Can you believe we’ve only had Olivia Rodrigo in our lives for three Grammy seasons? In 2022, a fresh-from-the-FYP Rodrigo took home three awards wearing a face full of Glossier. The next year, she showed up just to show off on the red carpet, wearing a sheer black slip dress, simple makeup, and her long dark hair in its signature sleek, middle-parted style. Now, with her Sophomore album GUTS under her belt and a 21st birthday on the horizon, the Disney alum is ready for another awards season right of passage: a full face and head of old Hollywood-inspired glam.
Appearing on on the 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet on February 4, the six-time nominee and performer premiered an ombré red lip and blink-and-you’ll-miss-it winged black eyeliner. Instead of going grunge (maybe for her performance?), Rodrigo dug into the Versace archives for a vintage cream gown covered in crystals. The story goes that stylist Danielle Goldberg saw the 1995 gown, which was originally worn by Linda Evangelista, and immediately knew it was the one for her classic beauty client.

Aside from a fun lip or sweep of purple shadow, Rodrigo has never been one to over dramatize the red carpet. She likes her hair down and her eyeliner black—and tonight was no exception. This time, her dark brown locks had a sweet curl to them, styled in a side-part and tucked behind one ear. “For Olivia’s Grammys glam, we wanted to do something classic that would stand the test of time,” says her hairstylist, Clayton Hawkins. “The inspo was classic Olivia, with an old Hollywood twist.”
“My Dyson Supersonic blowdryer ($429) was crucial for today,” says Hawkins of the look. “The weather was not on our side so a good foundational blow dry is SUPER important. My Velcro rollers also really came in handy for setting her hair and side part.” He adds that for her perfomance look, he switched her side part to the center so her hair stayed out of her face.
As for makeup—done by Melissa Hernandez—besides the pout (candy apple red in the middle, seamlessly transitioning to a cherry, and then a carmine), the look was typical Rodrigo; I’d know those brows anywhere.

Nail artist Yoko Sakakura tackled her manicure, choosing a pale pink shade for the event. “A perfect all-American Grammys nominee!” wrote the manicurist in her Instagram story.
For a girl who wrote the song "Love is Embarrassing," the look is mighty Valentine-y. You know those vintage cards that always circled on Tumblr? To: the world. Love: Olivia Rodrigo.
