There are families bound by blood \u2014 and then there are those bound by fashion. For Irina<\/a>, Sarai<\/a>, and Michelle Barrocas<\/a>, it\u2019s both. Between Milan and Paris, you\u2019ll find the trio front row at Dolce&Gabbana<\/a> and Chanel<\/a> shows, effortlessly embodying the kind of glamour that turns fashion week into a family affair. Whether they\u2019re filming, performing, or globe-trotting, they always reunite in Europe\u2019s fashion capitals \u2014 their shared love of style is the thread that ties them together.<\/span><\/p>\n

This season, that thread leads them to Los Angeles. For Vogue World: Hollywood<\/a>, each of the Barrocas women appears in Oscar de la Renta<\/a><\/span> gowns \u2014 selected as carefully for narrative as for silhouette. <\/span>Their looks draw from the Latina actresses who defined Hollywood\u2019s golden age \u2014 Dolores del R\u00edo, Lupe V\u00e9lez, Carmen Miranda, Rita Moreno, and Rita Hayworth \u2014 women whose style was inseparable from their ambition, and whose names redefined what power could look like on screen. In these gowns, the Barrocas women aren\u2019t simply referencing history; they\u2019re re-articulating it through a modern, distinctly Latin lens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarai is already translating that legacy into her own orbit. A Latin singer-songwriter born in Miami<\/a>, her sound blends reggaeton rhythm and pop lyricism, with visuals conceived by fashion photographer Greg Swales<\/a>. Michelle, an actress who recently spent the summer in Rome filming, brings a cinematic intelligence to fashion, gravitating toward pieces that tell a story. And Irina \u2014 the matriarch \u2014 remains the family\u2019s gravitational center. A Venezuelan model and actress regularly captured by Franco Rubartelli<\/a>\u2019s lens, she represents an enduring kind of allure: self-possessed, luminous, and impossible to imitate. Together, the three embody a generational dialogue \u2014 sisters Sarai and Michelle, and their mother Irina \u2014 united by artistry, elegance, and fashion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, they reflect a continuum of Latin elegance that feels both inherited and entirely their own. As they get ready for the evening, surrounded by diamonds, glamour, and conversation, GRAZIA USA<\/em> captures the in-between \u2014 the quiet ritual before the flash, where beauty becomes memory and fashion turns, once again, into family language.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: You each have such distinct beauty looks \u2014 how do you approach glam individually?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas<\/strong>: For me, glam always starts with how I want to feel. I love looks that make me feel empowered, strong, and feminine. It\u2019s about celebrating who I am from the inside out and letting that energy shine through.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Any beauty rituals before a big event?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas: <\/strong>I like to create a good vibe \u2014 nice music, warm tea, moisturizer, and positive energy. When your energy is good, your glam reflects that.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How does your Latina heritage influence your sense of style?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas:<\/strong> In South America, we say, \u201cPrimero muerta que mal arreglada\u201d \u2014 you better dress well before you go out. We love color, sparkle, and music \u2014 a little over the top in the best way. It\u2019s how we celebrate life and honor our roots.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What does representation mean to you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas:<\/strong> Representation is about showing young Latina women that they belong in these spaces \u2014 that our culture, our beauty, and our power deserve to shine.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How do you reinterpret classic Hollywood glamour with your own twist?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas:<\/strong> I love sparkles, so I\u2019m wearing an incredible gown by Oscar de la Renta, who\u2019s an icon in fashion and in our Latin community. I bring my culture into the elegance \u2014 with color, shine, and joy. It\u2019s classic glamour, but with my own Latin heartbeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: If you could embody one Hollywood icon, who would it be?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas:<\/strong> Oh, so many! Mar\u00eda F\u00e9lix, Rita Moreno, Raquel Welch \u2014 fierce, elegant, powerful women.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How does Oscar de la Renta capture Latina elegance?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Irina Barrocas:<\/strong> He\u2019s always understood the magic of our culture \u2014 the joy, the color, the sparkle. He translated that spirit into fashion in a way that feels powerful and timeless.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What\u2019s the energy like getting ready together?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas:<\/strong> I love getting ready with my sister and my mom \u2014 we\u2019re laughing, playing music, hyping each other up. The energy is amazing, and it\u2019s so special to share this as a family.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How would you describe your sister dynamic in three words?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas: <\/strong>Fun, chaotic, and authentic. My sister is my best friend, and our bond is full of love, laughter, and realness.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How has your mom, Irina, shaped your style?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas:<\/strong> My mom is a total fashionista. She always encouraged us to explore and have fun with our style. She wanted us to feel confident and happy in what we wore.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What\u2019s a beauty lesson she\u2019s taught you?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas: <\/strong>Always go out put together. It\u2019s not about looking a certain way \u2014 it\u2019s about feeling powerful.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How does it feel to share this moment with your family?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas:<\/strong> It\u2019s so special. So many exciting things are happening right now, and having them by my side means everything. Going to Vogue World together is a dream.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Does fashion influence your music \u2014 or vice versa?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas:<\/strong> Both. When I\u2019m creating visuals or performing, fashion is a huge part of how I tell the story. They feed each other \u2014 it\u2019s all one world for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What message do you want your music to send to your listeners right now?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas: <\/strong>Right now, I want my music to make people feel confident, powerful, and free. My next single, \u201cSola\u201d, is all about being single and happy, feeling good in your own skin, and owning your power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How does your Latina identity show up in your art?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sarai Barrocas: <\/strong>Honestly, everything about my artistry screams Latina. I\u2019m proud to be bilingual and bicultural. It lets me tell stories that reflect where I come from and where I\u2019m going.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What\u2019s the energy like getting ready together?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas:<\/strong> Loud \u2014 hair tools everywhere, music blasting, everyone hyping each other up. It\u2019s chaos, but it\u2019s our favorite kind.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How would you describe your sister dynamic?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas:<\/strong> Honest, chaotic, and creative.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Who\u2019s the most decisive about fashion?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas:<\/strong> Sarai knows exactly what she wants. I love mixing and matching until the look clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: How has your mom shaped your confidence?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas:<\/strong> She made fashion fun and expressive, never forced. She taught us that confidence is beauty \u2014 to dress for ourselves first.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: Do you borrow from each other\u2019s closets?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas: <\/strong>Always. Nothing is off-limits. Things \u201cgo missing\u201d all the time and show up a week later (laughs).<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What family fashion moments make you laugh?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas: <\/strong>The matching outfits. Every party, every photo \u2014 we were twinning. We thought we looked incredible. Now we just laugh.<\/span><\/p>\n

GRAZIA: What do you want your family\u2019s style to say?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Michelle Barrocas: <\/strong>That we\u2019re bold, united, and unapologetically ourselves. Fashion is part of our story as a family.<\/span><\/p>\n
