Olivia Rodrigo went all out for her first VMAs appearance — to the point that I almost didn’t recognize her. For her 2021 VMAs look, Rodrigo wore a floor-length, strapless, red-and-pink gown. It was a bold choice, but similar to her 2020 Brit Awards dress, Rodrigo didn’t shy away from standing out, and it absolutely paid off.

Rodrigo’s dress captures her out-of-the-box fashion sense, mixing a classic silhouette with more fun draping and other elements. You truly cannot pin her down to one aesthetic; she’s always keeping fans guessing.

Rodrigo’s 2021 VMAs dress, more specifically, boasted a straight, strapless neckline and broad dark pink stripes — made from strategic draping — across the length of the dress.

Her dress hugs her body with a cute, mermaid-style flair at the bottom. The look is timeless as can be, while the sheer draping gives it a modern, almost psychedelic feel.

Don’t miss the corset detail on the back of Rodrigo’s 2021 VMAs dress. It adds a touch of the trendy regencycore aesthetic and reveals the impressive boning making up the gown.

For her makeup, Rodrigo stuck with her classic, bronzy-look. Her beloved smoked-out winged eyeliner adds an edge to the romantic look, as does her bold berry lip that matches her dress.

Rodrigo’s love of butterflies also made a red carpet appearance. Three large purple butterflies dangle from each of her ears, making up her only jewelry for her VMAs look.

Wearing red to a red carpet is a tale as old as time (kind of), but Rodrigo’s gown is definitely one for the books. The draping truly takes this peachy gown and turns it into a memorable VMAs moment.
