Olivia Rodrigo captivated onlookers in a sheer black polka dot midi dress as she arrived at the Saturday Night Live cast dinner at Lattanzi restaurant in New York City on Tuesday evening. The 23-year-old singer highlighted her toned figure, with black underwear visible beneath the daring ensemble.

Outfit Details and Red Carpet Moment

The striking dress featured white polka dots, a square lace-edged neckline, and fashionable puff sleeves. Rodrigo elevated the look with red stilettos and carried a matching compact handbag. She styled her long brunette hair in loose waves and added a long gold feathered necklace for flair.

In high spirits, she flashed a bright smile to fans outside before security escorted her into the venue.

Upcoming SNL Double Duty

This weekend, Rodrigo takes on hosting and musical guest duties for Season 51 of Saturday Night Live. She joins a select group, including Sabrina Carpenter on October 18, 2025, and Harry Styles on March 14, 2026, who have handled both roles.

Rodrigo first appeared on SNL with a sketch in ‘Tiny A** Bag’ in December 2023. Her debut live performance came at age 18. Reflecting on that experience during an appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show ahead of her 2023 musical guest spot, she shared: “The second time I ever performed in my career was on SNL, and I was 18 years old. It was so incredible, I mean, what an honour, but I was terrified. It’s so late, it’s so live, and I just remember being terrified and being in my dressing room and being like, ‘I don’t know if I deserve to be here, this is terrifying.'”

Recent Coachella Surprise with Addison Rae

Rodrigo recently made a surprise onstage appearance during Addison Rae’s set at Coachella’s second weekend. The duo performed Rae’s 2025 hit ‘Headphones On’ as a duet and Rodrigo’s new single ‘Drop Dead,’ released just a day prior.

Rae, 25, rocked a skimpy hot pink vinyl bra and matching panties, showcasing her abs. Earlier in the set, Maddie Ziegler joined for dance moves. Rodrigo complemented the vibe in a pink leather bra top with a metal-studded bow, slim high-waisted jeans, a pink holster for her in-ear monitor pack, and white heels.

Video footage captured the pair dancing face-to-face, holding hands as they moved into the crowd, gazing into each other’s eyes and touching foreheads. For the intimate ‘Drop Dead,’ they leaned on each other’s shoulders, alternating lyrics after the chorus.

‘Drop Dead’ serves as an advance single from Rodrigo’s forthcoming third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love.
