Olivia Rodrigo wore a Burberry Vintage Wool Peplum Jacket with Christian Louboutin Leopard-Print Pony Hair Flats and a Chanel Lambskin Quilted Bi-Color Medium Single Flap Bag at the SNL afterparty in New York City on February 28, 2026.
Afterparties are where things get interesting. At the SNL afterparty in New York City on February 28, 2026, Olivia Rodrigo went for sharp contrast instead of full-on red carpet glamour.
She stepped out in a Burberry Vintage Wool Peplum Jacket, cropped at the waist with a subtle flare that shapes the torso. The textured black wool gives structure without stiffness, and the peplum detail adds just enough tailoring to elevate what could have been a simple dark top. Underneath, she kept it streamlined with black layers and fitted black jeans that hug through the leg before slightly flaring at the hem. The silhouette is clean and close to the body, which makes the jacket’s shape stand out.
On her feet, the Christian Louboutin Leopard-Print Pony Hair Flats shift the entire tone of the outfit. The leopard pattern is bold, but because everything else stays monochrome, it reads intentional rather than chaotic. In her hand, she carried the Chanel Lambskin Quilted Bi-Color Medium Single Flap Bag, the classic quilting adding a polished finish to the otherwise downtown feel.
What I like about this look is the balance. Strong jacket, playful flats, iconic bag. The flats carry it; if she had chosen basic black shoes, this would have felt too safe. This is a low-key celebrity look, but it has personality.
From a practical standpoint, flats at an afterparty make sense. You can actually move, dance, and get in and out of cars without worrying about stilettos.

Would you have kept the leopard flats, or swapped them for a sleek black heel to make it more traditionally dressed up?
