Olivia Rodrigo Speaks Out on Babydoll Dress Controversy, Explains Why It Made Her ‘So Upset’
Olivia Rodrigo is addressing the backlash she received for wearing babydoll dresses for her new album promo.
The 23-year-old singer wore a babydoll dress in her “Drop Dead” music video and another one while performing at the Spotify concert in Spain recently.
Olivia is slamming people for sexualizing the outfit.
“That’s been making me so upset,” Olivia told Popcast. “Not even for me. People can say whatever they want. What’s really disturbing is I have worn outfits that are maybe revealing on stage. I’ve been on stage in a sparkly bra and little shorts, which is my right, that’s fun, I felt cool and comfortable in that. And like that wasn’t inappropriate, but me fully covered up in a dress that people deemed to be childlike was inappropriate.”
She added that “it shows how we really normalize pedophilia in our culture. Also it’s just this rhetoric we’re fed as girls since we’re so little, which is, don’t wear that because then a man is going to sexualize your body and it’s your fault. It’s so weird.”
“I didn’t think that I looked sexy in that at all,” Olivia added. “I was like, this is so cool. I feel I look like Kathleen Hanna or Courtney Love, all these people who are my heroes, and I felt cool and comfortable in it. I just think if we start dressing in a way that’s like, ‘I don’t want some f–king freak to think that I’m sexy like a baby’ or some crazy thing like that, I think it’s losing the plot a little bit. I’m just very protective of younger women, girls, and I don’t ever want them to be fed that rhetoric.”
Olivia was just spotted in New York City filming a secret project.
