Bridal dress and ready to succeed: Nieves Álvarez emotionally receives the Grand Cross of Dos de Mayo

Nieves Alvarez (50) has been awarded this Thursday with the Great Cross of the Second of May along with Rudy Fernández, Camela, the Telefónica firm, Rayo Vallecano, among the 15 people and entities. For the event, the Madrid native has chosen a design made in Spain by The 2nd Skin Co: an asymmetrical dress bathed in ivory tone, with a straight cut and midi length with draping in the waist area, with a short-sleeved and cape-style top.

The model has been applauded by the public who was at the Royal Post Office, where she has gone accompanied by her parents; her partner, Bill Saad; and her little daughter, Bianca. She collected the award from the Madrid president, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, and, on the verge of bursting into tears, she shared a few words of gratitude to the guests, around 650 people.

“They have been working for many years and it is a profession in which this type of institutional recognition is often They are not usually considered, so that they have had that mention for a profession that is also very important within the fashion industry,” said the presenter, who declared that it was “very exciting” to receive “the call last week”.

Álvarez has dedicated this award to his family, although he also wanted to recognize his own merits: “To them who have always been by my side, but now sitting here I said ‘Nieves, you deserve it’ and I thought about everything I have fought for to be here today.

“It comes to me at a very magical moment. Above all, it is the recognition of all the work After many years of effort, you don’t get to the top if it isn’t with daily work,” he noted.
