Australian singer and online meme sensation Troye Sivan made a bold fashion statement during his performance in London for the “Something to Give Each Other” tour. The “Rush” singer chose a controversial look from Seán McGirr’s first collection for Alexander McQueen, which has sparked mixed reactions among industry critics, retailers, and online spectators.
Sivan’s outfit featured a sparkly, smashed-glass-effect top with pronounced shoulders, straight from the fall 2024 runway. Originally paired with leather pants, Sivan opted for matching trousers that were not shown in Paris, adding his unique twist to the ensemble.
Later in the show, Sivan switched to a more casual and dance-friendly custom look by Av Vattev. This outfit included a harness-inspired tank top and washed-effect trousers detailed with layers of stitched laces and hanging belts. The look is based on Vattev’s spring 2025 collection, which draws inspiration from the homoeroticism of worker’s apparel.
With items from the fall 2024 season hitting stores soon, McQueen has been steadily mapping out its new identity through celebrity dressing. Model Amelia Gray sported a twisted dress in tartan wool and a leather bag, both designed by McGirr for fall 2024, during Couture Fashion Week in Paris. The brand has also been present at high-profile film premieres, dressing Victor Alli for the “Bridgerton” Season Three London bash and Ewan Mitchell, who plays Prince Aemond Targaryen in “House of the Dragon,” in a rust velvet coat with wrapped jeans for the premiere of Season Two.
Troye Sivan’s younger brother, Tyde Levi, recently reflected on giving “bi vibes” after a video of him raiding the “Rush” singer’s closet went viral. In the clip, Tyde humorously commented on enjoying access to Troye’s wardrobe while he was away. The video led to social media users speculating about Tyde’s sexuality, which he addressed with humor, stating, “I’m not bi – sorry if I let you down,” echoing a famous Charli XCX video.
Tyde, also a musician, has songs like “AAA” and “Goldchains” that have garnered millions of streams on Spotify. He announced that his debut album is due soon, adding to the musical legacy of the Sivan family.
Troye Sivan’s performance at the AO Arena in Manchester was a testament to his star quality. The “Something to Give Each Other” tour, which Troye described as a live show imagined as a party, delivered on its promise. In a tight one-hour and fifteen-minute set, Sivan created an atmosphere of sweat, energy, and euphoria.
Songs like “Got Me Started” and “My My My!” had the audience in full rave mode, while slower, more emotional moments came with tracks like “Dance to This” and “Supernatural.” The focus was on the “Something to Give Each Other” album, with standout moments like “One of Your Girls” showcasing Troye’s ability to sing, dance, and rally the crowd simultaneously.
Despite the compact set list, the show left fans wanting more. Troye’s performance was a spectacle, but some felt it could have benefited from a larger stage. The encore featured a loud and full-throttle rendition of “Rush,” leaving the audience exhilarated and intoxicated by the experience.
Troye Sivan’s tour continues to captivate audiences, proving that he is an artist who can do it all – from creating a party atmosphere to delivering heartfelt performances. His choice of fashion, particularly the controversial McQueen look, adds another layer to his dynamic stage presence.
