A milestone moment in New York

Starting at 6:00 p.m. ET this Monday, the world’s biggest names (models, actors, musicians, athletes, influencers, you name it) will turn the Met’s grand staircase into fashion’s most exclusive runway. Among the most anticipated appearances: Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner, Georgina Rodríguez, who is poised to cement her global stardom at what’s often dubbed the “Oscars of fashion.”

She’ll be following in the footsteps of fellow Spanish trailblazers who have left their mark on this red-carpet rite of passage: Oscar-winner Penélope Cruz, actresses Elsa Pataky and Eugenia Silva, Grammy-winner Rosalía, as well as past guests like filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar, actor Manu Ríos, and bullfighter José María Manzanares.

Georgina’s appeal transcends borders. Her hit Netflix reality series 'I Am Georgina' streams worldwide; her social-media reach tops 66 million followers; and she turns heads at Paris and Milan Fashion Weeks with the same ease she co-hosted the 2022 Latin Grammys and the 2019 MTV EMAs. From the red carpets of Cannes to Venice, her charisma is unmistakable.
