Emma Corrin Goes Head To Head With Clive Owen In The Chilling Trailer For ‘A Murder At The End Of The World’

What would Glass Onion look like if you took out the fun little jokes and set the story in a remote frozen location surrounded by ice and snow? It would probably look something like A Murder At The End Of The World. Or The Thing.

The FX limited series comes from Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij, the duo behind the Netflix fan-favorite The OA. Marling also stars in the series, alongside The Crown’s Emma Corrin, Clive Owen, Harris Dickinson, Alice Braga, and Joan Chen.

Corrin stars as a young amateur detective who is invited to a remote resort hosted by an eclectic billionaire (sound familiar?) and suddenly turns into an ice-cold whodunit. At least Clive Owen has a nicer accent than Daniel Craig’s. Here is the official synopsis:

A Murder at the End of the World is a mystery series featuring a Gen Z amateur sleuth and tech-savvy hacker “Darby Hart.” Darby and eight other guests are invited by a reclusive billionaire to participate in a retreat at a remote location. When one of the other guests is found dead, Darby must use her skills to prove it was murder before the killer takes another life.

The series will feature seven episodes and debut on November 14th. Check out the bone-chilling trailer above.

Paul McCartney Is Watching ‘Better Call Saul,’ So He’s Probably Also Confused Why Rhea Seehorn Hasn’t Won An Emmy

Paul McCartney has just seen a face. Bob Odenkirk’s face, specifically.

The Beatles legend recently revealed that he’s making his way through Better Call Saul, the prequel to Breaking Bad that’s arguably better than the original. In response to a question on his website about what he watches when he’s on tour, McCartney replied, “I just go to ‘New Releases’ and unfortunately they’re not new – I’ve seen most of them! They don’t update them quick enough for me.” He continued, “On car journeys, I watch stuff on my iPad which can be films or series. I’m currently on Better Call Saul and it’s a good one.”

He has to admit Better Call Saul is getting better all the time (even though it’s, uh, over).

If I was given five minutes to interview McCartney about anything I wanted, including the Beatles, Wings, or his cameo on The Simpsons, I would ask him, “Why hasn’t Rhea Seehorn won an Emmy?”

At least there’s still time: the actress, who gave a remarkable performance as Kim Wexler on Better Call Saul, is up for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series against five people from The White Lotus, Gerri from Succession, and The Crown‘s Elizabeth Debicki. Why is she in the supporting category? That would be question number two for Paul.

The Emmy Awards air on January 15, 2024. Macca will be watching.

Chris Christie Says Trump Is Laying In Bed At Night ‘Sick To His Stomach’ Over People Flipping On Him

Chris Christie painted a picture of a sleepless Donald Trump listening to his own stomach churn as he frets over the increasing number of people flipping on him in his increasing number of indictments. The New Jersey governor has been relentlessly hammering Trump for months, and that was still the case during Christie’s interview with CNN’s Dana Bash today.

While discussing the latest development in the indictment over Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida, Christie opined that Trump should expect more people to flip like IT employee Yuscil Taveras. As a prosecutor, Christie doesn’t feel that Taveras’ brokering a deal with prosecutors will specifically “make or break” the government’s case, he did say it will terrify Trump.

Via Mediaite:

Well, two things will happen. One, this man will be vilified, attacked and savaged by Donald Trump publicly. And then secondly, Donald Trump will lay in his bed at night, staring up at the ceiling, trying to remember every conversation he ever had with this guy while he’s sick to his stomach. And this is going to repeat itself, Dana, over and over and over again over the course of the next number of months.

Christie is confident that Trump will see more people flip in the Georgia indictment, but the classified documents indictment could still see some action.

“It’s going to repeat itself in Georgia when some of those co-defendants invariably are going to take a plea and a cooperation deal and will cooperate against Donald Trump,” Christie told Bash. “And it may happen again in this matter, in the federal matters that are pending with folks who are either indicted or unindicted coconspirators.”

