There are fashion formulas that never miss, and Parisian style is one of them. On Monday evening, during the emotional charity gala marking 30 years of Hogar Pimpinela para la Niñez — the institution founded by Lucía and Joaquín Galán to provide a home for children in vulnerable situations— Belén Ludueña offered a masterclass in sophistication by opting for a look that directly nods to French haute couture.
The journalist demonstrated that elegance does not require excess, but rather well-structured garments, impeccable tailoring, and noble textures that speak for themselves.
Buttoned dress, tweed and pleats: the keys to María Belén Ludueña’s look
For the occasion, María Belén opted for a short, long-sleeved dress crafted in a tweed-style or miniature houndstooth weave in gray and black tones, a fabric that stands as an absolute synonym of elegance and refinement.
The dress design stands out for its waist-skimming silhouette and tailoring details:
- V-neckline and front placket: It features a vertical row of jeweled buttons running down the front, lending a subtle sparkle and a sophisticated touch.
- Pockets with contrast-flap: It has four front pockets (two at the bust and two at the hips) accented with black piping in contrast and a gleaming button detail.
- Pleated skirt: From the waist downward, the dress falls into a flared skirt with delicate pleats that add movement and a sense of freshness to the structured cut of the garment.
The perfect accessories for an unforgettable look
To complete her evening ensemble and shield herself from the winter chill with utmost distinction, the journalist paired the piece with sheer black tights and classic black patent leather stiletto heels.
As for the accessories, she chose a rigid black leather clutch with metallic hardware, and a delicate sparkling choker along with matching dangling earrings that lit up her face.
For her beauty look, she opted for loose hair parted in the middle with very natural waves, complemented by makeup focused on highlighting her smile and brightening the eyes. Undoubtedly, a masterclass in how to look impeccable, chic, and timeless at a charity gala.
