Overview

• During the September 8 elimination gala of La Casa de los Famosos México, Montijo wore a nude, strapless 3D dress featuring a protruding metallic corset by Mexican designer Iván Ávalos.
• The sculptural corset was widely noted for its striking look and for visibly limiting Montijo’s mobility on stage.
• Stylist Jessica Marmolejo, who has been revamping Montijo’s image this season, confirmed the piece as an Ávalos original and continued her push for experimental, structural fashion.
• Social media reactions split sharply, with praise for the bold design contrasted by criticism labeling the look as “mal gusto.”
• After Peralta posted that he and Montijo share the same Ávalos belt, Montijo quipped on HOY that they do not have the same waist, and Peralta responded on September 9 with a light video clarifying he meant the same design, not the same piece.