50 Cent Made Fun Of Ja Rule’s ‘Stupid’ 2023 BMI R&B/Hip Hop Awards Performance: ‘Look At This Sh*t Head’

50 Cent and Ja Rule‘s beef is relentless. In June, the “Candy Shop” rapper called Ja Rule’s entrance to Nelly’s Hot In Herre Festival “stupid.” A few months before that, Ja Rule was trolled with a 50 Cent song when performing at Power 106.9’s Jingle Jam concert.

The beef continues as of today (September 7). On Instagram, 50 Cent posted a video of Ja Rule’s performance of his 2000 song “One Of Us” at the BMI R&B/Hip Hop Awards on Wednesday night. It’s a religious-inspired set-up with everyone on stage wearing white robes while Ja Rule is tied to a slab of wood. “Look at this sh*t head, is he supposed to be Jesus,” he wrote in the caption. “WTF you can’t make this sh*t up. LOL so stupid!”

When asked about his beef with 50 Cent, Ja Rule explained in 2021, “When the Feds come in they take all your resources,” he said. “They take your money, they make the people that are dealing with you… those ties are severed. Def Jam severed their ties with us, we didn’t have anything anymore… I can’t really make the records that I want to make to be competitive on a rap level, it was bad timing. So by the time I actually did come and make the records, it was too late, motherf*ckers were already like ‘ahh, he already won.’”

Danny Masterson Has Been Sentenced To 30 Years In Prison For His Rape Convictions

That ’70s Show star Danny Masterson was formally charged with rape in LA three years ago. That happened many years after Masterson’s accusers saw their claims stall out (allegedly at the behest of Scientology) within the LA county court system. Additionally Masterson was released from The Ranch by Netflix as the streamer cut ties with him amid mounting sexual assault accusations. Since then, there has been significant movement on the case.

Back in May, Masterson (now age 47) was convicted on two of three counts of rape by force or fear, and word quickly came down that he could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison. Questions swirled about what would be next for Masterson, and Variety now reports that he’s received the full three-decade prison sentence. His victims spoke out in court ahead of the judge’s statement:

At the sentencing, the three women in the case told the judge that Masterson’s crimes had ruined their lives, and asked the judge to give Masterson life behind bars. Jane Doe 1 called the actor “a true coward and heartless monster.” Jane Doe 2 said to Masterson across the courtroom, “I still have to contend with what you did to me that night… That takes a life’s worth of therapy to repair. Every time I think I’m okay, that rape comes back to me.” Jane Doe 3 told the judge that she has been diagnosed with PTSD.

Additionally, journalist Meghann Cuniff tweeted that one victim made outward reference to Masterson’s former DJ moniker, DJ Donkey Punch (a reference to a dangerously violent sexual act). She added, “You relish in hurting women. It is your addiction. It is without question your favorite thing to do.”

This leg of the legal journey followed a second set of proceedings after a jury deadlock over the charges. The convictions involve Masterson raping two women in 2003 at his Hollywood home.

Anti-Scientologist advocate (and former second-generation member) Leah Remini was present in the courtroom during the sentencing.

What To Watch: Our Picks For The TV Shows And Movies We Think You Should Stream This Week

Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.

20. Full Circle (Max)

CIRCLE
MAX

We are gloriously awash in Timothy Olyphant. Not only is Justified: City Primeval here, but he also plays an apparently hatless role in this crime drama series from Steven Soderbergh. Olyphant and Clare Danes portray the parents of a kidnapped child, so yes, this might not be the kind of “tense drama” that you’re craving, but the talent is stacked into the stratosphere. Zazie Beetz plays the lead investigator on the case, and naturally, do not expect a cut-and-dried story from Mr. Soderbergh. Yes, there are secrets afoot here.

Watch it on Max

19. The Afterparty (Apple TV Plus)

AFTER
APPLE

The Afterparty was a ton of fun in its first season. It was a little whodunnit mystery with a cast full of your comedy favorites — Sam Richardson! Tiffany Haddish! Ben Schwartz! And so on! — and a fun hook where each episode focused on a different character and was presented using a different style of storytelling. Well, it’s back for a second season now, with a new murder and some new genres and a similar crew of characters. There is very little to complain about here.

