Olivia Rodrigo's 'drop dead' music video references Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette and 1970s fashion
Olivia Rodrigo has unveiled the music video for 'drop dead,' the lead single from her forthcoming album 'you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love.' Directed by Petra Collins, the video was shot at Versailles and draws inspiration from Sofia Coppola's 2006 film Marie Antoinette. Stylists Chloe and Chenelle Delgadillo outfitted Rodrigo in a dusty blue Chloé pre-fall 2026 off-the-shoulder top, silky ecru bloomers, and white pointelle knee socks. The opening features Rodrigo in a pearl-adorned minidress, reminiscent of Jane Birkin's outfit from the 1975 movie Catherine et Cie. In an April interview with British Vogue, she mentioned her Pinterest is filled with 'babydoll dresses and '70s necklines.' The singer referred to the track as 'the first chapter' of her album, expressing that it inspires her to 'skip around and roll the windows down and make out!' Behind-the-scenes images reveal Kirsten Dunst and Jason Bateman in Rococo attire, while the video contrasts contemporary items like pink over-ear headphones and laptops with historical backdrops.
