The event marked a historic milestone as ELLE magazine celebrated its 80th anniversary, eight decades of championing culture, fashion, empowerment, and innovation. Presented by renowned designer Alejandro Gómez Palomo, creative director of Palomo Spain, the award recognizes Emilia’s undeniable impact on music and her fast-rising international presence. With a bold artistic vision, genre-defying sound, and magnetic stage presence, Emilia continues to solidify her place as one of the most promising voices of her generation.
ELLE’s recognition comes at a pivotal moment in Emilia’s career, as she just made history in Spain as the first international female artist to headline three shows at the iconic Movistar Arena in Madrid. She’s already completed two sold-out nights, with the highly anticipated third date coming up on June 7. The milestone caps off a powerful run across Latin America and Europe, and sets the stage for her highly anticipated U.S. tour debut this summer. The U.S. leg will join a growing list of international stops, including Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and of course, Spain. With her win, Emilia joins an elite group of creatives shaping the future of global pop culture — and proves, once again, that her star power is only just beginning to rise.
Emilia’s unstoppable ascent continues in 2025, earning her a spot among People Magazine’s Emerging Artists of the year. With her genre-defying sound and bold vision, she’s quickly cementing her place on the global stage. She was recently honored with an ASCAP Award for her collaboration with Los Ángeles Azules on “Perdonarte ¿Para Qué?,” recognized as one of the most-performed Latin songs of the year. Her latest collaboration, the electrifying “MOTINHA 2.0 (Mete Marcha) Remix” — originally by Dennis DJ and featuring Brazilian pop icon Luísa Sonza — showcases Emilia’s boundary-pushing versatility. This follows the success of “blackout 🧊,” her dynamic single with Nicki Nicole and TINI, which debuted at No. 9 on Spotify’s Top Songs Debut Global and soared to No. 1 on Argentina’s Weekly Top Songs chart for two consecutive weeks, currently holding strong at No. 4. Offstage, Emilia has made major cultural strides — starring in Falabella’s Baggy campaign, fronting the February digital cover of Billboard Español, and partnering with global beauty powerhouse L’Oréal Paris. With a rapidly growing international fanbase, chart-topping hits, and a highly anticipated EP on the way, Emilia’s unique blend of Latin influences and cross-genre appeal solidifies her as a powerful force in the music industry.
