Advice on life and style from the Australian singer.
Which song do you play to get the party started?
“Crescendolls” by Daft Punk. Maybe it just gets me going, but it definitely works!
You can save only one piece of clothing in your wardrobe, what do you choose?
The pair of vintage Quiksilver jeans I have worn almost every day for years, to the point of it being kind of gross. They fit perfectly: low on the waist, so they’re hot if I’m not wearing a shirt.
What’s an interior design tip that instantly elevates a room?
Fresh flowers. I really like doing a single type, such as tulips or peonies. Then I’ll take one and put it next to my bed.
And where should I look for great furniture?
I can always find something at Smith Street Bazaar in Melbourne.
Name a book that shaped you.
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. It has a level of angst and heartbreak and pain that I have yet to find anywhere else.
How would you spend an ideal day with Ariana Grande?
A movie marathon at one of our houses with the dogs.
Share your beauty routine.
A little bit of Tom Ford Concealer, and I’ve been using The Face Illuminating Self-Tan Drops by Tan-Luxe for bronzer.
Your signature fragrance?
I think of scent as like another wardrobe, so it depends on who I am trying to be. Today, I am beyond obsessed with our next Tsu Lange Yor scent. It’s a floral that smells like the stems, too.
What’s your go-to party outfit?
For a house party, I’m happy to just be in a hoodie—my favorite is Prada.
Which rising designer are you obsessed with right now?
Luar. I wore a little handbag to the Met Gala in 2021 and have been obsessed ever since.
The best way to let someone know I have a crush on them?
Just tell them; communication is very hot.
How do I know when I’m in love?
When it feels like it’s not enough to just say “I really, really, really like you.”
Where do you spend the most time online?
Instagram for moodboarding and inspiration. My explore page is wholesome: interiors or graphic design and typography.
A record you always come back to?
Back to Black by Amy Winehouse. To me, it’s a perfect album.
What’s the secret to making a viral video?
For TikToks, the best ones are off-the-cuff, real, and super casual. For music videos, you can’t predict it. Just make stuff that you like and hope it hits the culture.
Name your biggest vice.
I’m really proud of myself because for a long time it was nicotine, but now I’ve completely quit. Probably my screen time—I would love to kick my phone habit.
Your most prized possession?
My dog, Nash. Is it weird to call him a possession? I paid for him! He’s my sweet boy, my son, and he’s so much fun to be around.
I have 24 hours in Perth, what should I do?
Take lunch to Hyde Park, go for a bike ride around the Swan River, and then watch the sunset on Cottesloe Beach.
Troye Sivan’s European and UK tour runs from May 29 through June 28.
