Camila Cabello is preparing for a fabulous Halloween party at Joia Beach in Miami Beach, nestled among palm trees. To pay homage to her latest album, C, XOXO, and her Cuban heritage, she will be dressed as a Havana Tropicana dancer. Inspired by the extravagant costumes of the women who performed at the iconic Tropicana Nightclub in Havana in the 1930s, Cabello worked with designer Eileen O’Brien to create a modern version of the look. The costume features over 10,000 rhinestones and took 236 hours to build.
Cabello’s latest album, C, XOXO, is a departure from her previous works, focusing on fun, young, and flirty vibes. While some have accused her of altering her sound to mimic mainstream artists, she believes she has never been more authentic. The album features Miami-inspired hits like “Dade County Dreaming,” “I Luv It,” and “Dream-Girls.” Camila wanted to capture the cultural landscape of Miami in her music and pay tribute to her Latin roots.
At her Halloween party, local personalities dressed in galactic princess-meets-carnaval queen ensembles arrived to dance to her music. Cabello expressed her interest in exploring themes of girlhood and adulthood in her 20s, focusing on dating, friendships, and personal growth. Despite her vibrant and feathery costume, she admits that her personal style leans towards a preppy academia vibe.
Her beauty routine is simple yet effective, with a focus on concealer, blush, mascara, and lip liner. She keeps her skincare routine basic but always ensures to remove her makeup before bed. Camila’s collaboration with various musicians on her album opened her up to new possibilities in her music. As for her next album, she remains open to different sounds and directions, allowing the creative process to reveal itself naturally.
As the party approaches, Camila expresses her excitement to spend time with friends, dance, and enjoy the festivities. She looks forward to seeing her makeup artist Patrick Ta’s costume and plans to request some 2000s hip hop from the DJ. The night promises to be filled with music, dancing, and fun as Camila continues to evolve as an artist and performer.
