Rosalía is making her big return to the Met Gala!

On May 6, the 31-year-old Spanish singer-songwriter appeared at the star-studded event, keeping her look simple, yet sophisticated with a black strapless gown by Dior that she paired with a chic veil.

"Embodying lady Dior. Embodying Maria Grazia's eyes," she told Vogue's official red carpet co-hosts Gwendoline Christie and Ashley Graham at the event, which is themed "The Garden of Time."

"I'm wearing all black because when I heard about the theme I heard it was about Sleeping Beauty. I was like, 'What is this for me?' " she continued. "I thought about dreams. When you fall asleep, you close your eyes, you see black, you see darkness. That's the prelude for the dreams. Today, I'm celebrating Dior and I'm a black tulip. By the way, by the way, Stephen Jones did this headpiece."

Her look took over 1,800 hours of work to assemble.

Returning to Hollywood's most fashionable event the following year, she spiced things up with an embellished Givenchy dress.
