Elton John-inspired looks take over Rock in Rio on the holiday: 'She's the Lady Gaga of our parents' generation'

Elton John was the main artist who closed the show at Palco Mundo at Rock in Rio this Monday (7th), arriving at the festival as one of the most anticipated after the announcement of a tour retirement. The fans attended the event demonstrating their love for the idol, mainly through looks inspired by the singer.

One of the fans who stood out with an inspired look was hairstylist Maria Elisa Azevedo, 30 years old. She explained that her mother was a big fan of Elton John in the 90s and that both parents were active in the music scene, which influenced her taste. Maria Elisa compared the artist to "the Lady Gaga of my parents' generation."

The inspiration for Maria Elisa's look came from a show that Elton John performed in Los Angeles in 1975, when the musician dressed as a baseball player with an all-sparkling look. The fan went looking for a shirt very similar to the one used in the show, but without the sparkles, to enjoy the idol's show at the festival.

Among the audience was also American John, 71 years old, who attended the event accompanied by another person. The text remains incomplete, without revealing more details about other spectators present at the show.

Why has spirituality gained space on social media?

Spirituality has been gaining more and more space on social media, with prayer videos, faith-related posts on stories, and influencers openly talking about their beliefs. Among posts about routines, beauty, and wellness, the topic has started appearing in various ways. Devotional books are one of these forms, gathering messages for each day about relationships, personal experiences, and spiritual life. Writer Junior Rostirola presented, in São Paulo, the seventh volume of "Coffee with God the Father," a series of devotionals created by him, with the theme "Daily Portions of Restoration," gathering 365 messages about faith, family, new beginnings, and relationships. For him, setting aside a few minutes for this type of reading can create a break amid the excess of information and commitments.
