Maiara and Maraisa, the renowned twin sisters and musical partners, caused quite the stir at Virginia Fonseca's star-studded birthday celebration on September 18, 2023, commemorated at the iconic venue of São Paulo. The event marked Fonseca reaching 50 million followers on Instagram and it was noteworthy not just for the celebration itself, but for the highlight it placed on relationships as both Maiara and Maraisa arrived with their respective partners for the first time publicly.
At this glamorous gathering, Maiara dazzled attendees with her figure-flattering dress, creating the illusion of elegance, whereas Maraisa turned heads donning a stunning mini-dress from Italian fashion house Ferragamo, adorned with 58 individually applied scales. The outfit made waves, having previously been worn by actress Bruna Marquezine during the launch of her series,
Amor da Minha Vida, costing around $12,000 (over R$ 75,000).
Later the same evening, the duo appeared on the much-anticipated TV special Amigas, which aired live on TV Globo. The program celebrated female artists of the sertanejo genre with performances by shining stars like Ana Castela, Lauana Prado, and Simone Mendes. The special showed the growing force of women within the traditionally male-dominated music scene, illustrating camaraderie and collaboration among female artists.
The night was one for the history books as these talented women took to the stage to perform popular hit songs, including "Nosso Quadro" and "Cobaia". With their signature hats and metallic outfits, the energy was infectious as they presented timeless classics interspersed with new collaborations. Notably, the show paid tribute to the original Amigos special from 1995, which previously featured iconic male duos of sertanejo.
"São muitas artistas mostrando a força das mulheres no sertanejo e conquistando o seu lugar de fala..." mentioned Simone Mendes during the show, emphasizing the shift and growth of women's roles within the genre. It was clear from Mendes's comments and the performances at the event, how much the cultural dynamics have evolved and the importance of representation for future generations.
