Rosalía’s Grungy Latex Tutu Dress Is the Peak of Her <i><em>Lux </em></i>Street Style

Reported by Harper's Bazaar.

Balletcore isn't softening — it's getting stranger, darker, and far more interesting. According to Harper's Bazaar, the aesthetic has been building momentum across pop culture, from Olivia Rodrigo's "stupid song" video (pink tutus, pointe shoes, New York streets) to rising star Adéla literally using a ballet barre as her entire stage setup when opening for Demi Lovato. But leave it to Rosalía to take the whole conversation somewhere no one else was going.

The day before headlining the first of two sold-out Lux Tour dates at Madison Square Garden, the Spanish superstar walked out into New York City in what can only be described as a ballerina uniform filtered through a goth fever dream. The look came courtesy of Yasmina Atta, a London-based designer whose surrealist, sculptural work draws from her Nigerian heritage — and who is very much still under the mainstream radar. Atta had already dressed Rosalía in a wool graphite minidress back in March, so this collaboration has roots.

The Dress, Deconstructed

The custom piece opened with a caramel latex bodice — low neckline, structured, uncompromising — layered over a black lace bra with a baby-blue bow at the center. The waist dropped dramatically, belted twice: once in white, once in silver pyramid studs. Then came the tutu — cream, pleated, pointy at the hem — which somehow made the whole thing feel more confrontational than precious. Platform heels in near-black, and wet-set hair in messy crimped waves pulled forward over her face sealed the vibe: less Swan Lake, more something you'd see at 3 a.m. and not quite forget.

This isn't a one-off styling moment — it's a directional statement embedded in the entire Lux Tour. Bodysuits, tulle, and tutus run throughout the setlist's visual world, and Rosalía dances en pointe during at least one number. For the North American leg, she's partnered with Jonathan Anderson at Dior to expand the wardrobe into full-scale fashion collaboration territory. The ballet reference is intentional, technical, and completely stripped of anything twee.

When Rosalía commits to a trend, she's not following it — she's exposing what it was always capable of becoming.
