Olivia Rodrigo has a thing for Y2K trends. In addition to wearing vintage designs from the millennial decade, the singer has been testing out its hair trends, too. While performing “Good 4 U” at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Rodrigo wore her waist-length hair in loose waves with face-framing baby braids and butterfly clips sprinkled throughout. Earlier in the night, Rodrigo actually wore statement-making butterfly earrings with her vintage Versace gown.
For Rodrigo’s red carpet arrival, celebrity hairstylist Clayton Hawkins kept things sleek and simple, prepping her hair with Matrix’s Total Results A Curl Can Dream Lightweight Oil and creating waves with a one-inch curling iron. Rodrigo’s hair was then parted in the middle and tucked behind her ears. For the prom-aesthetic performance, Hawkins added in the braids and vintage butterfly clips, locking in the look with the Matrix Total Results High Amplify Flexible Hold Hairspray. See the sweet hairstyle switch-up ahead.