Watch it on Apple TV Plus

18. Adventure Time: Fiona and Cake (Max)

ADVENTURE
MAX

Fionna and Cake were introduced in a season three episode of the wonderful animated series Adventure Time, and became instant fan favorites. Now, the pair have their own spinoff show, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, which finds them on a multiverse-hopping journey towards self-discovery. It looks just as funny, existential, and clever as the original, just with a cat (Cake) instead of a dog (Jake). Whether that’s an improvement is up to you.

Watch it on Max

17. Painkiller (Netflix)

painkiller
netflix

The story of Painkiller may seem familiar. It is, after all, a different way into the story told in the acclaimed Michael Keaton-starring Dopesick about the greed and devastation at the core of the opioid epidemic, but while the volume of the performances and tone may differ, this is, by the weight of its subject matter alone, a story worth re-experiencing. From the writers behind the Mister Rogers film A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, Painkiller stars Matthew Broderick as pharma CEO Richard Sackler, Uzo Aduba as a dogged government investigator, Taylor Kitsch as an oxy addict in spiral, and West Duchovny as a pharma salesperson/so-called “oxycontin kitten” and “drug dealer with a ponytail.”

Watch it on Netflix

16. Vacation Friends 2 (Hulu)

VACAY
HULU

The only thing that could make Vacation Friends – the wild, raunchy comedy about a pair of mismatched couples whose good times while on holiday follow them back home – better the second time around is Steve Buscemi and a baby. Somehow, Hulu got both. John Cena, Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji, and Meredith Hagner return for another tropical trip filled with job-threatening hijinks, silly disasters, and yes, more cocaine. But with Buscemi entering the mix as Kyla’s (Hagner) estranged dad fresh from prison and ready to ruin their fun and relaxation with guns, gangsters, and a bag of blow that ends up being Kyla’s mom’s ashes, the comedy gets dialed up a notch. If that’s even possible.

Watch it on Hulu

15. Harley Quinn (Max)

max

Even though there’s been a lot of upheaval at HBO Max/Max and even more so for films and TV shows starring DC characters, at least one supervillainess is safe. Miss Harley (who does not need the Joker for success) was almost pointedly renewed as a clattering of show cancellations and removals swirled. Heck, Kaley Cuoco’s voice even gave us the only Valentine’s Day special worth watching this year. Soon, we might find out whether Bane is still making love to a skyscraper as Harley attempts to get in good with the Bat Family. Quite a contrast there.

Watch it on Max

14. The Changeling (Apple TV Plus)

CHANGELING
APPLE

LaKeith Stanfield heads into the horror realm in this adaptation of Victor LaValle’s acclaimed novel. The show promises to be a grown-up fairytale begins in a New York City library and heads into a version of the Big Apple that usually remains closed from human eyes. It’s also a parenthood fable, and yes, it truly feels like the scariest horror stories often revolve around kids, whether they happen to be good or evil. Given Stanfield’s ability to showcase the surreal in various other projects, one can bet that this quality adds to the spooks in this series.

Watch it on Apple TV Plus

13. Winning Time (Max)

WT
HBO

The continuing saga of the Showtime-era of the NBA and the LA Lakers, well, continues, injecting a lot more Larry Bird into the mix while also seeing the impact of fame and failure on the principal characters of the era, inspiring strong performances from Jason Segel, Adrien Brody, Solomon Hughes, and Quincy Isaiah. Off-the-court and out of the trainer’s room, the complex family dynamic between the members of Buss family proves volatile, giving us Succession vibes. Damn, Succession in the mid-80s, what a dream. For now, though, Winning Time is a worthy substitute and more than worth your time.

Watch it on Max

12. Star Wars: Ahsoka (Disney Plus)

STAR
DISNEY

Rosario Dawson is back as Ahsoka in this spinoff of The Mandalorian, with all the face paint and prosthetics to go along with it. The biggest question here, though, is whether everyone’s favorite little green guy will show up at some point to steal a few scenes and hearts. Fingers crossed.

