Olivia Rodrigo has quickly become a highlight of the Met Gala with each appearance. Her first in 2021 introduced her with a sheer black jumpsuit by Yves Saint Laurent, embracing her love for rock ‘n’ roll. This bold ensemble featured an off-the-shoulder cut, feather embroidery, and floral lace, blending elegance with edginess to match her musical tastes.
By 2023, Rodrigo’s style evolved to embrace a more classical glamour, aligning with the Met Gala’s theme honoring Karl Lagerfeld. She appeared in a striking Thom Browne gown, black and white with intricate floral accents at the bust, channeling Old Hollywood vibes. Not to mention, the musician is slated to return to the red carpet for 2024’s event later this month alongside a number of exciting celebrities.
Read on for a detailed exploration of Olivia Rodrigo’s Met Gala looks, from her compelling debut to her latest sophisticated appearances.
In America: A Lexicon of Fashion (2021)
Anyone would think it wasn’t Olivia Rodrigo’s first Met Gala when she attended the event in 2021 wearing a Saint Laurent sheer lace jumpsuit.
The off-shoulder outfit featured a feather-trimmed neckline that was impossible to ignore. For the accessories, she chose diamond dangle earrings, bangles, and a black manicure to pair her ensemble.
Rodrigo’s makeup artist, Molly Greenwald, further accentuated the look by applying a subtle black eyeliner to create a delicate, punk-inspired effect.
In America: An Anthology of Fashion (2022)
How could Olivia Rodrigo’s 2022 Met Gala outfit not remind you of a purple Tinkerbell? Her lavender Versace gown for the evening featured a thigh slit, scoop neckline, and off-shoulder extra straps that made all the difference and gave the dress a sexier kick.
The “driver’s license” singer wore mesh lilac gloves, glittery peep-toe platforms, and chunky heels to match the ensemble. Meanwhile, her accessories included silver drop earrings, a silver chain necklace, and a few silver rings.
She kept her curled long hair down and added purple butterflies on both sides of her head and at the back to keep the magical vibe. For the final touches, Rodrigo glammed up with purple, smoky eyeshadow.
Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty (2023)
Olivia Rodrigo’s third Met Gala outfit showed she can pull off almost any look. So, for the 2023 event that honored Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy, the pop star seemingly channeled Audrey Hepburn.
The Billboard Music Award winner wore a custom black-and-white tweed dress from Thom Browne with various flowers on the front. She accessorized with minimal jewelry, which contributed to the gown’s elegance.
Rodrigo’s makeup for the theme was much simpler than the smoky eyeshadow she typically wears. The artist also put her hair in an updo with micro bangs for the occasion.
