Rosalía’s Empowering Response to Armpit Hair Criticism
For Paris Fashion Week, the Spanish artist made a statement by bleaching her armpit hair
Rosalía has taken social media by storm after her appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where she went for a gothic black and white look that left no one indifferent. But beyond her outfit, what really caught everyone’s attention were her armpits: unshaven and with hair dyed white, matching her look.
The singer shared several images on Instagram from her appearance at the Julie Kegels show, part of the Spring-Summer 2026 collection. In them, she can be seen naturally raising her arms, revealing her bleached hair. As expected, the comments were quick to arrive. While some applauded her gesture as a statement of style and freedom, others launched criticisms that bordered on the offensive.
Among the thousands of messages accompanying the post, one in particular went viral. One user asked, “Is it hard to remove armpit hair” along with several disgusted emojis. Rosalía’s response was as direct as it was witty: “Yes, but it still costs more to dye them, so you’re welcome for the service.”

With her statement, the Motomami singer made it clear: her style isn’t about pleasing anyone. Rosalía is more than willing to challenge conventional beauty standards. Her response—full of irony and empowerment—was celebrated by thousands of followers who see her as an icon of authenticity.
Rosalía: A Trendsetter
This isn’t the first time Rosalía has shaken things up with unconventional beauty choices. She’s bleached her eyebrows, turned ultra-long gel nails into a fashion statement, and embodied her own “motomami” aesthetic.
Now, with her dyed armpits, she’s setting a trend once again. The move has reignited conversations around beauty standards and body expression, particularly for women. Some critics dismiss it as unnecessary provocation, while others embrace it as an act of empowerment.
Either way, Rosalía has proven once again that she isn’t afraid to be unapologetically herself—even if that means coloring her armpit hair.
