Olivia Rodrigo has hit back over the criticism of her wearing a babydoll dress, labelling it "so weird" and that it "normalises pedophilia in our culture".
The American singer is set to release her third album, You Seem Pretty Sad For A Girl So In Love, in June.
However, she has come under fire for wearing a pink-and-white floral puff-sleeve babydoll dress with matching ruffled bloomers.
Speaking on The New York Times podcast Popcast, Rodrigo said it was her "right" to dress how she wanted – but added recent online criticism of her wearing babydoll dresses "shows how we really normalise pedophilia in our culture".
"Also, it's just this rhetoric we're fed as girls since we're so little, which is, don't wear that because then a man is going to sexualise your body and it's your fault. It's so weird," she said.
