Olivia Rodrigo demonstrated her status as pop culture’s princess on Friday night at the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball by drawing attention with her eye-catching metallic minidress.
Even though she performed on stage alongside Niall Horan and Sabrina Carpenter—who is rumored to be her love rival—the 20-year-old made sure that she stole the show at the star-studded event with her stylish makeover.
The former Disney star, who was well-known for her grunge-inspired style and plaid skirts, caught eyes on the red carpet when she wore a striking metallic minidress.
Olivia Rodrigo, pop culture’s princess
Olivia went with simple accessories, giving a nod to her signature grunge style by matching her eye-catching dress with chunky knee-high Doc Marten boots. She opted for simple jewelry, with only large rings adorning her fingers.
Her long waves of signature brunette hair matched her black-painted nails. Glossy lips and a flicked eyeliner finished the look, making it appear understated but powerful.
On the other hand, Sabrina Carpenter, who is supposedly the inspiration behind Olivia’s heartbreak hit song “Driver’s License,” went all out with a fun Santa costume. The blonde singer showed off a clear contrast in style between the two musicians as she wore a red dress with a heart cutout and fluff trimmings.
She accessorized it with long, fluffy gloves, glittering white boots, and knee-high boots.
Olivia Rodrigo garnered great love for her look
Fans praised Olivia’s look in large numbers, posting their appreciation on social media. “God, she’s beautiful,” exclaimed one fan, and “Her beauty is beyond words,” said another.
The sight of Olivia and Niall encouraging one another at the concert delighted a lot of fans. Videos from the event showed Olivia belting out “Slow Hands,” a hit song by Niall, and people noticed that Niall lingered to watch Olivia’s set after his performance.
She performed several hits, including “Get Him Back,” “Déjà vu,” and “Vampire.” Olivia has had a busy week. She announced with excitement that she would be performing on Saturday Night Live, which Adam Driver would be hosting.
Olivia excitedly posted on Instagram, “YAYYYYYYY CAN’T WAIT,” and her fans enthusiastically echoed her enthusiasm.
Olivia Rodrigo loves sharing candid moments with her fans
Olivia Rodrigo shares candid photos of herself with her 35 million Instagram followers, and a lot of people were excited about her most recent post.
The 20-year-old singer-songwriter revealed some raw footage from her camera roll, which included an attention-grabbing outfit choice. The caption for the photo said, “In the trees, in the breeze.”
A picture of an apple pie and a microphone pack with a locket containing images of Kim Cattrall as Samantha Jones from Sex and the City were among the pictures.
Fans thought the caption about the trees and breeze was funny, and the lighthearted tone was reflected in their comments. Funny comments were left by others, such as “I’m actually quite the tree and breeze guy myself,” and “I went outside today and didn’t see you in the trees or the breeze… so sad.”
Some made wacky suggestions, such as calling her upcoming album “TREE” or adopting the “cottage core” way of life. Her attire, which she described as an off-white, flowing dress with a billowing skirt and black boots, was also praised by many fans, who were thrilled that she chose to be a Samantha fan.
The “Driver’s License” singer gave fans another thrilling update shortly after this one, revealing that she will be returning to Rockefeller in December.
Olivia will close out the year with a bang when she performs as one of Saturday Night Live’s musical guests on December 9th, alongside host Adam Driver, who will be seen in the upcoming biopic Ferrari. She made her SNL stage debut in May 2021, making this her second appearance.
Notably, she released her sophomore studio album, Guts, after this performance. A week before her debut album, SOUR, was released, she debuted the song “Good 4 U” on Saturday Night Live.
It went on to become her second number-one single.
