BarcelonaThe Goya Awards hadn't been held in Catalonia for 26 years, and their return to Barcelona was marked by a palpable sense of celebration, reflected in the fashion. Although, as is typical for these galas, black was predominant—always a safe bet for those who want to look elegant—there were some daring choices that attempted to break away from the prevailing color scheme. There was also room for political statements, with many guests accessorizing their evening wear with pins advocating for the liberation of Palestine.

Among those who embraced the most popular color of the night were two prominent names with contrasting styles. Clara Segura chose a minimalist navy blue suit by Cortana, while Laura Weissmahr went for a baroque look with a plaid dress that resembled a tablecloth, designed by Nara Carro Alonso. She accessorized with gray gloves and the ubiquitous "Free Palestine" pin.

Navy blue was also the color of choice for actress Susan Sarandon, who received the Goya International Award this year. True to her minimalist elegance, she wore an Armani suit with a top reminiscent of a tuxedo.

On the best-dressed lists of almost any gala, two Catalan names always stand out: Anna Castillo and Greta Fernández. The former opted for a navy blue Redondo Brand dress that stood out for its shimmering hem, while the latter surprised everyone with a design by the French label Jacquemus, one of her favorite brands, which she has worn to other awards ceremonies. look There was also a black top, but it was paired with a long white skirt. The outfit had a modernized Audrey Hepburn feel.

A space for sensuality

Another standout of the night was Bad Gyal, who walked the red carpet in a sensual colored dress nude wearing a Ludovic de Saint Sernin train. Basque actress Susana Abaitua also showed off her sexier side, standing out in a bottle-green Vivienne Westwood dress with a daringly high slit that revealed her leg.

Among those resisting the funereal color trend is Patricia López Arnaiz, who looked impeccable in a Loewe suit in a slightly dark buttery yellow, one of the fashionable shades.

Marc Clotet and Natalia Sánchez are one of the couples who never disappoint and always dazzle. He was one of the most daring men of the night, sporting a lead-blue suit jacket that surprised everyone with a matching but sheer shirt that offered a glimpse of his torso. His wife, for her part, chose a spectacular dress by De la Cierva y Nicolás, featuring a strapless neckline and a tiered skirt that began with a peplum.

Beyond Marc Clotet, this year's Goya Awards will be remembered as the night men dared to take more fashion risks than women. Notable examples include Miki Esparbé of Late Checkout, in a burgundy blazer and light corduroy trousers. His friend and colleague, Carlos Cuevas, also brought a look which departs from the ever-present black: a dark blue pinstriped suit jacket from Manos with a slightly tailored cut oversizeEnric Auquer and singer Leiva always deserve a place on the podium for most original outfits.
