Olivia Rodrigo Buys Iconic White Stripes Dress

Olivia Rodrigo recently acquired a significant piece of music fashion history by purchasing the vintage white Gunne Sax dress worn by Meg White on the cover of The White Stripes' 2003 album, 'Elephant.' The pop star paid an "exorbitant amount of money" for the iconic garment, which sold at auction for $25,600, far exceeding its estimated value. Rodrigo debuted this historically significant dress at her inaugural nonprofit Daisy Chain Fields festival. The festival itself was inspired by Sarah McLachlan's 1997 Lilith Fair. Rodrigo stated that her motivation behind creating the festival was to foster a safer environment for young women, drawing parallels to a time when women had more autonomy. She expressed a protective sentiment towards her young fans, aiming to contribute to a better future for them.

This fashion acquisition underscores Rodrigo's established penchant for vintage styles with deep cultural resonance. Earlier in 2026, she celebrated her birthday in a 2004 Lindsay Lohan Blumarine ensemble. Additionally, she previously revealed to Vogue her purchase of a plaid dress once owned by Chloë Sevigny, a testament to her dedication to preserving and celebrating fashion with historical significance.
