A vibrant event once again took center stage in Madrid’s social scene, this time dedicated to one of the most prominent figures of the new generation—Luisa Bergel. Close friends, including Tamara Falcó and Teresa Urquijo, decided to surprise her on the eve of her impending motherhood. They organized a baby shower for her that guests will remember for a long time, not only for its warm atmosphere but also for a playful twist. Everyone invited, including the Marquise de Griñón and the wife of Madrid’s mayor, arrived in identical dresses.
This elegant yet slightly bold gesture became the main topic of discussion. The choice fell on a romantic dress from Tamara Falcó’s own collection for Pedro del Hierro. The white dress, adorned with a delicate blue-green floral pattern and graceful ruffles, is seen by many as a symbolic hint at the baby’s gender—Luisa and her husband Cristian Flores are expecting a son, whom they will name Pelayo. The outfit, available in the Marquise’s online store, is priced at 329 euros, making the story even more appealing to fashion and society enthusiasts.
But who is Luisa Bergel, increasingly referred to as the unofficial queen of parties and the leading hostess of the most high-profile celebrations in Sotogrande? Her name became widely known to the public thanks to her close friendship with Tamara Falcó. It was Luisa who, during her own birthday celebration in 2020, introduced the future Marchioness de Griñón to Íñigo Onieva, who would later become her husband. Despite a significant fifteen-year age difference, their bond is remarkably strong. Tamara has repeatedly admitted on social media that she considers Luisa her “little sister,” praising her intellect, beauty, wisdom, and boundless optimism.
Bergel’s talent for connecting people proved truly fateful for another one of her famous friends. She also played Cupid for Teresa Urquijo and the current mayor of Madrid, José Luis Martínez-Almeida. According to sources in journalism circles, Teresa had long admired the politician, and it was Luisa who arranged for them to meet at a wedding after first learning of her friend’s interest. It’s no surprise that Bergel took charge of organizing Urquijo’s bachelorette party in Milan, which turned out to be a lavish affair.
In recent years, Luisa Bergel has firmly established herself as a trendsetter in high society circles. Her parties—from a Game of Thrones–themed soirée in a historic castle in Cáceres to her annual summer gatherings in Sotogrande—have become headline events of the season. Last summer, at the celebration of the first anniversary of her own wedding to economist Cristian Flores, guests were amazed by the lively dancing of the mayor of Madrid. This year, at the same party, guests admired the now-pregnant Luisa and the recently new mother Teresa Urquijo. Every event she hosts is marked by flawless organization, an exquisite dinner by the pool, and dancing until dawn among close friends and fascinating new acquaintances such as actor Miguel Ángel Muñoz.
Fortunately for Luisa, sometimes she too can relax and hand over the reins to others. The surprise organized by her friends was a true gift just weeks before her due date. Judging by the happy smiles in the photos posted online, the celebration was a resounding success, once again proving that friendship and support in this circle are more than just words.
