The 2024 Grammy Awards red carpet was an exceptional display of fashion and trends, and Olivia Rodrigo didn’t shy away from making a statement with her stunning dress.
The American artist, who already had three Grammy Awards, was up for six more statuettes this year, including the coveted Best Album, song, and Recording of the Year awards.
Although she didn’t win any of the awards, her dress stood out as one of the most stylish choices of the night. Not only was it an ultra-sophisticated and flattering piece of clothing, but it was also full of symbolism and meaning. The dress was designed to tell a story, which made it all the more special. Olivia’s sartorial choice reflected her artistic vision and commitment to making a statement with her art.
Olivia rocked the vintage Versace dress that Linda Evangelista had already worn in Milan during the brand’s spring/summer 1995 collection. Her hairstylist, Clayton Hawkins, created something classic for Rodrigo’s Old Hollywood-inspired look. “For Olivia’s Grammys glam, we wanted to do something classic that would stand the test of time,” the expert revealed. “Olivia is known for her long cascading waves, but today, we just wanted to amp it up in an old Hollywood direction.”
The Dyson ambassador started the hair styling process by applying a volumizing mousse to Olivia’s wet hair, focusing on her roots. Then, he used the Supersonic hair dryer on medium heat to blow dry her hair. He then blows out and curls Olivia’s mohawk section to add more volume, then sets her hair in a velcro roller away from the face. He waved her hair uniformly, going away from her face. After each section, Clayton sprayed a generous amount of extra-hold hairspray. Once all of the hair was waved, he let down the velcro roller and brushed out all of the hair using a tooth comb.
