Teen superstar Billie Eilish and Fil-Am pop darling Olivia Rodrigo and led the stars at Variety 2021 Music Hitmakers Brunch held in Los Angeles on Saturday (Sunday in Manila).
Billie complemented the red carpet by slipping into a loose-fitted burgundy top that matched her jacket and a pair of baggy trousers, accessorizing the ensemble with a few necklaces. The 19-year-old artist, together with Finneas, was honored with best film song of the year award.
Olivia, who had her breakthrough single with “Driver’s License” last year, arrived at the event wearing a little black dress that featured a massive green bow on the front. She was later on honored with songwriter of the year plum.
The event, tied to Variety‘s Dec. 2 Hitmakers issue, honors the writers, producers, publishers, managers, and executives who helped make — and break — the 25 most consumed songs of the year.
Among the artists honored at the event were BTS for record of the year, Lil Nas X for innovator of the year, Lana Del Rey for the decade Award, Jack Harlow for hitmaker of tomorrow, Normani for collaborator of the year, Polo G for the rising star award presented by Amazon Music, Kali Uchis for the crossover award, Glass Animals for group of the year, Walker Hayes for sync of the year, and City Girls for the Future Is Female Award presented by Motown Records.