Watch it on Disney Plus

11. Predators (Netflix)

PREDATORS
NETFLIX

It’s so easy to feel safe and secure with our place in the food chain (at least until AI turns our microwaves against us), but the reality is we wouldn’t fare very well out in the wilderness, shuffling around with true predators who use teeth, claws, brutal strength, and their understanding of the elements to wage daily wars on their rivals and competing species. The Tom Hardy-narrated Netflix docuseries, Predators, amplifies that truth with humbling clarity, spanning the globe to show stunning and startling footage of predators in their habitat and at their most territorial and fierce. It’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, it’s nature.

10. Invasion (Apple TV Plus)

invasion
APPLE

This intense story, set over several continents, brings us crop circles galore and civilization’s collapse while humanity struggles to pull it together during (as the title suggests) an alien invasion. Naturally, there is a sheriff who gets pulled back from the verge of retirement as soldiers, mission controllers, and civilians everywhere lend their perspectives in this series from Simon Kinberg (several X-Men movies) and David Weil (Citadel, Hunters). The show is back for a second season while the world still struggles to figure what, exactly, is happening in real-time.

9. Billions (Paramount Plus)

billions
paramount plus

Whaddya know, Damian Lewis’ Bobby Axelrod is somehow back for one last *cough* job. Whether that job involves leaning deep into betrayal remains unknown for the moment, but expect alliances to fall and old wounds to fester. Enemies and friends find their lines blurred, and man, do enough people give Maggie Siff credit for being one of the most magnetic presences within any ensemble cast? I think not, but sure, Corey Still and Paul Giamatti are cool, too. Once this show takes the final lap, Showtime will somehow launch four spinoffs, and Maggie should appear in all of them.

Watch it on Paramount Plus

8. The Beanie Bubble (Apple TV Plus)

apple tv plus

Hey, remember Beanie Babies, those adorable and colorful collectible plush toys that looked so cute on a shelf while also sparking a fervor among collectors and investors? Of course, you do! You or someone you love probably had at least one. Remember the in-fighting and largesse behind the scenes? Eh, probably not, but luckily directors Kristin Gore and Damian Kulash Jr. are here to flip the nostalgia switch and illuminate the chaos in the process with this film starring Zach Galifianakis, Elizabeth Banks, and Sarah Snook as Beanie Baby insiders.

Watch it on Apple TV Plus

7. Twisted Metal (Peacock)

Twisted Metal
Peacock

Twisted Metal is one of the more unlikely video game-to-TV show adaptations, but the Peacock series has put together quite the crew for this post-apocalyptic joyride. The action-comedy stars Anthony Mackie, Stephanie Beatriz, Thomas Haden Church, Mike Mitchell (of Doughboys fame), and wrestler Samoa Joe as Sweet Tooth (Will Arnett provides the voice of the evil clown). The Last of Us was great, but did it have a clown driving an ice cream truck? Exactly.

Watch it on Peacock

6. Heartstopper (Netflix)

HEART
NETFLIX

Heartstopper is really just a lovely little show. The first season introduced us all to Charlie and Nick, two teenage boys who became friends and then discovered that friendship might actually be… something… more than friendship. Season two takes things even further. It’s funny and sweet and charming and gay as all hell, which is… yeah, really just lovely.

5. Archer (Hulu)

ARCHER
FX

The world has been trying to leave Sterling Archer behind for years and years with hilarious results as the spy and his associates have navigated land, sea, and air (and space), often stumbling into calamity while chasing adventure. But now, in its 14th season, the series, with all its ambition and wit, has reached its climax (yes, we are still doing phrasing) and we are here for it, specifically, the final bows of one of the greatest voice casts ever assembled. How will it all end? We can’t wait to find out, but regardless, Archer’s place as one of the best comedies of this century is assured.

