Spanish singer Rosalía is in a new campaign for Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS. It’s Rosalía’s first partnership in the fashion industry. The apparel content will also be the company’s first bilingual branch out with both Spanish and English, which features a 15-second advertisement and a series of photos.
Kim Kardashian, the founder of SKIMS, said Rosalía’s willingness to experiment with her music and personal style is an inspiration to her and the campaign is all about the energy and confidence she brings to the world.
The photos for the new campaign show Rosalía, 28 wearing shapewear from SKIMS’ signature cotton collection. This includes black and white t-shirts, thongs, bras, bralettes, and leggings. Other pieces in the collection include boy shorts, briefs, boxers, tank tops, bodysuits, and onesies.
This is the brands way to extend their image and be more inclusive and enticing to customers worldwide.
In a statement, Rosalía added: “I love SKIMS. They are so comfy and make me feel very sexy at the same time. I’m so excited that I finally got the chance to collaborate, especially in their Cotton Collection which is my fave.”
Grammy Award winner Rosalía wore Givenchy Haute Couture, designed by Matthew M. Williams, to the 2022 Costume Institute Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The 2022 Met Gala’s theme celebrated America: An Anthology of Fashion last night on May 2nd, in New York, NY.
Rosalía arrived in style donning an ivory long dress in silk tulle embellished with G signature jewelry, fully embroidered with crystals, beads and silk ruffles layered with standing tulle, worn with matching embroidered gloves, ivory embroidered Kenny bag, ivory leather platform high boots, silver G earrings inserted with crystals and black matte signature G sunglasses.
Since going off the grid following the success of Melodrama, Lorde has preferred to use email newsletters to communicate with fans. Technically, it’s how she announced her latest album, last year’s Solar Power, and she often sends out missives on days when she has news or updates on her music and tour. Today, she launched the video for “Secrets From A Girl (Who’s Seen It All),” and sent out a newsletter to promote that, as well as share what she’s been up to so far this year.
One thing she’s been up to? Fan girl-ing over Rosalía, as so many of us have been. Motomami is, no question, one of the most inventive and exciting albums of the year, and as Cardi B herself said, you don’t really even have to know Spanish to understand the intention behind this music.
For Lorde’s part, she thinks the project is a good reminder of why pop music itself exists. “I’ve listened to the Rosalía album every day since it came out,” she wrote in the newsletter. “F*ck, it’s so good, I gagged when I heard that interpolation of “Archangel,” “Hentai” is genius, “Sakura”… projects like this remind me why I live for pop music — at its best, there’s nothing better.”
Couldn’t agree more! If you haven’t done so, feel free to sign up for Lorde’s newsletter right here.
Rosalía‘s album Motomami, released on Friday, was met with instant success and praise. After a rollout full of catchy songs, seductive music videos, and glowing late-night television performances, she caught everyone’s attention and impressively built up the hype as much as possible. It turns out she even captured famous rapper Cardi B‘s attention, who took to Twitter over the weekend to share her love for Motomami: “Loving the Rosalia album…..soooo fireeee….Even if you don’t speak Spanish you will get into it.”
Loving the @rosalia album ….soooo fireeee ….Even if you don’t speak Spanish you will get into it.
Cardi B is known for appreciating artists through social media posts, and lately she’s been casually showing off her eclectic music taste; just last week, she tweeted a clip of iconic third-wave emo band My Chemical Romance‘s 2004 video for their thrashing hit “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” from their third studio album Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. For the caption, she wrote, “They don’t make music like this anymore,” leaving the replies overflowing with questions like, “Cardi are you about to be in your emo era?” and, of course, “Remember when you used to release music? We miss that.”

When the new game GTA Online: The Contract debuts later this week, it will feature Dr. Dre and Anderson .Paak as characters. But there’s more. Considering that Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto franchise has boasted some of the most profitable media in history, it’s only fitting that they’ve invested heavily in ensuring that the music that accompanies the game play is as fresh and of-the-moment as possible.
When new game bows on December 15th, there will be a new radio station: Rosalía and Arca are behind “Motomami Los Santos,” which not only features new music from Rosalía’s upcoming album, Motomami. It will also has feature tunes from Arca’s Kick series and a brand new track from Bad Gyal. Overall, the station spans the spectrum from Daddy Yankee to Playboy Carti, and Rauw Alejandro to DJ Spinn.
The game’s existing stations are also getting a total refresh, with an incredible amount of new music premieres that would make Zane Lowe jealous. On the Big Boy-hosted “Radio Los Santos,” Schoolboy Q will be premiering the new track “Let’s Get It.” There’s also new and unheard songs from Freddie Gibbs, Mozzy, YG, Tia Corine, Offset, and more. DJ Pooh’s “West Coast Classics” station is also set to feature a career-spanning Dr. Dre playlist. Leimert Park’s Dam-Funk is behind the games overall g-funk-soaked score.
