Vanidades, the first and most widely read Spanish-Language Women’s lifestyle magazine in the United States and Latin America, holds a very dear place in my heart. Some of my fondest childhood memories include sitting with my mother as she flipped through the glossy pages and told me about the featured Vanidades’ women. The Vanidades woman was, and still is, one who is strong, beautiful and proud of her Latina heritage. These women inspired me to fulfill my goals and work hard in all of my future endeavors.
My excitement peaked when I was invited to attend the Vandidades Icons of Style event at the Mandarin Oriental. While the event celebrated top fashion and accessories icons with cocktails, my favorite part was planning what to wear for the event and brushing shoulders with those whom I admire for their work in the Latin community and whom continue to inspire women and young girls today.
So what did these powerful and sexy Latina women wear to the event?
They embraced simplicity and bold color in their attire or makeup choices.
