Yalitza kicked off the biggest night in Hollywood with her co-star Marina de Tavira – who wore a stunning red dress by J. Mendel. The two stars posed for the camera together, before splitting to show off their individual looks. It is set to be a big night for Yalitza who earned a nomination in the Best Actress category for her breakout role in the film. The former teacher follows Salma Hayek as the second Mexican women in history to earn a nomination for the category.
As for attending her first ceremony, the actress told HOLA! Mexico that she doesn’t have a speech prepared – she is looking forward to speaking from the heart. “I don’t have a prepared speech. Wouldn’t it be better to say something that comes from the heart at that moment,” she said. Yalitza is also looking forward to bringing the spirit of her home country to Hollywood. "I've always been proud of what I am and who I am.”
