Olivia Rodrigo is evidently blossoming as much in her artistry as in her glamorous personal style.

The GRAMMY Award-winning singer made her awaited entrance to her second-ever Met Gala wearing a sparkling lavender gown by Versace featuring off-the-shoulder straps and sheer gloves, complete with matching lavender butterfly adornments worn throughout her hair. She topped off the glistening look with a simple necklace and dangling earrings.

The eye-catching ensemble, Olivia says, was "inspired by the opulence of the Gilded Age." And the look also diverged from her darker, edgier number from last year's event. At the 2021 Met Gala, the singer looked rocker-chic in a black netted lace Saint Laurent jumpsuit featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline coated with feathers. Her makeup, courtesy of Molly Greenwald, featured an understated floating-crease eyeliner look that elevated the ensemble's elegance while still maintaining its overall edge.

“I think it’s really fun that I’m not wearing a dress to my first Met,” she said during the event. "I just think it looks so rock ‘n’ roll and yet so sophisticated

Aside from her carpet appearances, the singer has otherwise been basking in her recent wins as an artist. In early April, the singer took home nearly all the awards at the 64th Annual GRAMMYS, including those for Best New Artist, Pop Vocal Album, Pop Solo Performance and Music Video. The multiple honors come thanks to her May 2021 album, Sour, which topped the Billboard charts for a total of five weeks.

The singer previously opened up to People about her creative process behind the album, and the ways in which it both reflected and impacted her personal growth. "The process of making Sour, and putting it out in the world really challenged me, and I've grown so much, and I've learned so much more about myself," she said in April. "I definitely feel like I am a more confident person today because of it."

"I chose not to do any bonus tracks or special editions because Sour just felt like such a distinct era in my life, and I felt like I wanted to give the songs and album time to breathe," she added. "I'm excited to create a new era of my music. I really like the way the album existed as a body of work."
