Rosalía's Crystal Goggles Are 'Motomami' Meets 'Lux'
The star appeared on the red carpet wearing a head-to-toe outfit from Pierpaolo Piccioli's debut Balenciaga collection.
New Musical Era and Style Nostalgia
Rosalía has entered a new phase with her critically-acclaimed album, Lux. While she has developed a distinctive aesthetic during her promotional tour, her latest look on the red carpet harked back to her edgier Motomami era and revived a controversial trend from the 2000s.
Red Carpet Look Details
- A monochrome outfit from Balenciaga’s spring 2026 collection, Pierpaolo Piccioli’s debut for the house.
- A cropped top made of textured, fringed fabric featuring midriff exposure.
- A low-slung, billowing ball skirt cinched at the waist with a Balenciaga logo belt, reminiscent of early 2000s low-rise fashion, worn by celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kate Moss.
- The skirt's daring cut evoked Alexander McQueen’s infamous “bumster” designs that caused shock on Paris runways.
Signature Accessory: The Distinctive Glasses
" Rosalía’s glasses (if you can really call them that) left us recalling her Motomami days and some of Björk’s wildest looks. The bug-eye shield goggles were crowned with a crystal shield covering her forehead."
Design Inspirations
Piccioli's debut included accessories that paid homage to past eras and honored the contributions of previous creative directors at Balenciaga.
Author's note: The look fuses nostalgic trends with modern reinterpretation, highlighting Rosalía's unique style evolution and the designer's nod to past fashion eras.
