Last year, Rosalía posted on the red carpet with short hair, velvet red lips and former partner Rauw Alejandro. Her choice for the Latin Grammy Awards 2023 was exactly the opposite. The singer nominated for Best Recording of the Year for Despechá (a category in which she competed against Shakira) arrived at the first edition of the Latin music awards held outside the U.S. with beautiful hair that fell loose and wavy down her back, a sheer black dress, and a matching black thong.
If Princess Diana created the revenge dress, has Rosalía just invented the revenge thong?
Covered from head to toe in delicate semi-transparent black lace, the Balenciaga SS24 design - more nude than dress - was deliberately revealing. As if the artist, aware that all eyes would be on her and Rauw Alejandro publicly meeting for the first time after breaking up in the summer, wanted to show openly: here I am.
The tail of the dress, matching her hair, was both a tribute to the flamenco gown and the soft goth trend of the season. The visible thong is in keeping with the Y2K aesthetic that has been on-trend for the past few seasons, and at the same time, it is a statement of intent: nothing to hide.
With nude lips and a natural makeup, the artist had her eyebrows combed upwards in a wave-like style, and a single loose strand of hair, known as a ‘tendy’. Rosalía really knows how to weather the storm.
