Rosalía's Three Black Looks at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards, Explained
Published:

In brief
Rosalía wore three different all-black outfits at the 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami, where she won three honors including the Billboard Hall of Fame Award. Her carpet arrival came from Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2027 collection, while she changed into a crystal-fringe Givenchy gown and later a ruffled strapless dress to collect her trophies.
A Night of Three Wins, Three Looks
The 2026 Billboard Latin Music Awards took place on October 22 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, according to Infobae. Rosalía left with three honors that night: the Billboard Hall of Fame Award, Top Latin Pop Album of the Year for "LUX," and Latin Pop Artist of the Year, Solo.
For each stage of the evening, from her carpet arrival to her two acceptance speeches, the Spanish singer changed into a different black ensemble. Spanish-language outlets hola.com and Mexico's panoramaweb.com.mx tracked the looks in detail.
Look One: Tom Ford's Architectural Blazer and Bra
On the carpet, Rosalía wore a piece from Tom Ford's Spring/Summer 2027 collection, designed by creative director Haider Ackermann, according to hola.com. The ensemble paired a structured blazer with satin lapels, worn open, over a sculptural satin bra top whose cups were built with folds and volumes for what the outlet described as an architectural effect.
The look was completed with a mermaid-cut, ultra-low-waist skirt that hugged the hips before flowing into a small train, plus a thin black band worn as a hip belt. Rosalía accessorized with diamond earrings and a glossy terracotta-copper lip.
Look Two: Givenchy's Crystal and Fringe for the Hall of Fame
To accept the Billboard Hall of Fame Award from Dominican singer Juan Luis Guerra, Rosalía changed into a custom piece from Givenchy's Spring 2027 collection, styled by Joe Carayol, according to theFashionSpot. The dress had a structured scoop neckline, with thousands of black crystals covering the bodice and upper hips; theFashionSpot described the neckline as held up by thin straps, while panoramaweb.com.mx described the same dress as strapless.
Below the hips, the dress gave way to cascading strands of black fringe. Rosalía kept jewelry minimal to highlight the neckline and wore her hair down in its natural curl pattern, per the same outlet.
Look Three: The Ruffled Strapless Dress
For her Latin Pop Artist of the Year acceptance, Rosalía wore a third black outfit: a strapless dress with soft ruffles across the chest and shoulders and a fitted, straight-cut silhouette, according to panoramaweb.com.mx. She wore her hair in a ponytail with wispy face-framing waves. The outlet did not name the dress's designer, and no other source consulted identified it.
| Look | Occasion | Designer | Key details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carpet arrival | Red/blue carpet | Tom Ford Spring/Summer 2027 (Haider Ackermann) | Open blazer, sculptural satin bra, low-waist mermaid skirt, hip belt |
| Hall of Fame speech | Award acceptance | Givenchy Spring 2027, styled by Joe Carayol | Crystal-covered bodice, cascading black fringe below the hips |
| Latin Pop Artist of the Year speech | Award acceptance | Not identified in available coverage | Strapless dress with ruffles across chest and shoulders |
Beyond Fashion: A Message in Spanish
Across her acceptance speeches, Rosalía spoke about her career and her choice to sing in Spanish, according to Infobae. She credited Celia Cruz, Rocío Dúrcal, Vicente Fernández and Daddy Yankee — earlier Hall of Fame honorees — as artists who paved the way for her, and separately thanked Juan Luis Guerra, who presented her Hall of Fame Award, saying his music had moved her throughout her life.
Accepting the Top Latin Pop Album of the Year award for "LUX," Rosalía said she did not know whether the record counted as pop but hoped so, adding that what she did know was that she is from Barcelona and makes music in Spanish, according to Infobae and Primera Hora.
Ni ningún 'good afternoon', ni ningún 'hello'
That line, reported by primerahora.com, borrows a catchphrase popularized by Ana María Polo on the television show "Caso Cerrado" and was used by Rosalía to argue against English displacing Spanish in the music industry.
