From one symbol to the next! Olivia Rodrigo doesn’t steer away from Y2K style, whether it’s butterfly clips or plaid tiny skirts. While her “Brutal” music video, which was released on Monday, August 23, was full of early-aughts design inspiration, one costume, in particular, paid special homage to the original princess of pop.

The 18-year-old singer wears a white one-shoulder Roberto Cavalli dress with a bustier-like top in the video’s opening sequence. While the blue hair and fishnet tights added a punk edge to the outfit, it should still look a little bit familiar.

You might wonder why. Britney Spears, on the other hand, wore the exact same outfit at the 2003 American Music Awards, as Evan Ross Katz first pointed out.

This incredible fashion tribute wowed admirers all across the world, with many taking to Twitter to express their admiration for the symbolic fashion torch being passed down.

A fan remarked, “Olivia wearing Britney Spears’ 2003 mom dress is everything to me 3.” “The serotonin boost I needed today was @Olivia Rodrigo donning one of Britney’s best award show gowns in #brutalMV,” another user remarked.

This isn’t the first time Rodrigo has teased Spears with a subtle. In June, the “Drivers License” singer shared a photo of herself dressed as a schoolgirl, complete with a pleated skirt and collared skirt, on Insta.

The look quickly drew comparisons to Britney Spears’s “Baby One More Time” ensemble from the 1998 music video, which was styled by Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo.

In January, Rodrigo and his friend Iris Apatow made a sly reference to Spears. They wore “Dump Him” t-shirts, which were popularised in the early 2000s by the “Circus” singer.

“The Britney Spears situation was horrifying, and I’ve been watching it closely. It’s just so bad, in my opinion. I believe that as an industry, we’re getting better at not using, manipulating, and bullying young women,” she remarked.

“But it’s still very clear, and I witness it as well,” the “Deja Vu” singer continued. “Obviously, not on the same level as Britney. That, I believe, is a crucial paradigm that, hopefully, future generations will be able to break. I’ve seen corporate profits take precedence over people’s mental health.”
