When you click through the links embedded in our articles, Future and its syndication partners may reap a commission. Their melodies may diverge and their artistic visions clash, yet there exists a solitary thread that binds all pop stars together—be it Cher and Megan Thee Stallion, or Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, and Olivia Rodrigo. This common denominator? The iconic pop star bodysuit.
Irrespective of their musical genre, niche market, or loyal fanbase, female pop stars are not merely expected but mandated, it seems, to take the stage at least once adorned in an embellished bodysuit. Beyoncé donned one for her historic Super Bowl halftime show (and its festive Christmas counterpart), while Ariana Grande made the one-piece the defining fashion statement of her entire 'My Everything' era. And just over the weekend, Rodrigo gracefully joined this esteemed ranks, embracing this iconic look for a monumental milestone in her own career.
On March 23rd, the vocal powerhouse behind "good 4 u" ignited the festival season with a captivating performance at Lollapalooza Chile. This concert marked Rodrigo's debut as a headliner, making her choice of attire—the unofficial uniform of pop stars—a ritual of passage in itself.
Clad in her beloved Doc Martens, the beloved pop-punk princess donned a Ludovic de Saint Sernin bodysuit crafted from luxurious crimson leather. Reflective of Rodrigo's signature stage presence, which revolves around bespoke lingerie, this piece showcased boudoir-inspired elements such as lace-up stitching and bustier-style bra cups. At the hips, two solitary straps danced suggestively, echoing Hollywood's bold thong fashion. Unsurprisingly, searches for "red bodysuit" soared on Google moments after.
Though tailor-made for Rodrigo, this statement piece will undoubtedly evoke nostalgia among fashion-conscious celebrities and fans alike. Kim Kardashian and her daughter Chicago West sported matching dress versions of Rodrigo's one-piece during the holidays. Their outfits, too, featured the designer's signature crisscross lacing and the same enchanting ruby hue.
In essence, Rodrigo's outfit paid homage to more than just one legend.
