It\u2019s 2026, and that means we\u2019re (allegedly) in the year of Olivia Rodrigo<\/a>\u2019s third album. More often referred to by its shorthand, OR3, the forthcoming release has been the topic on all her fans\u2019 tongues since the GUTS<\/em> Tour wrapped back in July, when she performed at Osheaga Festival in a red T-shirt bedazzled with the number 3. Since then, she has alluded to a busy year ahead<\/a>, dropped Easter eggs on her Instagram, and even worn vintage looks that felt like hints themselves<\/a>. <\/p>\n Her latest tease\u2014a not-so-subtle reference\u2014arrived yesterday as part of her New Year\u2019s Eve photo dump<\/a>, where she was seen ushering in 2026 with party hats and sparkly dresses. Sandwiched between beach shots and fireworks, a golf cart reading \u201cThe Album\u201d made its way into the swipe-through. Plus, she even wore a red two-piece from Frankies Bikinis<\/a>\u2014the rumored color of OR3.<\/p>\n When she wasn\u2019t dropping hints at new music, Rodrigo was celebrating the occasion with her longtime friends Madison Hu and Iris Apatow<\/a>, along with Apatow\u2019s boyfriend, White Lotus<\/em>\u2019s Sam Nivola<\/a>. In the Instagram post, Rodrigo\u2019s first since the rumors of her breakup with actor Louis Partridge<\/a>, the star danced in a 1920s-meets-Y2K flapper dress by Blumarine<\/a>.<\/p>\n Draped from gunmetal-gray silk and designed with spaghetti straps and a side slit, the early 2000s piece was adorned with oversize sequins that caught the light and reflected shades of silver. She sourced the sparkly number from Sweet Disorder Vintage<\/a>, a go-to spot for celebrities that has been favored by the likes of Ariana Grande<\/a> and Zendaya<\/a>, and paired it with a flapper-appropriate \u201cHNY\u201d feather crown. <\/p>\n![\"olivia](\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/or-695d37937eaeb.png?crop=0.8565008025682184xw:1xh;center,top&resize=980:*\" "\\"olivia")
