Rosalía mastering the art of workplace domination with style and grace.

In even the most mundane of corporate environments, the presence of the professional mistress is palpable. Every office, whether it’s a GP surgery or a magazine headquarters, harbors one: a cutthroat “dominatrix” who sees the workplace for what it truly is—a battleground for control and, at times, willful obedience.In “The Corporate Dominatrix: Six Roles to Play to Get Your Way at Work,” a book that could have easily been penned by Samantha Jones, author Lisa Robyn identifies a series of archetypes—such as the queen, goddess, governess, amazon, nurse, and schoolgirl—as strategies for employees to excel in the “sadomasochistic” environment of the workplace. Picture Rosalía in her knee-length Chopova Lowena skirt, crisp Homme Girls button-down, and Louis Vuitton heels, assuming the role of a “governess” last night. This archetype embodies a disciplinarian who transforms her workplace into a functional classroom, wielding authority with the swipe of a half-palm Gucci glove and a Gerrit Jacob-customized Kelly bag, her Elisa Johnson sunglasses adding an air of mystery.

Despite being out of office—likely attending a Bad Bunny concert in Los Angeles—Rosalía’s appearance serves as a refreshing rebuttal to the so-called “Office Siren.” This figure, with her Bayonetta frames and pencil skirts, has become a social media icon for those just dipping their toes into professional culture. Rosalía has effortlessly portrayed this role in the past, even without adhering to a traditional 9-5 schedule. But what comes next? What happens when all these “Office Sirens” ascend the corporate ladder and assume managerial responsibilities. Rosalía’s answer seems to be embracing the characteristics of a Corporate Dominatrix, clad in buckles, leather, and block-heeled pumps. She becomes a glamorous alpha who not only acknowledges but also revels in the delicate balance of power within the corporate landscape.
