In the 90s, appearing on the Ariston stage in two, one blonde, the other brunette, was a bit easy to win. Paola and Chiarastrong in the trichological dichotomy so much in vogue at the time, however, they change the cliché because they are certainly not the femme fatale by Pippo Baudo.

Look strictly in sync, like the voice always in unison, chaste salmon blouse unbuttoned just right in the final part to show the navel, leather pants. Minimals, soap and water, in their early twenties (but they call them little girls, we will soon know …), conquer first place at the Festival among the New Proposals with the mythological Friends like before.

The year before the Iezzi sisters they had begun to take their first steps in TV by participating in Sanremo Young: it was 1996 and, with an experience as a backing vocalist for Max Pezzali and the 883, they appeared in coordinated double denim (jeans and sleeveless crop).

More than a quarter of a century of sisterhood later, iconic hits, diatribes that only the Gallagher brothers across the Channel, Festivalbar and countless style changes, the breaking news is that, after the duo’s farewell in 2013 (the last album together is Jungle) Paola and Chiara could return officially to be Paola & Chiara.
After almost ten years of artistic separation, surprisingly, they recently first appeared together to intone Vamos a bailar in a Milanese boutique, then even on stage. And not just any one, but that of Max Pezzali, their mentor, for a full blown dip in the 90s. Starting with their outfits: sul back to the future of the sisters intervened Nick Cerioni who took up the essentials of the Nineties and the minimalist style of the time. For the sistersas in the beginning, double denim signed Pinko with trikini body completed by bold jewels. A fashionable parable closed to, perhaps, reopen another?
Meanwhile, the fact that Chiara has returned to being a blonde (because yes, in the years of distance, she was a brunette), is already news. Thanks to a tube of a decolating hair, the hope of an imminent reunion has rekindled in the fans.
While we fantasize about the “if” and “but” of return to the scene of the Iezzi sisters and on which fashion chapter they could reopen together again (the designer Alessandro Dell’Acqua is also waiting for them, who posted a photo of them with an animalier look by N ° 21 calling them “the real queens”), like an amarcord their extreme makeover in the time when they were truly the queen of the charts.
Because the first period with a simple and boyish mood, all t-shirts and pegs, was followed, at the end of the nineties, by another pop rock: for them looks like Natalie Imbruglia complete with pseudo grunge outfits, layered garments en pendant to short and layered hairstyles. But it is in 2000 the real success and the glamorous turning point arrives. The pop dance album Televisionstrong of the summer smash Vamos a bailaris an el bomband two switch their wardrobe becoming sexy icons, embracing the Dolce & Gabbana style with lots of corsets and crucifixes, bras on display and transparencies.

The TV censors them, but we are in 2003 and the world is not ready for the décolleté on display.
For the next ten years Paola and Chiara, while continuing to publish albums and singles together, never reached the same levels of popularity. In time their sexy style has turned towards the retro, passing from more fashionable peaks to more bon ton ones. In any case, always trendy and well-finished, the two sisters wear brands such as Francesco Scognamiglio, N ° 21, Stella McCartney.

Daniele VenturelliAfter breaking up in 2013, the brunette Paola became a DJ, producer and television face, releasing singles such as LTM feat. Myss Keta of 2020. Chiara, the blonde, turned brunette, dedicated herself to acting, but in 2013 she participated in The best years and in 2015 a The Voice of Italy as a competitor (yes).
Today, a change in hair color is enough to rekindle the dream. Because their catchphrases still resist, despite the fact that the world has been turned upside down in recent years, in any sense. If we are in the dance, then, let’s dance, indeed, vamos a bailar. After all, we have all entered one vida nueva.
Meanwhile, in the gallery, the fashion file of the most famous sisters of Italian music, to be scrolled by putting their playlist at full volume.
