Altagracia Gómez Sierra, coordinator of the Business Advisory Council of the Presidency of the Mexican Republic, drew attention at the Hispanic Inaugural Ball in Washington D.C. with a dress from the Alexander McQueen brand valued at $8,590 (178,594.69 Mexican pesos). This choice of attire generated criticism towards Gómez, adding controversy to her already contentious public image.
During the presentation of the Titan Award for Economic Reform to the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, Gómez captured the attention of those present and the cameras at the event. Her presence in this politically relevant context reveals her closeness to high-ranking officials in both Mexico and the United States, despite the criticism she has received.
The ball, which took place at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, had over 1,400 Spanish-speaking guests in support of Donald Trump's return to the White House for his second term as President of the United States. Gómez's participation and her choice of high-cost garments have triggered questions about her involvement in international events, seen as distant from the country's priorities.
Gómez's presence at conferences and galas has generated controversy, especially due to her relationship with Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum. Images and videos of her participation in the Hispanic Inaugural Ball quickly spread on social media, where she was seen attracting attention and the spotlight during Trump's celebration.
