Ticiane Pinheiro, a renowned Brazilian TV personality, stole the spotlight at the inaugural Vogue Brasil Día de Muertos Gala. The star-studded event, held on November 6th at the Palácio dos Cedros in São Paulo, celebrated the rich traditions of Mexican culture and fostered a vibrant exchange between different artistic and cultural realms.
The gala, presented by Don Julio tequila, brought together a dazzling array of guests from the worlds of fashion, art, and entertainment. Amidst the elegance of the occasion, Ticiane shed light on her carefully curated look. “My stylist, Fabiana Leite, and I collaborated on a sophisticated yet modern ensemble for this Vogue event,” she shared. The chosen piece for the night was a creation by designer Débora Mangabeira, and Ticiane opted for a clean aesthetic, complemented by impeccable, sophisticated makeup. “I didn’t go all out with a costume for the party, but I preferred a gala-style look, something well-dressed,” she explained.
The conversation took an unexpected turn when Ticiane revealed a recent prediction from a tarot reader. “I learned that a tarot reader foresaw me getting pregnant in 2025,” she shared with a subtle smile. “She said it would be a boy. And, believe it or not, she even advised me to plan the child for a Tuesday or Saturday,” she added, laughing.
When asked about her plans to expand her family, Ticiane, who is married to César Tralli and shares a daughter, Manuella, with him, remained calm and optimistic. “If God wills it,” she said, without rushing. “I don’t have frozen eggs or any concrete plans, but if it’s God’s will, it will happen. If God wills it, let it come,” she concluded, leaving the anticipation hanging in the air.
The vibrant tradition of Mexican culture, which blends indigenous beliefs with Catholic influences, unites various rituals to commemorate, between November 1st and 2nd, the cycle of life and death. At the heart of this celebration lie altars adorned with photographs, personal mementos, and a variety of foods specially prepared for the occasion. These altars serve as a welcoming gateway for spirits returning to the world of the living to strengthen their family bonds. Meanwhile, the colorful calaveras, or sugar skulls, represent a joyful approach to mortality, reminding the living that death is a natural part of life.
