The latest internet drama centering on a woman's outfit is all about Olivia Rodrigo. As she promotes her highly anticipated third album, her signature baby doll dresses have riled people up online, but is it actual outrage, or a case of genius PR rage bait?

This week, Tam and Lucinda are unpacking the fashion psychology behind the headlines, alongside the return of a highly controversial early-2000s shoe that millennials know and love in their little millennial hearts (yes, the Valentino Rockstud is officially back).

Plus, they look at how the tides have completely shifted with secondhand shopping. Vintage has moved from an alternative fallback to the ultimate status symbol, bringing a whole new meaning to "fashion currency." And move over "dopamine dressing", "cortisol dressing" is the new low-impact trend your wardrobe needs right now.

Australian Fashion Week 2026 has wrapped up, and while the runway looks were spectacular, the real magic is how they’re about to transform your everyday wardrobe. This week, Leigh is joined by runway model, journalist and content creator Jessica Vander Leahy, who is delivering all the unfiltered, behind-the-scenes insights from Australian Fashion Week 2026 straight to the pod.

They're discussing the biggest trends on the runway, the best streetwear moments and the exact moment an everyday morning swimmer accidentally walked right into a live fashion show.

Plus, they're also getting real about dressing for a tough economy and how fashion shows like Australian Fashion Week can give us an insight into how we're dealing with the cost-of-living crisis as a Country. Finally, it’s time for Boujie to Budget, where they're debating the wild resurgence of horseshoe jeans and Leigh's $50 buy you need in your cart immediately.

What actually makes someone "stylish"? Is it a massive budget, or is it just knowing which buttons to leave undone? This week, Leigh and Chelsea are back together to decode the 7 habits of truly stylish women—from the "quality over quantity" rule that will save your laundry (and your wallet) to the one "fashion faux pas" that stylish women actually do every single day.

Plus, Chelsea's algorithm is currently a shrine to 90s icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and they’re discussing why Gen Z is suddenly obsessed with her minimalist uniform. They also tackle the "baggy jeans in boots" trend (is it cool or just uncomfortable?) and the faux fur comeback that’s looking more refined this time around.

Chelsea's Boujie: The Frankie Shop Arlise Trench Coat €325.

Leigh's Boujie: Neuw Jonesy Singlet White $69.95
