Carla Estrada will not only support her son at the 2022 Oscars, she will also pay tribute to her mother, Maty Huitrón, with a beautiful outfit inspired by the iconic dress that she recognized actress carried in When a beautiful woman participates plaza por Madero, the memorable photo shoot of Ignacio López.
The 94th annual awards ceremony awarded by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will start less and less. For that reason, guest artists find themselves getting the last details ready to look flawless during the red carpet, gala and party. Among the Mexicans who will meet in Los Angeles are Guillermo del Toro, Carlos Estrada López and possibly Eugenio Derbez.
The young director will attend the ceremony in the company of his mother, Carla Estrada, who a few hours ago surprised his Instagram followers with images of the splendid dress he will wear on one of the most special nights for his whole family, as the project his son directed could win an Oscar for “Best Animated Film”.
In the images you can see the Mexican telenovelas production company in the last test of her dress, a black piece cinched at the waist, with sleeves, a v-neckline and a long train that will run along the red carpet. The garment was created by Mitzi, who chose to retake characteristic elements of the dress worn by Estrada's mother, making it an international icon.
It was in 1953 when Maty Huitrón was captured by the lens of Nacho López while walking between the streets of Mexico City's Historic Center. The photographer managed to capture the reaction that some men had when the actress passed in front of them; none of them could help but turn to see her.
On that occasion, the Mexican performer dazzled with her stunning beauty framed by a shoulder-length crepe hairstyle, classic of the time, a subdued makeup that accentuated her lips and a beautiful seemingly black dress that was highlighted by a V-neckline with a collar, sleeves to the middle of the arm and a skirt that exposed her narrow waist, plus a type of knot below the hip and an opening to the knee, detail that was considered too bold.
The images formed When a Beautiful Woman Departs Plaza by Madero, the photographic report that, according to the National Association of Actors (ANDA), in 1957 was awarded and exhibited in France and Germany, as well as Mexico. The image also became a postal stamp as it was considered one of the best of the 20th century and was recognized by Carlos Monsiváis in the book A ustes les consta.
Also known in the middle of the national show as The Designer of the Stars, was inspired by this dress to create a garment that will look great at the 2022 Oscars, it also has a sentimental meaning for Carla Estrada, because in a way she will take her mother to the awards, who died on January 14, 2019, days before he was 83 years old.
