The origin or meaning of the band's name is unclear – roux is the French male form of "redhead" or "red stuff", while la is the French female.
Elly Jackson cites David Bowie, Annie Lennox and the 80s film star Molly Ringwald as her influences. She wears vintage tailored jackets and winklepickers, topped off by a chopped bob of red hair.
In some interview they asked: How much hair product do you think you use a month to get hair as awesome as yours? Oh, wow, I don’t know. In a month, usually one can of mousse, intense mousse. You don’t need much wax but there’s that, and also very strong hairspray.
