Daniella Pineda, attending the National Hispanic Media Coalition Impact Awards, presented a masterclass in modern goth glamour—a look both dramatic and refreshingly pared-back (a delicate balancing act, to be sure).
Some red carpet looks are statements; others are quiet conversations. Daniella Pineda’s appearance at the National Hispanic Media Coalition Impact Awards Gala on June 6, 2025, fell into the latter camp, but with an intriguing, gothic whisper. She didn’t rely on theatrics or a riot of color, instead opting for a beautifully draped black gown that felt both timeless and utterly of the moment.
The dress—a deep, plunging V-neckline framed by soft, gathered folds—exuded a subtle drama. The fabric, seemingly a matte silk or crepe, hugged her form without being restrictive, flowing into a graceful column silhouette. The striking element was the wide, belted sash tied at her waist, creating a sculptural bow and cinching the look with an almost ceremonial gravity. It was a detail that elevated the simple black dress into something far more considered, hinting at a modern romanticism.
Her styling was equally deliberate. Pineda wore her dark hair down in a cascade of soft waves, a choice that felt effortless and a little undone, providing a perfect counterpoint to the gown’s structured elegance. Her makeup was clean and luminous, with a strong brow and a hint of a smoky eye that deepened the romantic mood. The only flash of color came from a crimson manicure and a smattering of rings on her fingers, adding a final, subtle punctuation mark to the ensemble.
