Olivia Rodrigo attends the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures Opening Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on Sept. 25, 2021 in Los Angeles.
Matt Winkelmeyer/WireImageOlivia Rodrigo took a daring plunge with her latest gala ensemble, a sophisticated black evening gown with a dramatically deep neckline.
Rodrigo was in attendance Saturday night (Sept. 25) to celebrate the anticipated Sept. 30 opening of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Lady Gaga, Cher, Jennifer Hudson and Katy Perry were among the other music stars (joining a list of notable actors, filmmakers and more in glamorous style) to make appearances for the unveiling of the movie museum. Gaga performed a set at the gala, which was co-chaired by Ava DuVernay, Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum, Vogue reports.
Rodrigo's dress, according to a report by Vogue, was a Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello design.
The "Good 4 U" singer was recently seen in another chic black choice -- a Saint Laurent lace bodysuit with an off-the-shoulder ruffle cut -- at the Met Gala on Sept. 13.
"I personally love American punk music, and I think Saint Laurent does a really good job of making punk rock feminine," Rodrigo had said at the Met Gala.

Dua Lipa has described Britney Spears as "an icon".
The Houdini singer also pointed out her personal favorite track from the pop legend.
Dua, 30, said that Britney’s 2003 single Toxic is the song she loves most, sharing that she often plays it every night to relax while spending time on holiday with her extended family.
"You're very silly and giggly and fun and I need to hear 'Toxic' at the end of every single night when I'm feeling like that," she told Vogue Magazine. "It's one of my favourite songs."
The Levitating artist took it even further, calling Toxic "one of the greatest" and saying it has a timeless quality.
"I think it's one of the greatest pop songs ever made," Dua gushed. "It makes me feel nostalgic, but also at the same time, if it came out yesterday, it would be an absolute smash. I love it so much."
She also mentioned that the track’s music video, which shows Britney, 44, as a space-themed flight attendant, played a major role in its appeal.
"The bit that stays in my mind that I remember so well is Britney in a stewardess outfit, and I don't think anyone has been able to make a stewardess outfit look so good," Dua said, before confessing her belief that Britney was "an icon".
"I love Britney so much," she said. "I love everything about her, all her songs. She's such an icon."
