Olivia Rodrigo 'drop dead' by Petra Collins

Promonews - 20th Apr 2026

Olivia Rodrigo has pretty much succeeded in breaking the internet by cavorting around a deserted Palace of Versailles at night in her nightie.

Captured like an off-the-cuff yet highly unlikely home video, the latest of several collaborations between Olivia and the influential director and photographer Petra Collins is an original fantasy, where the lo-fi and retro aesthetic plays into the sense of unreality.

The video for drop dead is supercool - with a remarkable location - but it is also genuinely and affectingly joyous. Olivia is great in it, the nightie is definitely iconic.
