Zara Larsson reveals her 'dream' next step as new album Midnight Sun gets rave reviews

Zara Larsson, known for her hit singles, Lush Life and Never Forget You, and a successful music career spanning 17 years, has shared what her ultimate dream would be.

The singer-songwriter has opened up for Tate McRae's North American tour and wowed people with her stage presence, vocals, and dancing abilities, but despite all her successes, she says her dream is for people to start dressing up as her for Halloween.

The Swedish singer-songwriter spoke toW Magazine about her fifth album, Midnight Sun and her new lingerie brand, Main Rose. When speaking about her looks on tour she said: "It’s all custom. We worked with so many different designers, and a lot of them are up-and-coming.

"I want to be comfy on stage, of course. I dance a lot, so I don’t want things that are going to get in the way. We’re going for a vibe of very summery, very glittery, fun, and colourful. It's kind of stepping into a bit of Barbie world."

She added: "My dream is to have people dressing up as me for Halloween. I want my brand identity to be so strong that there is a look or silhouette that people see and think, “That’s Zara Larsson.” That’s my dream. "

It comes after she made a splash at the MTV Video Music Awards earlier this year, arriving in a sheer, glittering outfit that left little to the imagination.

Larsson stepped onto the red carpet wearing a translucent, flower-adorned mini dress with dangling crystals. She did not wear a bra, revealing matching sheer bottoms underneath. The look, completed with orange strappy heels and oversized flower clips in her hair, drew immediate comparisons to Bianca Censori’s daring fashion choices and Paris Hilton’s early-2000s red carpet era.

The outfit quickly sparked debate on social media. “Zara Larsson just brought the glam. Can’t wait to see her slay the VMAs red carpet,” one user posted.

“Wow, really, that’s how she's going to dress,” one tweet read, with another bluntly asking, “What is she wearing?”

Another added, "Looks like she’s ready to steal the show! Let’s hope her performance is as good as her red carpet game—nothing worse than a fab outfit and a flat song, eh?"

Some fans praised the bold style, with one writing, “Omg she is stunning,” while another commented, “VMAs bringing the action!!” But criticism was widespread, with users calling the look “one gag,” “attention-seeking,” and “not Paris Hilton.”
