The President of Mexico, Enrique Peña Nieto, and his wife, soap opera actress Angélica Rivera, celebrated their last cry for independence yesterday at the Zócalo in Mexico City. For the occasion, the First Lady dazzled with a very elegant red flag dress made by the Mexican designer Alejandro Carlín, who has dressed her on past occasions. The great outfit not only garnered glances, but was also the focus of various criticisms on social media.

The question everyone is asking is, how much will the dress have cost?

Many have speculated on this question. Although we do not know exactly, the website mexicocouture.mx where the designer, who has also worked with Eva Longoria and Paulina Rubio, has his designs for sale, can give us a clue. While a designer evening gown costs over a thousand dollars, a long one like the one worn by the First Lady could even triple in quantity.

However, as the designer has made clear on his social networks, the dress was a gift that he made for Rivera especially for the occasion. “… Thank you for accepting this gift that we created with all our effort and heart for our first lady. Thank you Angelica Rivera for carrying and spreading our great work”.

There is no doubt that the beautiful design was ideal to celebrate her last national act as First Lady, but she was not spared from the negative comments and memes that netizens created. Several pointed out how uncomfortable the dress looked from the way Rivera walked and others mentioned that it did not favor her figure.

Beyond criticism, the iconic design is sure to be part of an important moment in the history of Mexico.
