All eyes were on Olivia Rodrigo as she attended the star-studded premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes in Los Angeles on Monday.
The 20-year-old singer wowed at the event, which took place at the TCL Chinese Theater. She wore a black sequin halter dress that hugged her body and featured pink and purple floral embellishments.
The beauty wore her chocolate brown tresses parted in the middle and styled straight for the evening.
She paired the dress with a pair of black sky-high heels. The star opted for soft glamour, with just a touch of pink blush on her cheeks and bronze eye make-up.
Around the same time as the premiere, the singer released the music video for her ballad Can’t Catch Me Now, the film’s theme song.

He wore a vintage-style white shirt that he left mostly unbuttoned, underneath a black and gold blazer and black pants.
Olivia’s whimsical new music video begins with the singer strumming her guitar in a cottage while wearing a white dress.
“There’s blood on the mountainside/ There’s writing all over the wall/ Our shadows are still dancing/ In every room and every hall,” she sings.
“There’s snow falling over the city/You thought it would be washed away/The bitter taste of my anger/And all the mess you made/Yeah, you think you got away.”
The first verse is then followed by a dreamy chorus in which Olivia sings, “But I’m in the trees, I’m in the wind/My footsteps on the ground/You’ll see my face everywhere/But you can.” “Catch me now.” not.”
“Through the wading grass the months will pass/You’ll feel it everywhere/I’m here, I’m there, I’m everywhere/But you can’t catch me now/No, you can’t catch me now.”
Then Olivia leaves the cabin and wanders through a field.
