Inside Suki Waterhouse's Retro Roxy Residency

Suki Waterhouse knows a thing or two about classics: when it comes to vintage style, timeless looks (that pout and '70s shag cut — not to mention her role as rock icon, Karen Sirko, on Amazon’s Daisy Jones & The Six), and even venues.

Last September, she released Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, another romp into her enchanting voice and retro, ethereal rock sound. In honor of that release, what better place to play three sold-out shows than one of LA's most iconic venues, The Roxy.

"The Roxy is such a cute venue," Waterhouse says. "The backstage area is kind of like a time machine with photos of past artists who have played there."

Following last week's drop of her new cinematic single "Dream Woman," and ahead of tour stops in Austin, Salt Lake City and the UK, Waterhouse decided to take PAPER backstage. Below, get a behind-the-scenes glance at her three-night stand, narrated by the "Dream Woman" herself.

A moment from soundcheck. I love the mirror balls that were scattered all over the stage, great foot rests.

  

We brought the Sparklemuffin forest and the Sparklemuffin vibe to The Roxy. Of course, a smaller version but a very sparkly version.

Night two was my favorite look. This beaded top was everything.

  

I wanted "My Fun" to feel as fun as possible, and what is more fun than beach balls? It was so cold and rainy on the last night, but for that song it felt like summer. I’m so sorry to everyone who got hit in the face with one of those.

Every night on tour last fall, I invited someone onstage for my song "Johanna." For the second night, we had our first-ever in history double Johanna. And our first ever Bro-hanna. Thank you, Cara and Lukas.
