If there's any city that can handle Bad Gyal's heat, it's Miami.
The Spanish star has become a musical standout in recent years thanks to her electric fusions of dancehall of and underground urbano . Her Catalan language cover of Rihanna's "Work" (translated to "Pai") in 2016 went viral and buzzy collaborations with reggaetón powerhouses like Rauw Alejandro, Tokischa, and Myke Towers soon followed. Bad Gyal took the stage in Miami last weekend as the official opener for Karol G's sold out “Mañana Será Bonito” Tour and brought Harper's Bazaar backstage ahead of her set.
“I loved being able to share the stage with Karol G. She’s an artist that has achieved a very dedicated fandom that sold out a stadium even in the middle of a downpour and filled it with incredible energy," Bad Gyal tells Bazaar. "I’m so thankful for this opportunity."
The "Chulo" singer is known for her sexy, Y2K-inspired style and her onstage ensembles for the Manana Sera Bonito tour were no different. Working alongside her stylist Alba Melendo, Bad Gyal opted for a sultry sheer slip dress from Alexander Wang paired with fuzzy leg warmers from Pilar Del Campo and Nii Hai boots for night one in Miami. Later on in the night, she wore a bright white corset top, sequin encrusted bra, and ruffled mini skirt (seen above) from Bonet Studio to come out on stage once more to perform "KÁRMIKA”, her collaboration with Karol G, live.

On night two, the singer selected a darker hued look, wearing a chocolate brown two-piece set from Bonet Studio again, along with a neutral toned version of her signature fur leg warmers, an ensemble that embodied if rave culture met the runway.

For Bad Gyal, the weekend wasn't just about the music, but also making memories.
“It’s such a surreal experience to witness how my music can reach so many people," the singer reflected of the high-energy tour stops. "...and make cities like Miami shake!"
