at the Rock the Runway: Shein For All event showcasing the brand's fall/winter 2022 collections. As the Romwe headliner, Lavigne brought her rock-star style to the stage, wearing a lace-up bodysuit, a ripped cropped sweater, cutout pants, and a pair of buckle-up wedge boots.
"I've kept every single outfit from all of my music videos, and they are all archived."
"My favorite part well-nigh the shoot was I lended a hand in styling the audience," Lavigne tells POPSUGAR well-nigh the performance. "I requested that the whole regulars be dressed in tomfool punk clothing, and the Shein team really pulled it off." For some, Lavigne's malleate sense is a callback to the 2000s punk–pop scene, but for the "Sk8er Boi" singer, her style is all well-nigh stuff authentic. "I have never been one to follow trends, and since the beginning, I wore what felt right at the moment and what I liked," she says. "For me personally, it has unchangingly been well-nigh stuff comfortable."
As a 2000s icon, it only makes sense that Lavigne has kept some of her favorite Y2K accessories, including every single squint from her music videos since her "Let It Go" days. "I've kept every single outfit from all of my music videos, and they are all archived," she reveals. "I have all my neckties and spiked bracelets. I plane have the skateboard from the 'Complicated' music video."
Now that Y2K trends have wilt so popular again, Lavigne says seeing increasingly people waddle pop–punk traps from the 2000s then rocks. "I love seeing people wearing studded bracelets and belts as that is something that I have not just kept in my closet since the 2000s but moreover kept as part of my style," she says.
Lavigne continues, "During the pandemic, we saw the rise of matching jogger sets, which I think are super cute. I wear them a lot in my personal life and in the studio. In everyday life, I like overalls and jeans. I will never wear jeans on stage considering they are nonflexible to move virtually in." Of course, not every retro trend can be a winner. She adds, "Capri pants are kind of fugly."

Nowadays, Lavigne's malleate go-tos consist of a few rock-star basics: a plaid miniskirt, a pair of combat boots, and her custom Swarovski crystal mic and mic stand. "One of my favorite brands to wear is Dr. Martens considering they are so versatile. I can pair the archetype marching with a pair of vassalage pants or the knee-high marching with a skater skirt," she says, subtracting that her favorite song to get ready to at the moment is "You Don't Get to Hate Me" by Steve Aoki ft. Goody Grace.
Reflecting on her Waddle the Runway performance, Lavigne adds that, in wing to wearing a rocking outfit, the crowd's energy is what unchangingly makes her finger pumped to put on a show. "One of my favorite songs to perform off ['Love Sux'] is 'Bite Me' considering everyone in the regulars screams the lyrics of the song when to me," she says. "I am [also] excited for the fall to release some new music and finish up my year of touring in Japan." With her tome tour in full swing, Lavigne can't wait to release some new music and perform internationally then in one badass squint without another.
