At first I really thought this was going to be Lady Gaga, going through some kind of Roxette phase.
Then I realized, a) Robyn is Swedish; b) Roxette is also Swedish; c) Roxette is not a phase; it’s for life. Then it all made sense. I still didn’t LIKE it — a shower curtain plus leggings plus boots, though it may LOOK like you are about to hop astride a horned steed and ride into battle on Planet Unicorn, does not an outfit make — but it made sense.

Planet Unicorn? I want to go!
Robyn’s “Cobrastyle” cover is so awesome, but this beige crotch mosquito netting is putting me to sleep.
Comparing this to her outfit for her “call your girlfriend” musicvideo, it indeed seems a bit bland.
Also, it’s a must watch music video.
OMG YES! Fug Girls, if you haven’t seen what she’s wearing in that video, GO WATCH IT NOW. As for this outfit…I’ll just say I applaud her for bringing out some cleavage. And her lipstick looks nice.
ICK!
“Roxette is not a phase; it’s for life” – oh, one of the best lines I have ever read on this website. You ladies always make me laugh!
At least her lipstick if fab!
Robyn don’t know nothin’ ’bout no unicorns, she’s all about the cameltoe.
Roxette = instagiggle
Lady Gaga wouldn’t have worn the leggings.
the problem here is that robyn is soo incredibly cool that its totally fine for her to look like this. its just kind of her thing.
but then again, im swedish.
The thing about Robyn is, the clothes are incidental. She’s a very good singer who writes and performs really emotionally gripping yet insanely catchy pop songs, and she dresses on the silly side, but not in a way that it seems like you’re supposed to really care what she’s wearing, because she’s not about that. She just wants you to sing along to her songs and dance while you cry over your broken heart. Until you’ve danced so much that you managed to get over it. I love Robyn beyond words, so I, for the most part, try to ignore how fugly her clothes can be, sometimes. It’s the same relationship that I have with Solange Knowles, who is also a fantastic and underrated singer/songwriter and a frequently terrible dresser.
I feel like… anyone who knowingly wears this, on purpose, in public, to be photographed, by definition cares about what she’s wearing and expects you to notice it. I’m not saying that makes her any less talented, but I don’t for one second think she believes this outfit is just incidental.
What an unusual, squashing boob shelf, held in place with electrician’s tape. I am strangely grateful for the leggin’s. At least they are not lace-trimmed spanky pants.
Planet Unicorn, heeeeeeey…
“It must’ve been loooove, but it’s over noooow….” Had the cassingle, baby.
I had the Pretty Woman soundtrack on tape and I think that song was on there. Loved it!
Jenny said “cassingle”! I die.
“She says hello, you fool, I love youuuuu! C’mon join the joyriiiiiiiide….”
Yep, Roxette must be for life, since that song popped into my brain after some 2 decades of neglect. And now it’s gonna take days to get it out.
I love her music. I also love that hoodie she wore with the wings on the head. I hate this. Robyn, come back to me.
She should cover Roxette’s “It must have been love” and rename it “It must have been FUG”! That outfit is TRAGIC!
Please don’t ever let Roxette come back.
I just want to go on the record to say that Robyn dressing like Gaga makes me want to cheer and clap because I am crazy in love with both of them and I love it when women are about expressing whatever weirdness is going on in their brilliant minds rather than thinking about trivial, arbitrary shiz like “what flatters me?”. But maybe I’m just a feminazi

I’m with you AB! Robyn can do no wrong, the more nuts/expressive/non-generic/non-’sexy’ the outfits the better.
I have never seen this person before in my life – but oddly enough, I like this look ON HER. Nobody else – just HER. I find myself agreeing with Annabeth on this one. She is really WORKING it, from head to toe, including the very geometric haircut and glasses. Maybe it’s the attitude more than anything else. Would I call this fugly? Actually no, I wouldn’t. I’m looking at this and thinking she’s in the same league as SWINTON on the one hand, and Hans and Dieter from SNL’s “Sprockets” on the other. (I’m actually surprised she’s not German.) And if this is minor league for her, then I definitely need to check out her videos as other folks have recommended.
She’s awesome and I love her. That is all.
I totally have tickets for Roxette’s world tour next year. That’s right, they’re coming BACK!
She’s got the look . . . NOT. However, I’m pleasantly pleased to see she has a very healthy body under that barf-inducing get up.
Tjejer, i Sverige är det vinter nu och det är jävligt kallt, och du måste bära dina långkalsonger under din duschdraperi, och om du ta av dig solglasögonen, kommer du bara bli besviken av den fullständiga brist av sol! Eller hur?!
Well, that’s easy for YOU to say.
Annie Lennox crossed with Irma Prunesqualler? In a shower curtain…?