Watch it on Hulu

4. The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (AMC Plus)

Daryl Dixon The Walking Dead Spinoff
Emmanuel Guimier/AMC

The only “solo” spinoff of AMC’s post-apocalyptic world is upon us. Daryl is most entertaining character to send to France, and he’s also the least religious of the bunch, which makes it awfully funny to see him hanging with a bunch of nuns after waking up in France like “WTF?” Most of all, though, Daryl earns his “Big Ass Kicker” nickname and we also get a lovely character study of the most loyal and industrious survivor of Rick’s old bunch. The action also delivers, so get ready for crossbows and total chaos at Parisian landmarks. Pssst, we also chose the most essential to watch before this spinoff.

Watch it on AMC Plus

3. Solar Opposites (Hulu)

hulu solar
hulu

Solar Opposites is, in a sense, two shows for the price of one. What a deal! One show is the alien adventures of Korvo (now voiced by Dan Stevens), Terry, Jesse, Yumyulack, and the Pupa, the cutest lil’ guy on television. The other show takes place in The Wall, where humans have been shrunk down and held hostage inside a terrarium. Both are very funny, very weird, and very good. Solar Opposites doesn’t get as much attention as Rick and Morty, but it should.

Watch it on Hulu

2. You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah (Netflix)

Adam Sandler You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah
Netflix

A coming-of-age comedy from the Sandman (Adam Sandler) and company, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah glimpses that time in life when everything is the most important thing that could ever happen with dire social consequences for every micro-embarrassment and misstep. A bat mitzvah (the religious right of passage for Jewish girls) absent Dua Lipa and a mojito bar? World ending. Your best friend moving in on your crush? Even worse. Sandler is in a clear supporting dad role (with Idina Menzel co-starring as his wife) while the kids take center stage, but this one feels like it can go on the shelf next to some of the more heartful films he’s produced.

Watch it on Netflix

1. Reservation Dogs (Hulu)

RD
FX

The thing about Reservation Dogs is that it is a good show. It has been for a few seasons now. And it still is in its third and final season, which is airing right now. Funny and heartfelt and everything you could possibly want out of a television show about some teens figuring stuff out. There’s a lot of weird stuff going on out there in the world. Some of it is kind of scary. Maybe you should chill out and watch Reservation Dogs. You could absolutely do much, much worse.

Fans Of Cardi B And Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘WAP’ Raunchiness Might Be Let Down By Their New Single ‘Bongos,’ Cardi Indicated

Cardi B may or may not be dropping her highly anticipated sophomore album soon, though she confirmed it will not be around her October 11 birthday and might not be in October at all because “I don’t want no sh*t related to work in October,” as she told DJ Whoo Kid this week.

Luckily, that doesn’t conflict with her plan to release “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion this Friday, September 8. It’s notable for many reasons, especially because it reunites them three years after their world-dominating “WAP” success. Everybody is excited, except for far-right conservatives.

“I wonder how people are gonna react to this vibe because they’re really, like, expecting ‘WAP,’” Cardi B told DJ Whoo Kid for an episode of his Whoo’s House podcast (as relayed by Billboard), which was public earlier Thursday (September 7) but has since been made private. “Like, ‘Oh, here they go again talking this and that.’”

She added, “We are talking a little, you know, about some p*ssy, but not like ‘WAP’-type of stuff.”

Cardi B promised that the accompanying “Bongos” video will be “beautiful” after she and Meg “worked so hard” and “put in our sweat and everything,” but again, she nixed any comparisons to “WAP”: “The [single] cover [art] gives off a ‘WAP’ vibe, but it’s not.”

On Thursday afternoon, Cardi B posted a video of her twerking on a couch, despite being “sleepy as f*ck,” across her socials.

“At six o’clock [EST], I will be premiering the trailer for ‘Bongos’ with me and Megan Thee Stallion,” she says. “And then, at like 11:30 p.m. [EST], I will be at YouTube. We gonna do a YouTube live to premiere ‘Bongos’! And I’m so excited. Meet me there, b*tch, because I’m f*cking tired, and we gonna be talkin’. We gonna get into some good stuff.”

Cardi had one more instruction in her Instagram caption: “Meet me THERE wit no pubic hairs !!!!!”

