Sofía Gonet Debuts Bald-Cap Homage to Martitegui on MasterChef Celebrity

Multiple outlets confirmed the shaved look was a temporary prosthetic used for a character turn that drew praise from the panel.

Overview

  • Gonet entered the January 7 Telefe broadcast appearing bald, prompting on-air surprise from host Wanda Nara and the judges.
  • On camera she said the look was a tribute to Germán Martitegui, with nods to Moria Casán and the TV persona Furia.
  • Reports specified the effect was a latex bald cap with makeup rather than an actual head shave, with her hair underneath.
  • Tying the performance to the episode’s theme, she presented a dish under the “soberbia” concept and earned a spot on the balcony.
  • Social media reactions ranged from praise to speculation about authenticity, and Gonet has continued to frame it as an homage.
