2 August 2026

On Friday, July 31, the First Lady of Buenos Aires, María Belén Ludueña, attended the concert marking the 20th anniversary of the Korean Cultural Center, “Arirang and Tango: two hearts and one rhythm,” held at Usina del Arte. As part of the celebration, she received and accompanied the First Lady of the Republic of Korea, Kim Hea Kyung, in an encounter that highlighted the cultural ties between the two countries.

The event brought together national authorities, representatives from the cultural sector and members of the Korean community, in a day marked by music and the exchange between Argentina and South Korea.

El evento reunió a autoridades nacionales, representantes del ámbito cultural y miembros de la comunidad coreana, en una jornada marcada por la música y el intercambio entre Argentina y Corea del Sur.

For the occasion, Ludueña chose a classic and refined ensemble, ideal for an institutional engagement of a diplomatic nature. Her all-black look conveyed elegance, restraint, and timeless sophistication — a formula that remains unfailing for this type of official events.

Here’s María Belén Ludueña’s refined look

The first lady of the city wore a midi dress with an A-line silhouette, crafted in a fluid fabric that lent movement and delicacy.

The design stood out for its high neckline, long sleeves with a subtle flared effect and delicate ruffles at the cuffs, in addition to a clean and streamlined line, without prints or excessive ornaments, reaffirming the aesthetic of the quiet luxury.

To complete the ensemble, she added semi-transparent black tights, a feature that has resurfaced among the season’s top trends for its ability to elevate monochrome outfits, and black pointed-toe stilettos that added a modern touch without breaking the harmony of the look.

Para completar el conjunto incorporó medias negras semitransparentes, un recurso que volvió a posicionarse entre las principales tendencias de la temporada.

In terms of accessories, she kept the minimalist line. She wore a short pearl necklace, a classic piece that brightened the neckline, and a brooch placed on the left shoulder of the dress, a detail that reinforced the formal character of the occasion. She finished the ensemble with a simple black clutch.

A Subtle Beauty Look That Keeps Its Style

The beauty look complemented the elegant proposal. She opted for a low updo with loose strands framing the face, imparting a romantic and natural air. The makeup remained subdued, with neutral-toned shadows, radiant skin and lips in a soft shade that highlighted her features without taking away from the overall look.

With this choice, María Belén Ludueña once again demonstrated that the all-black ensemble remains one of the great allies of elegance at official events. The combination of clean lines, timeless accessories, and a monochrome palette yielded a contemporary, sophisticated look that was perfectly suited to a celebration shaped by cultural exchanges.
