Olivia Rodrigo'S Glam Night Out: Skips Emmys Red Carpet For After-Party Extravaganza

Olivia Rodrigo's Surprise Appearance

The 2025 Emmys may have had its fair share of surprises, but none quite like the after-hours twist when Olivia Rodrigo decided to skip the red carpet and hit the after-parties instead. The singer, who's been off the TV radar since 2022 after exiting "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series," made a stylish comeback at the post-Emmy celebrations in Los Angeles.

Rodrigo swapped the typical award show glam for a chic little black dress that screamed her 2000s-inspired aesthetic. The babydoll silhouette, complete with short puff sleeves, was a nod to Gen Z's nostalgic fashion trends. Her look was completed with a tiny bow under a scooped U-neck and a loosely pleated skirt perfect for twirling.

“Olivia Rodrigo's after-party look was a delightful nod to the early 2000s, capturing the essence of youthful elegance,” a fashion insider noted.

Party-Hopping in Style

Rodrigo kicked off her night at Jas Mathur's exclusive post-Emmys bash, warmly welcomed by Rita Ora. She then made her way to Vas Morgan's party at his L.A. home. Known for his star-studded Halloween bashes, Morgan's party was another stop in Rodrigo's glamorous night out.

The singer's choice of footwear was a departure from her usual style. She rocked Mary Jane-inspired pumps, joining fellow musicians like Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande in reviving the retro shoe trend. Her minimalistic jewelry and a sophisticated leather shoulder purse from JW Anderson added a touch of elegance.

A Night to Remember

The night didn't end there. Rodrigo's final stop was at the San Vicente Bungalows for HBO Max's Emmys celebration. There, she reunited with close friend Iris Apatow, who matched Rodrigo's vibe in a similar little black dress. Apatow's vintage Chanel bag added a pop of color to her ensemble.

The pair posed for photos inside the West Hollywood club, sparking speculation about Rodrigo's potential return to acting. Could this be a hint at a guest star role on "Hacks" Season 5? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure – Olivia Rodrigo knows how to make a memorable entrance.
