Pop Star Dyes Her Armpit Hair At Paris Fashion Week, Sparking Mixed Reactions: “Chicken Feathers”

Rosalía has never shied away from challenging conventional beauty standards and setting new trends in the process.

Over the years, the Spanish singer has been credited with popularizing gel nails, tracksuits, and even dramatic eyebrows.

However, she debuted a new trend at Paris Fashion Week, dyed armpit hair, which has ignited a debate on social media.

“Tell me this is a joke… I thought she had glued some duck or chicken feathers,” wrote one mocking user.

The annual Paris Fashion Week kicked off on September 29 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.

The Con Altura singer attended designer Julie Kegel’s runway show at the event, wearing a stylish two-piece set.

She donned a black-and-white romantic gothic ensemble, featuring a halterneck top with unique cutouts resembling a vest and tie-like detailing.

It was paired with a matching black-and-white pleated midiskirt with a risqué slit running up her thigh to the waist, tied together with thin white satin drawstrings.

Rosalía accessorized with knee-high sheer lace tights and pointed-toe balletic heels, with thick ribbons crisscrossed around her ankles and tied in a bow at the back.

The singer kept her makeup minimal, wore no jewelry except for a bejeweled cross embedded on the manicured nail of her right ring finger, and had her hair loosely tied back.

While greeting fans, posing for paparazzi, and signing autographs at the event, Rosalía’s sleeveless top gave a full view of her unshaved armpit hair.

Fans noticed that it was bleached white, somewhat matching the color palette of her outfit.

Showing unshaved armpit hair in public is not entirely uncommon, as several celebrities, including Julia Roberts, Miley Cyrus, Madonna, Gigi Hadid, and others, have participated in the practice in the past.

Notably, Roberts showcased her unshaven underarms as far back as the 1999 London premiere of her hit film Notting Hill.

However, bleached armpits had not been done by any star before, making Rosalía’s latest public display a bold new trend.

“The definition of Fashion these days is no longer certain,” expressed one netizen on social media.

“Artists don’t know what to do to get noticed.”

In 2023, while attending the Latin Grammy Awards in Seville, Spain, the pop star turned heads with her over-the-top eyebrows, each feathered and segmented in an artistic way.

Around the same time, she also popularized her signature Motomami aesthetic—a fusion of hard ‘moto’ energy with soft, vulnerable ‘mami’ energy, blended with influences from biker culture, Y2K style, and Japanese anime.

The aesthetic became a significant trend in street-style fashion.

Due to her unique fashion sense and trendsetting choices, several major designer brands collaborated with Rosalía. 

The singer-songwriter was recently announced as the face of Calvin Klein’s Fall 2025 campaign, and this summer, she was also revealed as an ambassador for New Balance in a five-part campaign.
