The dress, originally designed by Rudi Gernreich in 1971, featured a classic polka dot pattern with a collared neckline and short sleeves. The standout detail of the outfit was the cropped green sweater vest layered over it. The added layer altered the silhouette adding a pop of green, combining 1970s references with a modern edge.
Gernreich, an Austrian-American designer, was a key figure in 1960s and 1970s fashion. He is known for pairing bold fabrics with unconventional pieces. His style was embraced by figures such as Twiggy and Peggy Moffitt.

Olivia was at BBC Studios to promote her third studio album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love.
