A fashionable gesture that quickly became a hot topic in Spain’s society columns. That’s 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 low-key setting. This time, public attention was focused not on the guest list, but on how Blanca chose to highlight her family bond with Lourdes Montes—even though she herself was absent from the ceremony.
Family circle and unexpected highlights
According to Divinity, Marcos’s christening was held in a close family circle, a sharp contrast to the couple’s lavish wedding last October. In photos that Blanca shared on social media, the whole family can be seen: Mariló Montero chose an elegant beige ensemble for the occasion, and posing beside her were not only the young parents, but also Rocío Crusset, Alberto’s sister, who made a special trip for the celebration. In a separate photo was Carlos Herrera, pictured with his ex-wife and also Pepa Gea—the well-known radio presenter’s current partner. Carlos Herrera and Mariló Montero’s daughters, Paula and Sofía, were also there, highlighting the family’s unity.
The main intrigue—dress choice
However, it was precisely the absence of Lourdes Montes, wife of Fran Rivera and Blanca’s cousin, that became the subject of new discussions. Although Lourdes did not attend the christening, her presence was felt thanks to Blanca’s outfit. For the ceremony, she chose a dress from Bimani—Laura Corsini’s brand—created in collaboration with Lourdes Montes. The model, aptly named Blanca, featuring an amber print, has already become scarce on the brand’s website. The dress, with its semi-fitted silhouette, square neckline, and midi length, was complemented by Blanca with a jacket made of the same fabric to honor the dress code for the church ceremony. This choice did not go unnoticed: fans noted not only the elegance of the look but also the subtle nod to family support.
Reaction and discussion on social media
The public on social media did not hold back their compliments: “What a beautiful family”, “Congratulations on the new member of the Christian community”, “Marquitos is growing”, “What luck, such elegance”—these were the comments accompanying photos from the christening. But an unanswered question remained: why was Lourdes Montes absent from the family celebration? Nevertheless, 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 designed to be versatile for spring events, including such important family occasions. The dress chosen by Blanca itself became a kind of symbol of this connection.
Family traditions and society pages
In the Spanish media environment, such details rarely go unnoticed. Public gestures related to fashion and family relationships often attract as much discussion as the events themselves. Stories like these have repeatedly become the focus of society columns: for example, it was recently discussed how the absence of one of the parents at the christening of Jeimy Báez and Yulen Pereira’s son sparked a wave of comments and speculation — the details of this case also drew public interest. In the case of Blanca Llánderes and Lourdes Montes, the emphasis shifted from the question of ‘who attended’ to ‘how they support each other even from afar.’
Judging by the reaction on social media and media attention, it is precisely these nuances — outfit choices, hints at family solidarity, subtle play with symbols — that now create the main intrigue of the Spanish society columns. And even if someone close does not appear at a family celebration, their presence can be far more notable than it seems at first glance.
