The vocalist could be seen smiling as she posed for a picture with a bunch of others. She could be seen donning a black lace top and flowing yellow skirt, accessorising with a silver bracelet.

Fans were quick to gush over the fresh snap on Reddit, which marked her last public appearance since the Grammy's in 2017. One wrote: "Glad to see them and Enya doing well." A second posted: "Omg, I'm so happy to see her finally," as a third put: "Good to see our Enya." Advertisement Most read in Music One loyal fan then added: "I recognise her outfit from this 2016 performance of Orinoco Flow in Japan edit: and Enya's live US performance of Echoes in Rain — re-worn very stylishly." Another mused: "She looks so lovely here, but girl drop the mixtape already omg it's been 10 years." One simply put: "She looks stunning." GOING SOLO Enya's isolated life with her cats has been well-documented. Advertisement We previously reported how she also bans herself from listening to other artists' music and once claimed to have never bought an album — to keep her own work as original as possible. She spends nearly all her waking hours with a much older married couple who for 30 years have helped create her eerie, warbling music. Songs are painstakingly put together, often overdubbed with vocals more than 500 times. They are sung in a bizarre mix of languages. Advertisement Initially a mixture of English and Gaelic, she now records in Sindarin and Quenya, both created by author JRR Tolkien, and Loxian — which she invented herself with her songwriters. ENYA'S HISTORY Eithne Ní Bhraonáin, in Gweedore, Co Donegal, Ireland, she grew up as one of nine siblings. She was a shy child who loved playing the piano and singing, later explaining how the pandemonium of a large family instilled her lifelong love of being alone and describing silence as a luxury. At 19 she joined her family's band, Celtic music group Clannad, on synth and backing vocals. Advertisement She left two years later, moving into the Dublin home of Nicky Ryan, 69, the group's producer, and his wife Roma, 61. Following her acrimonious split from Clannad, the three wrote music together, culminating in her 1987 self-titled debut album. But it was with the release of second LP Watermark the following year that she entered the stratosphere. Featuring her best-known track, Orinoco Flow (Sail Away), it shifted 11million copies worldwide. Since then the trio have worked closely on a string of albums which have quietly sold by the bucketload. Advertisement She has won four Grammys and got an Oscar nod, for her work on the Lord Of The Rings soundtrack. The single star previously spoke of her isolated life, music success and juggling love and said: "I am single, yes. "But as the song suggests, there have been… relationships. It's quite hard to have someone accept that – well, not that they are second to the music, but that I do need a certain amount of space for it." She added to the Advertisement "It's difficult." 6 The Orinoco Flow and Only Time singer has achieved huge chart success Credit: Handout 6 She has won four Grammy Awards Credit: Getty - Contributor 6 She previously told how any relationship would come second to her music Credit: AFP Advertisement

Monochrome Monday: The Caribbean Blue Edition
This shade of blue is a story of chromatic contradiction. Saturated but soft, languorous but vivid, it captures that convergence of feelings that occur at the border between sea and land. May 19, 2025 Pantone's Caribbean Blue doesn't quite know who she is, and that's ok. With its dulled undertone and saturated surface, Caribbean Blue is a story in contradiction. It's not quite turquoise, not quite teal. This is a shade which speaks in long, yawning sentences rather than monosyllabic statements. It's sun-drunk afternoons, surf-slicked skin, and that electric clam when sea meets the sky and everything else melts away. It's deep lagoons, and the gleam of rooftop pool tiles at golden hour. What is clear, however, is that this is the shade of summer by the sea - and all the emotions that unravel in those long, hot days. Think flowing gowns, mini dresses, jacquard lounge sets, and lots of glitter. This Monochrome Monday we're reimagining this hue across textures, silhouettes, and accessories that shimmer like seafoam and enter with a crash. Oceanus The Label | Athena Cut-out Beaded Mini Dress Equal parts sultry and sculptural, this embellished mini dress hugs the body like a second skin and glistens like sunlight hitting water. An instant showstopper for sunset parties or moonlit escapades. Be-Indie | Pomme D'Amour Cardigan and Shorts Knitted in a wave-soft jacquard, this lounge set floats between cozy and coastal. Cool as a sea breeze, it's leisurewear for landlocked mermaids. Rebel Cairo | Milky Way Knot Bag Artfully slouched and beach-found in spirit, this sculptural knot bag blends utility with otherworldly cool. A glinting gem-stone chain adds that little splash of extra. Mozari | Swirl Ring Inspired by the nautilus shell, this swirling statement ring is adorned with 35 deep sapphire stones. A wearable tidepool, crafted to mesmerise. Dima Ayad | Sleeveless Fitted Ruffle Dress Cut in luxurious satin with a fitted bodice and a flirty ruffle hem, this piece captures Caribbean Blue's duality - sharp yet soft, romantic yet structured. Pair with metallic heels and a moment of drama. Kat Von D | Dazzle Gel Eyeshadow in Cobalt Vortex This eyeshadow brings all the shimmer and none of the subtlety. Swipe on and ride the wave of the night. A Better Feeling | Arctus Glasses Architectural eyewear with a matte finish and a sea-glass tint. This is the fashion equivalent of an ice cube in a very strong cocktail, it's Curaçao on the rocks. Maison Saedi | Marie Louis A pleated tulle dream with puffed sleeves and sheer softness. Maison Saedi's gown is Caribbean Blue in couture form - ethereal, floaty, and grounded in structure. Manolo Blahnik | Maysale 50 Buckled Velvet Mules Mules are having their moment in the sun right now. First launched in '91, these iconic velvet mules are as relevant as ever. Delicate kitten heels meet bold buckles, Blahnik does contradiction in all the right ways, just like the shade they wear.
