Rosalía’s Latin Grammys looks, and how to wear them

Award-show dressing is often treated as something that happens only to celebrities in custom gowns. Rosalía’s night at the 2026 Latin Grammy Awards was certainly that — four distinct looks, each more theatrical than a normal Saturday night — but several of the ideas are surprisingly useful for curvy women heading into party season. Volume, a defined waist, a hit of gold, lace with a high neck, and a simple black slip are all shapes you can adapt, even if you are not walking a Las Vegas carpet.

Vogue reports that the Spanish singer took home a suite of awards on 12 November, including Album of the Year for Lux and Song of the Year for “La Perla”. She marked the occasion with a run of outfits that fitted the spiritual, almost celestial mood of the album, beginning with a custom white gown by Matières Fécales, styled by Chloe and Chenelle and inspired by the Paris-based label’s spring 2027 collection. The dress had a sheer, tightly ruched corset bodice, clouds of tulle around the shoulders and an enormous floor-sweeping skirt.

The label, founded by Hannah Rose Dalton and Steven Raj Bhaskaran, has had a loud year on other carpets too. Vogue notes that Lady Gaga wore a dramatic black feathered gown by the house at the Grammys earlier in 2026; Zendaya has worn a winged white creation and a frayed salmon-pink gown; Demi Moore chose a hot-pink Cannes ballgown; and Sarah Paulson and María Zardoya both wore the label to the 2026 Met Gala. Rosalía’s arrival look sat at the more romantic end of that range: bridal, balletic and deliberately oversized.

Gold, bows, lace and a final black slip

The white gown was only the start. For her opening performance she changed into a custom Erdem dress in shimmering chartreuse-gold — a colour Vogue calls one of fashion’s most irresistible of the moment — with a structured corset, romantic off-the-shoulder bows and a full, gathered skirt. Later, to accept her awards, she wore ivory Vivienne Westwood Couture: a lace, corseted gown with a delicate high-neck collar and an asymmetric skirt. She closed the evening in a black satin Dior slip dress by Jonathan Anderson, posing with her awards.

That sequence is a fashion story in four acts: volume, colour, lace, then simplicity. You do not need all four in one night. You only need to pick the act that suits your plans.

How curvy women can get the look

The arrival gown is the hardest to copy literally, and there is no need to. What is worth borrowing is the balance of a close, ruched or corseted bodice with a very full skirt. On a curvy figure, that combination can be more comfortable than a narrow mermaid hem, because the volume starts below the waist and gives the hip and thigh room to move. Look for a fit-and-flare or gathered maxi in our women’s dresses collection, and do not be afraid of a lighter colour if the fabric is lined and opaque. Tulle over a solid slip or lining will give you some of that cloud-like movement without feeling exposed.

The Erdem look is the most transferable for a winter party. A structured waist, off-the-shoulder neckline and a bow — at the shoulder, the bust or the waist — is already one of this season’s big ideas. Gold or chartreuse may feel bold, but a jewel-tone satin or a shimmering midi will photograph beautifully in a dim room. If you prefer not to bare your shoulders, a portrait neckline or a soft wrap will suggest the same openness. Check the plus-size collection for cuts intended for a fuller bust and midriff, and always sit down in a corset-style bodice before you buy; support should come from the pattern, not from holding your breath.

The ivory lace Westwood gown is a reminder that coverage can still be dramatic. A high neck, long sleeve or lace overlay is a strong option if you want ceremony without a low cut, especially when the skirt is asymmetric or softly gathered. And the closing Dior slip is the most everyday of the four: a black satin column, worn with almost nothing else. Pair a simple slip or cowl dress with a straight coat from jackets and coats, and you have a last-look outfit that works long after awards season has moved on. Rosalía’s night was fantasy. The usable part is this: a defined waist, a bit of volume, a clear colour and, when you are done with the theatre, a well-cut black dress.
