Rosalía's Balletcore Revolution: Embracing Edge and Elegance in Fashion and Dance
Balletcore has made a stylish comeback with the revival of ballet flats and dancewear-inspired outfits. Singer Rosalía has taken this trend to the next level with her unique style, blending latex, tutus, and dominatrix elements. During her time in New York for her LUX tour, Rosalía was seen sporting a daring ensemble featuring a plunging latex bodysuit, studded belts, a white tulle tutu, and stacked platform pumps. Her look was completed with curly hair and a sheer embroidered black bra.
Rosalía has collaborated with Jonathan Anderson at Dior to create custom performance outfits, including an organza feathered cape, an icy blue pannier dress, a militaristic dress with a tricorne hat, and a leaf medallion-adorned tutu. She wears the elaborate tutu during the show's first act and incorporates classic ballet moves into her choreography, inspired by the French collective LA(HORDE) and trained by Belarusian prima ballerina Tatiana to dance en pointe.
The evolution of balletcore has seen tutus becoming a staple in both on and off-duty dancer looks. Dior, Chanel, and Simone Rocha have all embraced the trend, with Dior showcasing fabulous tutus on the fall 2026 runway. Celebrities like Carrie Bradshaw, Rihanna, and Elle Fanning have also put their own spin on the puffy skirt trend. However, Rosalía stands out by infusing her tutu looks with edge, intrigue, and subversion, showcasing her unique style and creativity in the world of fashion and dance. Embrace the balletcore trend with Rosalía's bold and innovative approach.
