María Belén Ludueña: A Timelessly Elegant Look for a Ceremony with Pope Leo XIV

9 November 2026

On the occasion of Pope Leo XIV’s arrival in Argentina, María Belén Ludueña stood out with a sophisticated and understated style to participate in welcoming the Holy Pontiff in the City of Buenos Aires.

For the event, the journalist chose an exclusive design by Atelier Gabriel Lage in navy blue. She accompanied her husband, Jorge Macri, and posed alongside her son Vito during the welcoming ceremony to His Holiness and the handover of the keys to the City of Buenos Aires.

The centerpiece of the look was a dress with elegant lines and a structured silhouette. The design stood out for its closed round neckline, three-quarter sleeves, and a defined waist, which gave way to an A-line skirt with a fluid drape and midi length, below the knees.

The navy tone imparted a classic and distinguished imprint, in keeping with the institutional character of the meeting.

El diseño se distinguió por su cuello redondo cerrado, mangas tres cuartos y cintura marcada, la cual dio paso a una falda de corte evasé con caída fluida y largo midi, por debajo de las rodillas.

Classic Heeled Shoes and Subtle Jewelry

To complete the ensemble, Ludueña chose closed black shoes, with a medium heel and a pointed toe. A classic model that complemented the dress’s elegance and added a timeless touch to the ensemble.

Ludueña eligió unos zapatos negros cerrados, de taco medio y terminación en punta.

Regarding the accessories, she kept a discreet line, with delicate silver hoops and rings that added shine without taking away the dress’s prominence.

En cuanto a los accesorios, mantuvo una línea discreta, con delicados aros y anillos plateados que aportaron brillo sin restarle protagonismo al vestido.

Low updo and a beauty look natural

The hairstyle also complemented the sophisticated aesthetic of the proposal. The journalist wore her blonde hair in a tidy low updo, with a middle part and two front wavy strands that framed her face.

La periodista llevó su cabello rubio en un prolijo recogido bajo, con raya al medio y dos mechones frontales ondulados que enmarcaron su rostro.

For makeup, she opted for a fresh and natural finish, with dark shadows on the eyes and lips in a rosy shade. Thus, she completed a classic-leaning look, in which every detail supported the ceremony’s formality.
