Before Olivia Rodrigo became a Grammy-winning singer whose relatable lyrics and sensitivity broke our hearts, she was a young actress who became known for her role as Nini in the hit Disney+ show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, before a send off in season 3.
2021's Sour, her ground-breaking debut album, spent five weeks at the top of the weekly Billboard 200 in June and July 2021 and gave rise to two Hot 100 No. 1 singles in "Drivers License" and "Good 4 U." The album set came in at No. 2 on the year-end Billboard 200 Albums list in 2021, while the year-end Hot 100 Singles chart places them at Nos. 5 and 8. Not so bad if you ask us.
Moreover, Rodrigo topped the lists for Billboard's Hot 100 Artists, Hot 100 Songwriters, Billboard Global 200 Artists, Streaming Songs Artists, Pop Airplay Artists, and Billboard Canada's Hot 100 Artists at the end of 2021. At the 2022 Billboard Women in Music ceremony, she received the Woman of the Year award.
She has also always been fashionable in addition to being talented. Like many celebrities, Rodrigo used to play around with her outfits before finally settling on the envious punk rock meets Y2K ensembles she wears on red carpets, in interviews, onstage, and elsewhere. She tried everything, from patterned mini dresses to chic jumpsuits. And her jewelry, is certainly not like what we see from some stars, like Zandaya with her Bvlgari diamonds or Emma Chamberlain with her Cartier. But it's representative of her, and that's why we love it!
In the fashion world, what goes around, comes around. We are fortunate that the Y2K feeling has returned for 2023. The jewelry of the early 2000s reflected the vibrant confidence of the exciting turn of the century era. It was a period when daisies, cheerful faces, and bold, oversized clothing were all the rage.
This optimism couldn't have arrived at a better moment given the last few years we just had. With the resurgence of Y2K fashion, we can once again relive that time and embrace its bold and playful aesthetic. From chunky necklaces to colorful bracelets, the early 2000s jewelry trend is back in full force and ready to add some fun to our wardrobes.
Several of this season's most popular jewelry trends appear like they could have come right out of Teen Magazine, from whimsical plastic rings to choker necklaces and stacking bracelets up your wrists. It was an exciting time, because it seemed that no matter what you wore for jewelry, it was fun and had a playful, childlike feel to it.
You felt pretty and special, which is how we all deserve to feel. The fashion trends of that time were all about self-expression and individuality, and jewelry was no exception. People were encouraged to mix and match different pieces, creating unique combinations that reflected their personalities. It was a time when fashion was truly fun and carefree.
Olivia Rodrigo embodies that look and feel better than anyone recently. From the Grammys to the American Music Awards to performing on stage, we see her energy match her look, and it's vibrant, bold, and colorful—just like her style. She isn't afraid to experiment with her wardrobe. She frequently combines Y2K items, high-end clothing, and huge platform heels to create a playful and distinctive look.
