En el caso del vestuario de asunción de la nueva alcaldesa del Distrito Nacional, @carolinamejiagomez , hay tres mensajes en su decisión. - El primero es el obvio: al ser la primera mujer en ocupar ese puesto en la historia de la ciudad, al usar ese enterizo está afirmando que está al mismo nivel que el género opuesto, pero que va a hacer las cosas a su manera. Aunque vi al usuario de Twitter @badromants diciendo que el mensaje era que era una mujer "empantalonada", yo lo veo más allá: el pantalón ya no es una metáfora exclusivamente masculina. ¿Y todavía más allá? Mirenle el ángulo marcadísimo de los hombros a ese enterizo: a eso le llamo yo una señal de tener una buena cabeza sobre los hombros. - El segundo me emociona: Mejía pudo haber comprado su atuendo de cualquier diseñador global, por el tema del prestigio tradicional que tienen las marcas extranjeras. Sin embargo, optó por el nuevo prestigio: apoyar lo que el Distrito Nacional produce. Le pedimos a nuestros gobernantes que amen a su país y a su ciudad tanto como los amamos nosotros. El hecho de que Carolina haya escogido un enterizo de la diseñadora dominicana Oriett Domenech, con mascarilla combinada, nos lo comunica de una forma rapidísima. Ella aprecia lo que puede hacer su ciudad, y con eso nos está diciendo que va a trabajar para que la ciudad apoye a los ciudadanos que vivimos en ella y de ella. - El tercero es más amplio: Michelle Obama utilizaba la visibilidad de su posición como primera dama para elevar las carreras de los diseñadores emergentes estadounidenses. En República Dominicana, la única oportunidad de que figuras conocidas pudieran hacer esto era a través de la pasarela del Soberano, una vez al año. Y ahora entonces vemos a Carolina Mejía haciendo de un acto político un acto económico, como lo hacía Obama. Que esto nos sirva de lección a todos los que tenemos el privilegio de tener algo de visibilidad: ningún momento es demasiado pequeño como para dar un mensab

“The idea of this digital fashion week is to have something a bit different from a normal fashion week,” Carlo Capasa, the president of the Camera della Moda, told Vogue. “It’s something we thought of specially for the digital world.”

While this new format might be disappointing for both brands and the audience, the virtual show may allow for more creativity.

“Everybody can decide their own message. The advantage is that, in a digital world, you are completely free. You find your way of expression,” Capasa said.

Milan will be the second city on the major fashion circuit to adopt a digital-only model, following the news last month about London Fashion Week also going virtual.

Georgina Rodriguez closes out the year with family time, public appearances

  • Partner of Ronaldo shares photos of Christmas, holidays
  • Speculation they will celebrate New Year’s Day in the UAE

DUBAI: Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez has been marking the end of the year with family in the region, sharing moments from public appearances alongside her longtime partner, Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as quieter holiday time together.

One of those appearances included her attendance at the Globe Soccer Dubai Awards 2025, where she showed her support for Ronaldo alongside his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.

The footballer was awarded Best Middle East Player 2025, marking his third consecutive win in the category.

For the ceremony, Rodriguez opted for a sleek, body-skimming black evening gown featuring a high neckline and long fitted sleeves, detailed with subtle, evenly spaced embellishments.

She wore her hair long and straight, pairing the look with soft, glowing makeup. The ensemble was completed with statement diamond jewelry, including stud earrings, a sparkling watch and her large oval-cut engagement ring.

Now in its 16th edition, the Globe Soccer Awards ceremony was held at Atlantis The Royal. Ronaldo received the award from Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, chairman of the Dubai Sports Council.

After accepting the trophy, Ronaldo said he was focused on continuing his career and adding to his achievements.

“I want to carry on going. You know what my goal is. I want to win more trophies and I want to reach the number that you all know,” he said. “I will reach that number for sure, if there are no injuries, inshaAllah.”

Currently on 956 career goals following a recent brace against Al-Akhdoud, Ronaldo is now 44 goals away from reaching the 1,000-goal milestone.

Ahead of the event in the UAE, fan spotted Rodriguez with Ronaldo in a casual moment walking at Atlantis. She wore jeans paired with a black top, leather jacket, beige hat and black heels.

The model also shared a short video offering a glimpse into how she celebrated Christmas, showing an intimate, family-focused gathering at home.

The family — including Ronaldo, Rodriguez, Ronaldo Jr., Eva Maria, Mateo, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda — wore matching pajamas and were seen dancing together toward the Christmas tree in the clip.

Fans are still waiting to see where the family will celebrate New Year’s Eve, after spending the occasion in Dubai last year. This has led to speculation that they may remain in the city for the celebrations.
