Olivia Rodrigo's Best Red Carpet Moments Prove She Has Major ‘Guts’

Olivia Rodrigo has been in the spotlight since her pre-teens but it seems that her star is continually on the rise. Though she is most known for her musical prowess, the California-native got her start in acting via kiddie comedy series Bizaardvark. Shortly after, she landed the then biggest role of her young career as Nini Salazar-Roberts in the Disney+ series High School Musical: The Musical: The Series (which she eventually left in 2022 to focus on music.)

In only a few years, Rodrigo has gone from Disney star to reigning pop-punk princess, not only thanks to her critically-acclaimed albums Sour and GUTS, but also due to her unique style sense. On the red carpet, she’s gravitated towards bright, Gen Z styles that are never without an added edge. She’s championed designers both rising and established—from vintage Versace and Miu Miu to Ludovic de Saint Sernin and Fancí Club. Through it all, Rodrigo has cemented herself as one of the most exciting voices in music and fashion. Below, take a look back at Olivia Rodrigo’s best red carpet moments from High School Musical to now.

Naomi Campbell has a unique ability to turn just about every red carpet she steps foot on into her own personal runway. But, for all the galas and premieres the supermodel has attended over the years, her jaw-dropping red-carpet fashion sense takes its best form at the Cannes Film Festival. Since she made her first appearance at the starry event back in 1996, Campbell has managed to bring her signature fashion sense to the Croisette countless times since.

Of course, she’s partnered with top labels like Chanel, Valentino, and Versace. But Campbell has also remained on the cutting edge at Cannes: she was doing the sheer red carpet trend in 2007, before fashion girls hopped on the bandwagon over the past few years, and even sported a teensy, tiny party dress and ab-baring cut-outs on the step and repeat. So, in honor of Naomi Campbell’s history at the Cannes Film Festival, look back at all of her top red carpet moments.
