Olivia Rodrigo stuns fans with her look at Lollapalooza Chile 2025
Singer-songwriter and actress Olivia Rodrigo left her fans awestruck with her latest look at Lollapalooza Chile 2025. She stunned everyone with her eye-catching outfit at the 2025 edition of the festival in Santiago, held at Parque Bicentenario de Cerrillos. She wore an edgy red leather bodysuit, complete with lacing and cut-out sections, reported People. Her latest look left fans thinking that her current appearance will "go down in history as one of the best outfits she's ever worn". Rodrigo had a couple of onstage surprises. During the performance, which included hits like Drivers License, Vampire, and Deja Vu, Rodrigo did a cover of No Doubt's 1995 blockbuster Don't Speak for the first time. "This next one is one of my favorite songs that I didn't write," Rodrigo said ahead of the performance. "I'm very jealous of the people who wrote it, because I think it's amazing. If you know it, sing along." Lollapalooza Chile continues through the weekend, with additional headliners, including Justin Timberlake, Alanis Morissette, and Shawn Mendes. Rodrigo's next performance in the US is on June 7 when she headlines the Governors Ball Music Festival in New York City, with a string of additional tour and festival gigs throughout the summer and beyond, according to People.
