An international star is joining the family at French fashion house Dior.

Rosalía sports an update on the Lady Dior handbag, named after the late Princess of Wales, in a move that mirrors the nature of the appointment: a contemporary match for the classic luxury label.

Born Rosalia Vila Tobella in Barcelona, the artist, known for her unique blending of genres, is also a songwriter, musician and producer.
According to the house, the commitment forges a connection between design and music, with the singer’s “singular essence” front and center.
Her charm, poise and identity as a symbol of contemporary femininity add to the appeal, the team says. This is not the first time that Rosalía and Dior have linked up.

Aside from multiple appearances at its recent runway presentations — the soundtrack for the Dior Cruise show in Seville, Spain featured bits from the star’s second studio album, “El Mal Querer” — Rosalía donned a custom black wool and silk dress by Ms. Chiuri at this year's Met Gala on May 6.
In line with this year’s historical emphasis (see story), a sculpted bustier, long tailcoat and netted headpiece by British milliner Stephen Jones evoked archival looks. The process behind the look is detailed on Dior’s social pages.
Posts reveal the atelier crafting techniques that make possible the haute couture so often spotted on consumers’ favorite celebrities. Rosalía herself has a sizable digital audience.
On Instagram, she boasts 27.7 million followers — on X, formerly known as Twitter, she has 4.8 million. These eyes are now on Dior as she comes aboard to represent the brand.
