Olivia Rodrigo’s Onstage Comeback Look Is Dominatrix-Coded
Even though Olivia Rodrigo hasn’t dropped new music in a while, her recent onstage comeback might be an indication that her new era is coming sooner than we think. While the pop star has always been known for her edgy feminine aesthetic, she seemingly reinvented herself yet again while headlining at Lollapalooza Chile. Instead of donning the glittery ensembles she frequented during The Guts Tour, Olivia wore a dominatrix-coded red leather bodysuit adorned with silver details.
Although fans were shocked by this new look, Olivia has been inching towards a darker aesthetic for a while now. Her recent red carpet looks have all leaned more mature, with black and red dominating her color palette and body-hugging silhouettes being the focal point of most of her ensembles. If nothing else, her BDSM-inspired Lollapalooza look is only more evidence that Olivia is maturing both artistically and aesthetically. We’re bound to see way more sexy looks from her, especially given all of her upcoming performances.
Naturally, Olivia’s red leather bodysuit sent fans spiraling. While commenters already began to wonder what the outfit symbolized for her long-awaited third album, it also led to tons of internet trolls criticizing the provocative look. Olivia has always championed the bold rockstar style, but this look is no doubt a stark contrast to some of her more PG ensembles. No matter what your personal opinions are, a recent post from Olivia gave us a sneak peek of what seems like more performance looks—and spoiler alert, you better get used to the dominatrix vibes.
Even though Olivia’s bodysuit seems like an extreme departure from her usual performance outfits, kink-inspired looks are becoming more and more common among the it girls. Tons of stars (including Anya Taylor-Joy) have been experimenting with kink fashion recently, and it only makes sense that Olivia would put her twist on the trend just in time for her brand new era. No one knows for sure when we’ll get another Olivia Rodrigo album, but at least she has something up her sleeve—even if it’s just new outfits.
