Following the news of Olivia Rodrigo’s scheduled visit to the nation’s capital to promote vaccine awareness to her fellow Gen-Zers, the day has finally arrived and the memes have started to fly. The “drivers license†singer sported a vintage baby-pink-and-black plaid Chanel skirt-suit with black crew socks and white platform heels, a getup many were quick to compare to that of Jackie Kennedy, Cher Horowitz, and Ariana Grande in her “Positions†video. Naturally, people on Twitter cracked some jokes about the odd pop-culture moment.
But many praised her look and accompanying speech.
Update July 15, 10:00 p.m.: Not to be outdone, Kamala Harris joined in on the meme-able antics on Thursday night. The Vice President posted two photos of herself with Rodrigo, both clad in same shade of pink, on Twitter, with the caption, “@Olivia_Rodrigo and I agree, vaccines—they’re ‘good 4 u.’†We have to assume the first photo, which shows the singer and Harris laughing heartily, had to have been taken right after the delivery of a better pun.
