From Naked Wolfe Platforms to Giuseppe Zanotti Wedges: Olivia Rodrigo’s Sky-High Style Evolution

Whether she is channeling Y2K pop-punk or high-fashion glamour, Olivia Rodrigo has solidified a signature look defined by sky-high proportions.

In February 2022, during the peak of her Sour era in Los Angeles, the singer celebrated her 19th birthday by leaning into her “Gutsy” feminine aesthetic, pairing a vintage-inspired No Dress ensemble with a subtle nod to Lorde.

For the celebration shared on Instagram, the “Drivers License” singer wore a rosy print long skirt and camisole set, accessorized with a “Birthday Girl” cowboy hat and towering Naked Wolfe “Jackie” pumps. These black silk satin platforms—featuring the brand’s custom angular heel and signature diamond buckle—provided a height-boosting edge to her celebratory pink look.

Earlier that month, Olivia took home the International Song of the Year Award for Good 4 U at the Brit Awards.

Slaying the red carpet, the 2022 Billboard Woman of the Year arrived in a show-stopping silver gown from Alexandre Vauthier’s Spring 2022 Couture collection.

The dress was made entirely of mirrored silver sequins and featured a daring cowl neckline, thin spaghetti straps, and an asymmetric hem.

Olivia styled her figure-flattering gown with a selection of silver jewelry. She accessorized with a set of rings from Djula, Poche Jewelry, and Stefere, and added a pair of Stefere Cross long drop earrings and an Eéra Sabrina 18Kt white gold ear cuff with diamonds, which you could buy for $2,605 at Mytheresa.

Beauty-wise, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series star styled her long black tresses in sultry waves with a middle parting and wore winged eyeliner, silver eyeshadow, and dark nude lip color.

To tie her look together, Olivia painted her nails black, which matched her black Giuseppe Zanotti “Pris” sandals. She also wore the Italian shoe designer’s 6-inch Bebe platform sandals while attending an event at the White House.
