The Royals hitmaker is known for ditching a glitzy frock in favour of a more simple pantssuit or laid-back ensemble.

Her slender figure was hidden from view, as she sported baggy trousers that gathered around her ankles and a suit jacker that covered her hands.

The design had a partial pinstripe, while the trousers waist was held up by a long material belt fastened through a circular metal clasp.

Lorde opened up about her sometimes androgynous fashion choices to Vogue Australia in 2015, revealing she's not afraid to be daring and even buys men's clothes if she likes the look of them.

'I do love a perfect pair of pants, the perfect collared shirt, and I wear sneakers, heavy shoes... often I'll buy a pair of men's pants or whatever. I don't discriminate in that way,' she said at the time.

'I needed to just go away, go home to New Zealand, and hang out by myself and figure out what I was going to do next,' she said.

'I knew I couldn't make the same thing again, and I had to figure out what it was that I wanted to say. And I'm so glad I took that time, because this record is the coolest thing I've ever made.'
