Paula Chaves Defends Minimalist White Christmas Tree After Online Backlash

On her streaming program, she called the sparse white tree an 'aesthetic' choice, 'a work of art'.

Overview

  • Chaves shared Instagram stories on Dec. 8 showing a thin, white tree with rice lights, roughly 13 ornaments, and her children’s letters under it.
  • Users on X posted harsh comments and memes criticizing the look and festive spirit, with some saying the decorations resembled car air fresheners.
  • Critics focused on her children, arguing the austere display could dampen holiday excitement for Olivia, Baltazar, and Filipa.
  • Responding live on Tapados de Laburo, Chaves said she intentionally chose a simple, unconventional style, describing it as 'aesthetic' and 'a work of art'.
  • La Nación noted memes included unflattering comparisons tied to Olga, and reported that Pedro Alfonso has not commented on the flap.