See the post below.

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Who Is Opening Lil Baby’s ‘It’s Only Us Tour?’

With Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour entering its final month, some fans are still wondering who the four opening acts are. As the original subheadliner, The Kid Laroi, dropped out before the tour began, and Lil Baby himself doesn’t take the stage until about 9:30 pm, it’s understandable that concertgoers might want to know more about the artists taking the stage before him. Here are the opening artists on Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour.

Hunxho is another Atlanta trap artist who operates in the same vein as rap crooners like Future and Rich Homie Quan. He’s a prolific creator, releasing three projects in 2023 alone, and has begun gaining more prominence thanks to his featured appearance on Quavo’s new album, Rocket Power.

Gloss Up is a Memphis rapper who happens to be GloRilla’s best friend and Lil Baby’s labelmate on Quality Control. She’s shown up on tracks with the likes of Lakeyah and Sexyy Red, and has a growing following based on her relatable ratchet raps.

Rylo Rodriguez is an artist on Lil Baby’s 4 Pockets Full imprint, who gained a certain amount of online infamy with the goofy cover for his mixtape, GOAT In Human Form. The hilarity was amplified with the revelation that he didn’t even realize GOAT is an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time” until this year.

Finally, there’s GloRilla, whose hit song “FNF” made her one of hip-hop’s hottest it-girls last year. She signed with CMG and is currently working on her debut album, looking to build on her successful breakout with some more Dirty South favorite Memphis trap swings like “Lick Or Sum” with Moneybagg Yo.

Look At How Happy Keanu Reeves Looks In New ‘Ride With Norman Reedus’ Footage

Only a few short days remain before The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (a.k.a., “Big Ass Kicker“) debuts on AMC. The evening will be even more exciting due to another premiere, which will be Ride With Norman Reedus‘ sixth season. The premiere will even feature Reedus on his bike and tooling around “otherworldly” stretches of Utah with Keanu Reeves. This will be both “excellent” and not “bogus,” although you’ll have to wait to see if any crossbows are involved.

A trailer already revealed a flash of Keanu bumping fists with the main man. We have to hear both of them say “Whoa!” at some point, but here’s some good news while we wait: AMC has revealed more footage, and Keanu looks like he’s having the time of his life.

This season will also feature “motorcycle enthusiast Norman Reedus” (that’s an understatement) doing his thing with a different friend each episode. Prepare to see a TWD star (sorry, it is not Melissa McBride, not this time) join Reedus for an episode at Talladega Superspeedway along with Johnny Knoxville in Rome and Josh Holloway in Northern Italy.

Ride With Norman Reedus returns on Sunday, September 10. If you need help sitting down in the meantime, you can relive these Daryl moments to stoke those flames.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Punk-Inspired Style Is Putting A New Spin On What It Means To Be An ‘It Girl’

When Olivia Rodrigo crossed over from her Disney acting origins to a prime pop takeover with her debut album Sour in 2021, she came ready-made with an enviable closet. The hit music video for “Good 4 U” found her channeling Jennifer’s Body with cheer outfits and long black opera gloves, setting the tone for the youthful energy that inspired her work. (It also became a strong contender for Halloween costumes that year.)

In the two years since Sour, Rodrigo is gearing up for the release of her second album, Guts, out tomorrow. And in doing so, she has also continued to cement herself as an inspirational figure for Gen Z fashion.

Whether it’s for a high-profile appearance or a casual day-to-day look, Rodrigo opts for vintage archival pieces. At the MTV Movie and TV Awards last year, she rocked a halter John Paul Gaultier black dress — believed to be made around 1987, according to Cosmopolitan.

Her preference for thrifting started as a teenager when she watched a documentary titled The True Cost, which showcased the effects that fast fashion has on the environment. Rodrigo previously shared in an Instagram interview with Sophia Li, “That was just something that I had never really realized up until that point.”

