The singer channels Swan Lake's Odile in a black tulle tutu and towering platform pumps ahead of the shows.

Rosalía made her Paris Fashion Week arrival today with a pointed message: the balletcore trend still has legs. The singer stepped out at the Ritz Paris dressed for the opera house rather than the hotel's Place Vendôme location—a short walk from her actual destination, the Palais Garnier, home of the Paris Opera Ballet.

Her stylist Jose Carayol collaborated with designer Laura Andraskho on the look, which paired everyday fall pieces with theatrical flair. A cozy gray cardigan and black tweed pencil skirt served as the foundation, while a sharp black tulle tutu extended from the hem of the fitted skirt. Rosalía traded traditional pink satin pointe shoes for towering Saint Laurent platform pumps with glossy black cap-toes. Oversized shield aviators completed the outfit, emphasizing its punk edge.

This appearance continues a recent pattern for the singer. She has embraced tutu-inspired styling throughout the year, incorporating actual pointe shoe work into her Lux tour while translating dancerly elements to her offstage wardrobe. In June, she wore a custom Yasmina creation in New York: a plunging latex bodysuit with a low-slung pink tulle tutu and studded belts that offered another punk-inflected interpretation of ballet aesthetics.

Where previous looks favored pale pink and white, this Paris ensemble signals a shift toward darker territory. The reference is clear: Rosalía has moved from Swan Lake's innocent Odette to the villainous Odile of Act III.
