Bells are now almost incomprehensible without the mystery of the dress. Cristina Pedroche. The Madrid host marks a decade of New Year’s Eve appearances by greeting the clock at Puerta del Sol on Antena 3, continuing a tradition she began years ago, except for the first year on La Sexta. And as always, the dress she wears becomes a central talking point, perhaps even the most anticipated element of the night.
Always full of surprises and constantly pushing boundaries, Pedroche has kept details about tonight’s dress under wraps. “The concept and the overall plan are there, of course. But some touches are still missing,“ the presenter on Zapeando explained. “Everything is thought through, yet when you try it on, you realize something is missing.” “They may have to bring in pieces from somewhere else; I’m missing a few batteries,“ she added, noting that the dress is alive in its own way and features elements that move.
The competition for attention this year is stiff, as rival networks have invested heavily to outdo each other. Notable showdowns come from La 1 and 3Cat. Public television in Spain blends tradition with novelty. For the familiar ritual, the channel again turned to a trusted face, Ramon Garcia, to anchor the Campanadas. Garcia will not be alone, however, as he will share the stage with a younger generation of artists who are among the country’s most followed stars. Ana Mena is one such prominent figure, bringing a strong social media presence and broad appeal. Joining them is the Malaga-born artist Jennifer Hermoso, a top name in sports who has generated extensive media chatter this year. Pedroche’s and Mena’s first pairing is with Laura Escanes, who first appeared on Catalan television and has since explored new opportunities, including another Campanadas appearance on 3Cat. Escanes, widely followed on Instagram, will be joined by Miky Núñez, a former Eurovision contestant who represented Spain in 2019. The combined effort aims to draw in younger audiences from Catalonia and beyond.

INFORMATION
Will Ana Mena and Laura Escanes compete? Cristina Pedroche? Will they take bold risks with their outfits or opt for a more classic evening dress? What seems clear is that both newcomers have reportedly chosen the same designer, Ze García, who has collaborated with them on major events. The fashion mystery will remain until the night of December 31st when the curtain rises on Campanadas.
Cristina Pedroche’s Bells dress
Tradition dictates that the image of Dabiz Muñoz’s wife be part of the year-end look, and last year’s dress continues to cast a long shadow. The chef wore the dress Pedroche wore the previous year, featuring a sheer skirt and a dove of peace motif draped over the chest, signaling a blend of elegance and symbolic meaning.
“My favorite part of Christmas is the anticipation of the fashion moment for New Year’s Eve. For ten years, Cristina Pedroche has been the focal point, raising the bar and challenging herself to live up to the hype,“ commented Dabiz Muñoz in a reflective Instagram post about the tradition and the pressure to outdo past appearances.

But as many will notice, the chef also appears to have coordinated his sleeves with the white tone of last year’s outfit. There is playful irony in the resonance of their fashion choices, and observers are invited to compare the three published photos to decide which look they prefer.
