Olivia Rodrigo once again proved why she’s one of the most exciting stars in music and fashion as she returned to the Grammy Awards in style. The 21-year-old singer-songwriter, a 14-time Grammy nominee, stepped onto the red carpet in a daring, vintage Versace gown that exuded confidence, elegance, and undeniable star power.
Rodrigo chose a stunning high-neck gown from Versace’s Spring-Summer 2001 collection for the evening. Designed with dramatic cutouts at the keyhole, ribcage, and an almost open back, the look embodied sensuality and sophistication. The ensemble was a nod to the early 2000s while still maintaining a fresh, modern appeal. Donatella Versace herself took to Instagram to praise Rodrigo, writing, “You bring so much power and confidence to the Grammy’s red carpet… You are enchanting. I am so honored to have dressed you tonight—enjoy every moment!”
Complementing her striking dress, Rodrigo styled her hair in long, bouncy curls, channeling Old Hollywood glamour with a contemporary edge. She finished off the look with her signature winged eyeliner and a nude lip, letting her natural beauty shine.
The former Disney star, who first made her mark at the Grammys in 2022 with three major wins—including Best New Artist—is back in the spotlight with another prestigious nomination. This year, she’s in the running for Best Song Written for Visual Media for “Can’t Catch Me Now,” her hauntingly beautiful track from The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes soundtrack. In addition to attending the ceremony, Rodrigo will also be presenting an award later in the evening.
Adding to the excitement, Rodrigo arrived at the event with her boyfriend, actor Louis Partridge, best known for his role in Enola Holmes. While the couple was seen walking hand in hand before the ceremony, Rodrigo took to the carpet solo, allowing her fashion moment to take center stage.
Olivia Rodrigo has consistently delivered some of the most memorable fashion moments at the Grammys. In 2022, she captivated audiences in a Vivienne Westwood corseted gown adorned with crystal embellishments, exuding a mix of youthful energy and classic sophistication. After skipping the event in 2023, she returned in 2024 with another stunning vintage Versace piece—a beaded white gown originally worn by supermodel Linda Evangelista on the runway in 1995.
Beyond the Grammys, Rodrigo’s fashion evolution has been a testament to her ever-growing influence. From her GUTS World Tour outfits—including a glam grunge mix of custom Swarovski pieces and Gwen Stefani-inspired throwbacks—to her Netflix concert special, she has continually redefined being a modern pop star.
What’s Next for Olivia Rodrigo?
While Rodrigo is already making waves at the Grammys, her career momentum shows no signs of slowing down. With additional GUTS tour dates scheduled across South America in March, she remains one of the most in-demand performers in the world. Her recent campaign as a global ambassador for Lancôme and her involvement with the Idôle Power fragrance further cement her status as a powerhouse in both music and fashion.
As she continues to make headlines with her music, performances, and fearless sense of style, one thing is clear—Olivia Rodrigo is not just a moment; she’s a movement.
