A trending socialite highlight that quickly became a topic of lively discussion in Spanish society columns. This is exactly what happened at the christening of Marcos, the son of Blanca Llandres and Alberto Herrera, which took place last Saturday in a private and understated setting. This time, public attention was drawn not to the list of guests, but to how Blanca chose to emphasize her family connection with Lourdes Montes — even despite Lourdes’ absence from the ceremony.
Family gathering and unexpected details
According to Divinity, the christening of Marcos was held in a small family circle, a stark contrast to the couple’s lavish wedding in October last year. In the photos Blanca shared on social media, the whole family can be seen: Mariló Montero chose an elegant beige ensemble for the occasion, and posing next to her were not only the new parents, but also Rocío Crusset, Alberto’s sister, who made a special trip for the celebration. In a separate shot, Carlos Herrera appeared with his former wife, as well as Pepa Gea — the well-known radio host’s current partner. Carlos Herrera and Mariló Montero’s daughters, Paula and Sofía, were also present, underlining the family’s unity.
The main intrigue: the dress choice
However, it was precisely the absence of Lourdes Montes, wife of Fran Rivera and cousin of Blanca, that sparked new conversations. Although Lourdes did not attend the christening, her presence was felt thanks to Blanca’s outfit. For the ceremony, she chose a dress by Bimani — Laura Corsini’s brand, created in collaboration with Lourdes Montes. The model, aptly named Blanca and featuring an amber print, has already become scarce on the brand’s website. The semi-fitted dress with a square neckline and midi length was complemented by Blanca with a jacket made of the same fabric to comply with the church ceremony dress code. This choice did not go unnoticed: fans noted not only the elegance of the look but also the subtle hint of family support.
Reaction and discussion on social media
The public on social media was not stingy with compliments: “What a beautiful family”, “Congratulations on the new member of the Christian community”, “Markitos is growing”, “Such luck, such elegance” — these were the kinds of messages accompanying the photos from the christening. Yet, the underlying question remained: why didn’t Lourdes Montes appear at the family celebration? However, her contribution to the event’s atmosphere turned out to be much more noticeable than expected. As Divinity notes, the collection Lourdes presented at the end of March was intended as a universal option for spring events, including such important family dates. The dress chosen by Blanca itself became a kind of symbol of this connection.
Family traditions and society news
In the Spanish media landscape, such details rarely go unnoticed. Public gestures related to fashion and family relationships often become the subject of discussion just as much as the events themselves. Similar stories have repeatedly come into the spotlight of society columns: for example, it was recently discussed how the absence of one parent at the christening of Jeimy Báez and Yulen Pereira’s son sparked a wave of comments and speculation — the details of this case also attracted public interest. In the case of Blanca Llánderes and Lourdes Montes, the focus shifted from the question of “who attended” to “how they support each other even from a distance.”
Judging by the reaction on social media and media attention, it is precisely these nuances — choice of attire, a hint at family solidarity, a subtle play of symbols — that now create the main intrigue in Spain’s celebrity scene. And even if a close relative does not appear at a family celebration, their presence can be far more noticeable than it seems at first glance.
