Olivia Rodrigo Turns Up the Heat in Striking Metallic Gold Slip Dress While Teasing Next Musical Era

Olivia Rodrigo showcased her cool-girl charm and star power in a new Instagram photo carousel shared on Tuesday, November 18.

The singer and songwriter, 22, gave followers a mix of cozy, glamorous and behind-the-scenes moments, starting with a snap of herself inside a recording studio wearing a frilly white blouse while sporting headphones and a playful pout. The casual, makeup-free photo instantly sparked speculation in the comments about her next project, with fans hinting that OR3, her anticipated third studio album, might be on the way.

In a sharp contrast, Rodrigo turned up the heat in the next series of photos, where she posed in a striking gold metallic slip dress that clung to her frame. The slinky, crinkled fabric and minimalist spaghetti straps added a retro-glam feel as she posed confidently in front of a mirror, letting her long brunette hair flow naturally over her shoulders.

The carousel also included a scenic outdoor shot, with Rodrigo smiling beneath towering trees in a laid-back outfit, a white long-sleeve top, gray jeans and a sweater tied around her waist, showing off her down-to-earth side.

Her caption, a simple “november” followed by rainbow emojis, left fans guessing about hidden meanings, while comments from fellow artists and friends like Conan Gray fueled excitement about her return to the studio:
