Arch Arrivals: Rosalía received early birthday wishes from guests at the Dior show. The Spanish singer’s 32nd falls on Wednesday, and she teased the surprise new single “Omega” she is releasing to mark the big day.
“I’m releasing a song as a gift for my fans,” she said. The new tune is a collaboration with Madrid-based singer Ralphie Choo, known for his genre-bending bossa nova, R&B and jazz blends. Omega means “the end, the final,” hinted the singer, and is about the security of love. “It’s very exciting,” she added.
Rosalía, who was named as a global ambassador for the house in May, also sang the praises of the strong women she works with, namely Christian Dior women’s creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri and Blackpink’s Lisa.
Her collaboration with the K-pop star just reached the top of the international charts. “That was very exciting to be able to share with her, because I’m not used to singing in English, and so for me that was new. Then it was very fun to be able to be in the video with her, shooting with her,” she said. “She’s so precise, she’s a strong woman.”
As far as attending her second Dior show and working with Chiuri, it’s another source of strength. “It’s inspiring to see how she commands a team, and I admire her,” she said. Then her excitement got the best of her and she slipped into Spanish, declaring that the designer “simply vindicates the power of women.”
Rosalía took her seat flanked by Lisa’s bandmate and fellow Dior ambassador Blackpink’s Jisoo, and LVMH Watches chief executive officer Frédéric Arnault.
Jennifer Garner introduced herself and stopped to take photos with Jisoo, while Natalie Portman made her way down one side of the glass-enclosed central runway. The tube would soon hold an archer.

Elizabeth Debicki, who wore Dior for her big win at the Emmys last Sunday, discussed the sport.
“I once did it at school and just to pull the thing back was almost impossible. I think Jennifer Lawrence is the only person who can do archery in this whole building,” she said, joking that the “Hunger Games” star is the only Dior brand ambassador qualified to take up the arrows.
“The Crown” star was complete in a kerchief reminiscent of her Polish babcia and perfect for the rainy day. “It’s kind of like babcia-chic, grandma chic,” she said. The retro style was a world away from the chic black tank dress she wore to the awards ceremony on Sept. 15.
“It was just the dreamiest dress to me, I was actually sad to take it off,” she said of the look.

“Top Gun: Maverick” star Monica Barbaro was making her second Dior show. She’s also just wrapped playing Joan Baez in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.”
She found the folk singer’s style freeing. “It’s very comfortable clothing. She was known for dressing for comfort, and she was very free,” she said. “A lot of bare feet, and getting to do that on the film was a dream. Getting to run around barefoot was like being a kid again.”
French singer Yseult appeared on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” last week, just after rendition of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” at the Olympics closing ceremony.
Despite just commanding the stage at Stade de France, she admitted to a few jitters before “Jimmy.”
“It was my first American late-night show, so I was a little bit nervous of course, because it’s important to stay humble and grounded,” she said.
With that, stars took their seats and the arrows started to fly.
