Cristina Pedroche capped the year as the final guest on a Thursday episode of the show, bringing a burst of color to the studio and the conversation. On a week when Pablo Motos took a break, Alberto Chicote stepped in to host on Antena 3, guiding viewers through the familiar format of The Chimes and inviting reflections on fashion, timing, and screen presence. Pedroche used her appearance to share practical tips for what to wear on New Year’s Eve, offering guidance in front of the iconic Puerta del Sol clock and its tradition of announcing the stroke of midnight.
The discussion touched on the nature of the dress itself, with a plan that included visible transparency but kept in balance with the moment’s decorum. Around one hundred attendees were noted in the studio, capturing a sense of intimate anticipation rather than fanfare. Pedroche spoke with assurance about how the year has shaped opinions on style, suggesting that this was the year many people understood the mood and preferences of the moment, even as a few leaned toward a touch of extra excitement and personal flair when picturing the finished look. She also acknowledged the reactions that often accompany public statements about self-perception, expressing calm about the response and emphasizing personal confidence developed through effort and self-awareness. She described how she maintains a positive self-view, explaining that at thirty-four she still feels strong, comfortable in her skin, and committed to her own image. The sentiment reflected a broader message about self-acceptance and the work behind it, inviting listeners to consider how personal growth translates into everyday decisions about appearance.
Pedroche also revealed that she would consider participating in a request she has faced repeatedly in her career. When Motos probed whether the inquiry involved undressing, she replied that there is more to the concept than mere fabric exposure. She explained that the evolution over the years has shifted from straightforward fashion statements to artful expression, indicating that the project is about concept and interpretation rather than a single, sensational aim. Her preference for keeping certain details private was clear, signaling a thoughtful approach to boundaries while still exploring creative possibilities in a performance context.
In a lighter moment, Motos offered a conjecture about a prehistoric impulse for body art, suggesting that tribes once painted themselves as a form of social signal. Pedroche responded with a playful gesture, hinting at the joke without giving away specifics, and noted that Motos is a savvy interviewer who understands her well. The exchange underscored a dynamic between the two that blends humor with a shared sense of timing and showmanship, reinforcing the idea that the red carpet and television stage can be spaces for both style and wit. Attendees and viewers alike were reminded of the long-standing rhythm of live television, where fashion, personality, and conversation intersect in real time, creating something memorable beyond the moment.