The recycling of style has carried down to Rodrigo’s fans, who also frequently thrift for their own unique pieces — rather than buying new items from companies like Shein and Forever 21. Over the past few years, resale platforms like Depop and Mercari have also replaced eBay for younger users looking to sell their old clothes and buy pieces from others’ closets.

When speaking to some of Rodrigo’s fans, her push for sustainability is something that they highlight as why they respect her fashion approach.

As one fan named Jenn points out, the pop star briefly “had a stint as a Depop seller herself.” The account, dubbed “SOURShop,” found Rodrigo selling items from her music videos and closet with all proceeds going to charity. These included the feather boa from “Deja Vu,” her white Nike Air Max’s from “Good 4 U,” and a ringer band tee of The White Stripes — one of her personal musical influences.

Others, like a Boston-based fan named Haley, work in thrift stores and have experience seeing firsthand what the younger customers are purchasing: “Plaid skirts, platform boots, [and] lace tops.”

“Vivienne Westwood jewelry and pieces always sell especially fast in our store as well!” Haley adds, pointing out the designer’s recurring influence on Rodrigo’s public appearances — between the pink beaded dress and matching choker for her first Grammy Awards or her plaid look on Saturday Night Live.

“I wanted to do something fun and young, but also we’re at the Grammys, it’s glamorous,” she told E! on the red carpet in 2022.

Much like Rodrigo’s noted love for The White Stripes, her penchant for picking Westwood pieces speaks to the role that rock plays in her wardrobe. The late designer first rose to fame as bands like the Sex Pistols and other punk performers relied on her shop for unique and shocking pieces.

Rodrigo’s style also pulls inspiration from the “It Girls” of decades past. At a Grammys after party, she emulated Paris Hilton’s popular 21st birthday look — wearing a custom Blumarine dress alongside Hilton at the DJ booth. She even recently raided actress Chloë Sevigny’s sale in New York City, revealing her “most prized possession” of owning the actress’ plaid Versace dress, in a Vogue 73 Questions video to promote the new album. “I’ve had this dress, the picture of her wearing this dress, saved on my Pinterest for years, and I was actually able to get my hands on it,” she said.

Yet, compared to the “It Girls” of the early-aughts, Rodrigo has also served as a role model when it comes to representation. She is also around a similar age range as those who love her. In July 2023, she became the first Filipino girl to be on the cover of Vogue US, which is part of the reason why Jenn respects her.

“She’s a really valuable source of representation for me, and I was so happy, as a Southeast Asian girl myself,” she explains. “I always feel like I can trust her influence because of how her character seeps into her output as a person with a platform.”

That representation is also felt by fans like Paris, who appreciate the fact that Rodrigo takes plus sizes into consideration when putting out her own merchandise.

The stylist duo, Chloe and Chenelle, have worked with Rodrigo (and other celebrity clients) to bring a modern spin to the grunge and Y2K styles. According to an interview with i-D, they contacted the New York-based designer Sintra Martins to pull looks for Rodrigo’s Sour tour.

“Aggressively feminine in that it was masquerading femininity,” Martins previously told the publication about her design approach, as i-D applied it to Rodrigo’s pink ball gown look as one example. “I’m always asking how I fit into this world, what I get to do, and a lot of that is prescribed by gender. I feel like I’m really limited by gender, in some ways.”

And Rodrigo, like any fashion icon, isn’t remaining static. It’s been a little over a year since Rodrigo wrapped her Sour tour, and much has changed since then when it comes to her style. With Rodrigo now being 20, fans like Jenn have noticed that she is taking a “timeless and sophisticated” approach. If the Sour era was marked by colorful tees and pink dress that play with the previously-mentioned “aggressive feminine” concept, Rodrigo’s Guts era finds her in more monochromatic outfits.

Still, other Livvies are continuing to follow in Rodrigo’s footsteps. Around the time that we speak, Bridget is in NYC and planning on heading to a Guts promotional event in another recreated street-style look of the pop star’s past.

She sums up the mindset of those who turn to Rodrigo for fashion inspiration best: “[Olivia] can make anything look good, and she encourages me to have fun finding new styles and to play around with what I wear.”
