This isn’t the first time the actor has mixed tailoring with sheer partywear at the Valentino spring/summer 2023 show back in October she wore a sheer crystalized bodysuit underneath a shorts suit embellished with the Valentino Toile Iconographe logo. In “Tuya,” Rosalía’s new song and music video, the Spanish singer takes viewers on a stylish tour around Tokyo. “I was inspired by Japanese instruments to create the musical arrangement of ‘Tuya,’” she says. If you’ve stalked the stars Instagram page before, it’s no secret that she loves the Japanese city, and often travels there—so she wanted to take a moment to spotlight its beautiful culture and style. “Japan makes me want to move slowly, delicately,” says Rosalía. “It is beautiful no matter where you look at it. I admire the dedication they put into the little things—it inspires me with everything. Absolutely everything is a ritual.”
While Rosalía describes the song itself as “a connection—or an erotic encounter—with another person,” the singer says she wanted the video to have an entirely different feel. “The video [is centered around] a foreign girl in Tokyo who is alone all the time,” she says. “I found that juxtaposition interesting for the visual part.” Of course, in doing so, she couldn’t help but infuse the video with a heavy dose of cool girl fashion as well. (It’s a signature Tokyo element, after all.) “I was having fun creating looks in Tokyo the day before the shoot,” she says. “The looks represent the playfulness from that moment, and also are part of the visual context of Tuya, where sensuality plays an important role.”
