Olivia Rodrigo Wears Five Costume Changes to Open The Unraveled Tour in Hartford

Olivia Rodrigo Unraveled Tour Hartford September 2026

Olivia Rodrigo turned opening night of The Unraveled Tour into a full-blown wardrobe event. The singer-songwriter, known for "Drivers License," Sour and Guts, kicked off the 86-date run at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, Connecticut, on September 25, touring behind her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love. Styled by the Delgadillo sisters, Chloe and Chenelle, with hair and makeup by Karissa O'Hanlon, the night was packed with costume changes.

For "Drop Dead," Rodrigo wore a custom micro minidress by Dilara Findikoglu, based on the designer's Spring 2026 "The Girl in a Room" style. The loose, sculptural silhouette had a plunging neckline as its focal point, paired with Dr. Martens Audrick 20-eye leather platform boots for a punk edge against a stage filled with pink and white flowers.

The night's biggest visual moment came during "The Cure," when Rodrigo appeared in a custom melting dress by Hussein Chalayan's studio, a piece designed to visibly dissolve as she performed, playing directly into the tour's name. She later shifted into a red satin corset dress for a rain-soaked performance segment, then into a white halter minidress to sit at the piano, where she paused the show to sing "Happy Birthday" to her mother, Jenni, revealing the date lined up with her mom's birthday.

For a more playful, off-duty moment, she paired a graphic crop top with hot-pink satin micro shorts and orchid-pink checkerboard Vans, and later wore a plain white tank with baggy vintage-wash Edwin jeans and classic Vans Authentic sneakers. Rodrigo's dark hair stayed down and wavy through most of the set, damp under the stage's water effects.

The Unraveled Tour runs through May 2027, with support from Wolf Alice, The Last Dinner Party, Devon Again, Grace Ives and Die Spitz across its North American and European legs.
