Once again, Olivia Rodrigo has turned an average red carpet into a living fashion time capsule.

On Saturday, the "Obsessed" singer attended the Variety Hitmakers Brunch in Los Angeles wearing an absolutely show-stopping vintage LBD.

The skin-tight black mini dress from the Thierry Mugler fall 1998 ready-to-wear collection featured a sharp, tuxedo dress-inspired v-neck with halter straps and, as Rodrigo showcased while posing on the carpet, the holy grail of cocktail dress features: pockets.

Rodrigo let the vintage LBD's classic elegance speak for itself, accessorizing with just a simple pair of black, peep-toe patent leather heels. The GUTS singer opted for a minimal approach to styling, as well, wearing her hair in a sleek and simple ponytail and mostly understated makeup set off by a bold gradient lip.

In contrast to Rodrigo's simple take, the original runway styling for the dress included elbow-length black gloves, slicked back hair, and dramatic, almost goth-inspired makeup.

Of course, making jaws drop with stunning vintage pieces from the 90s is Rodrigo's red carpet trademark at this point. This year alone, the High School Musical: The Musical: The Series alum has worn notable 90s looks several other times, including the vintage 1995 champagne-colored Versace slip dress (that was first worn by supermodel Linda Evangelista) she wore to the 2024 Grammys.

Other highlights of Rodrigo's vintage 90s fashion finds this year include the bright red, vintage Coach Ergo bag she was spotted carrying in April and the icy blue low-rise pencil skirt with a small slit in the back from Gucci’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection designed by Tom Ford she wore to the Billboard Live Music Summit in Los Angeles in November.

Basically, Olivia Rodrigo reviving authentic 90s vintage on the red carpet is a kind of deja vu we'll always welcome.
