Flood of criticism of Rosalía for her sobriety at the Met Gala: ''Very basic''

Rosalía has become one of the most prominent Spanish figures on the international scene. She, at the same level as Penélope Cruz, the singer of Motomami, Candy, Catalina and Before I Die, she attended the fashion event of the year yesterday very excited: the Met Gala 2024.

On this occasion, the edition had luxury hosts (Zendaya, Chris Hemsworth, Bad Bunny and Jennifer Lopez) and the title of the theme was broader than that of previous years: ''Sleeping Beauties: the reawakening of fashion'' '. The official dress code was inspired by a short story written by British author J. G. Ballard in 1962: The Garden of Time.

Rosalía decided to go to the 'red' carpet with a sober, but elegant, two-piece black Dior set consisting of a top and a skirt with a train. To give more volume and drama to her look, the Catalan chose to decorate her face with a net headdress with a square frame, which covered part of her face.

When she spoke to the media, the artist explained that her outfit had a clear reason: "When I found out that the topic was about 'sleeping beauties', I thought what it meant to me, when you go to sleep the first thing you see is the darkness. It is the prelude to dreams and today I am celebrating Dior like a black tulip.

Although she opted for an outfit with history, the singer's outfit has not convinced many of her fans. Rosalía usually has an original, careful and daring aesthetic, which is why her followers have criticized that she has not risked anything on an evening as special as the Met Gala.

''For me it is a disappointment'', ''Very basic'', ''It looks like it's going to a funeral'' or ''The look is not ugly, but it is boring'' are some of the comments that can be read on the microblogging platform X (previously known as Twitter).

The 31-year-old's outfit has sparked countless comments and memes on the Internet. There are users on the Internet who have come to compare the artist with Rosario Porto, since the outfit is very similar to the one Candela Peña wore at the premiere of El Caso Asunta.

During the Met Gala we were able to see once again the great complicity that Catalonia has with the Kardashian family, especially with Kylie Jenner, a friend with whom she shared a car to get to the event and with whom she later left the place.

Like each and every time that Rosalía shares content with the protagonists of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, her followers have filled social networks with comments about it.
