MIAMI, Florida – The annual Premios Lo Nuestro 2025 drew significant attention this year, particularly due to the presence of singers Belinda and Ángela Aguilar, whose intertwined past with Christian Nodal provided fertile ground for public speculation and gossip. Both artists were at the Kaseya Center on February 20, showcasing their talents and dazzling fashion choices, yet their unexpected mutual avoidance on the red carpet was what truly captured the crowds.
Belinda, known for her stunning red carpet appearances, did not disappoint this time either. She wore a spectacular silver and black mermaid-cut dress by Georges Hobeika, accentuated with floral details and a shimmering gradient effect. Her look was polished off with wavy hair and subtle makeup, allowing the gown to shine without overpowering her natural beauty. A fashion commentator noted, "Belinda deslumbró en la alfombra roja," drawing praise from fans and critics alike.
Meanwhile, Ángela Aguilar turned heads with her daring outfit – a fitted dress featuring copper and magenta tones with daring cutouts at the torso. The 21-year-old singer’s new chocolate-dark hair color complimented her bold new look, which contrasted sharply with her previous shorter hairstyles. Social media exploded with both admiration and scrutiny, with one user remarking, "Su maquillaje no ayudó" as opinions varied on her style choice.
The buzz surrounding Aguilar's and Belinda’s appearance intensified due to their shared history with Nodal. Many fans eagerly anticipated their reactions upon encountering one another, especially since Nodal, Belinda's ex, was expected to attend with his wife but did not appear. This absence led to speculation on whether he avoided the scenario altogether – surely the public was eager for any hint of tension.
Despite this buildup, it seemed both stars skillfully sidestepped any encounters. During Belinda's much-lauded performance alongside Tito Double P of their hit "La Cuadrada," cameras captured Ángela making her exit from her seat not long after the show started. This moment, interpreted by many on social media as Ángela’s attempt to avoid Belinda, was underlined by the quote, "La huida de Ángela Aguilar fue tan evidente," as fans and onlookers jested about her unexpected departure.
Staying above the fray, both artists continued to impress with their musical talents throughout the night. While Ángela Aguilar later took home the award for Best Mariachi/Ranchera Song for her collaboration with Becky G and Leonardo Aguilar on the track "Por el Contrario," Belinda achieved recognition as well, winning for Best Female Collaboration with Kenia Os for "Jackpot."
Although they may have walked the same carpet at the Premios Lo Nuestro, the interplay of rivalry, past relationships, and fashion choices painted this year's event as one of the more intriguing ones. It reminded fans of the complex layers of celebrity interactions, especially when romance and competition coincidentally collide on such public platforms.
Both Belinda and Ángela Aguilar emerged from the night not only as nominees but as winners - each undeniably carving their respective places within the Latin music scene, personal dramas notwithstanding. With pressures of public opinion and past relationships hanging over their heads, the two stars showcased their grace under pressure, proving talent often speaks louder than past entanglements.
