Olivia Rodrigo debuted a daring look for the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures’ opening gala this weekend.

The “Good 4 U” singer opted for a sleek ensemble for the occasion, which brought a mature take to her edgy style. Rodrigo stepped out in a strapless dress by Saint Laurent, which featured a deep curved neckline. The garment also included a thigh-high slit. Notably absent as well were Rodrigo’s signature bold makeup, heavy jewelry and dramatic hairstyles reminiscent of the early 2000s, swapped in favor of a chic updo and red lipstick.

For footwear, Rodrigo continued her chic streak with a pair of classic heeled sandals. The black patent leather Amber pair, also by Saint Laurent, featured thin buckled ankle straps and wider toe straps. The stiletto heels totaled 4.1 inches in height. When paired with Rodrigo’s outfit, the shoes created a sharp and minimalist monochrome effect. Her sandals retail for $645 on SaintLaurent.com.
