The Second Vice President of the Government of Spain and Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Díaz , has once again been the center of attention, this time due to her peculiar choice of clothing at a recent press conference.
The outfit, consisting of a white shirt with an untied bow tie, a short grey skirt and black tights , has divided opinions on social media, where there has been no shortage of criticism and praise.
Diaz, known for her eclectic style and interest in fashion, has repeatedly stood out for challenging traditional dress codes in politics.
In the past, she has opted for masculine looks, such as suits and ties, a decision that image experts say is intended to break with gender norms and project a modern and disruptive image. However, some analysts warn that these stylistic choices could detract from the political messages she is trying to convey.
Reactions to clothing
Social media has become the main stage for debate. While some consider Yolanda Díaz’s look to be ‘modern and fresh’, others have described it as inappropriate for the formal context of a press conference.
Criticisms such as “At 53 years old and being a minister, you can’t dress like a manga comic” have gone viral, as have comparisons with styles more associated with younger times.
On the other hand, her defenders applaud her authenticity and her ability to defy stereotypes. “It’s admirable that she remains true to herself no matter the criticism,” commented one Twitter user, now known as X.
However, the controversy has overshadowed the key issues that Díaz intended to highlight in her speech, such as the reduction of the working day and the increase of the minimum wage, fundamental proposals within her political agenda.
