Yalitza Aparicio: Style for Every Special Occasion

Let’s face it – Yalitza Aparicio can wear the s**t out of a dress. Her Roma press tour run and Oscar gown in 2019 was an absolute show of force – particularly for someone who had never walked a red carpet. From casual to couture, Yalitza knows exactly what she’s doing in front of the camera. In a world where we are still struggling to represent indigenous faces, skin tones, and cultures adequately, Yalitza’s prowess is a breath of fresh air.

“I wasn’t expecting how much happiness people expressed at seeing such a different face on the cover of something like Vogue México,” she told Teen Vogue. “The thing that means the most to me is giving people a sense that this is possible, that this opportunity would actually be something that could happen.”

She is showing those who feel under-represented that they too can wear the fancy clothes, walk the red carpets, and appear on the big screen. Most recently, she stunned at the Latin Grammys with a few outfit changes – each more sensational than the next. Yalitza has arrived, and we’re here for it. Below are some of our favorite looks from Yalitza since she has risen to fame…
