Wow, I was speechless when I first saw the pictures of the Queen, she looks beautiful! Her dress was amazing. By the way, did anyone else notice that Hillary Cliton wore the same dress that she wore when the King and Queen were President Clinton's guest at the White House?

I hadnt noticed. you have a good memory. that is amazing! i'm sure she did it on purpose.

[zarzuela]

Among other guests at the gala were Anna Wintour, Liza Minelli and Karolina Kurkova... I guess it was a big event for the NY socialites.

Anna is dating/engaged/married to Enrique Iglesias, Julio's oldest son.

 

[pollyemma]

Anna is dating/engaged/married to Enrique Iglesias, Julio's oldest son.

ah, i see. for some reason (i dont know why ) i'm thinking that this Miranda is not Enrique's mother.

 

[purple_platinum]

The Queen look marvelous... i can't believe she's a grandmother of 7.
wow...

btw, is the gold medal recipient, Beatriz Santo-domingo somehow related to Tatiana Santo-Domingo, Andrea Casiraghi of Monaco's girlfriend? or they just have the same last name?

No, she is not his mother. The first wife of Julio Iglesias was Isabel Preysler, a woman very known in Spain (after she married with a Marquess, and a minister), is one of the most elegant women of the country, if you did not see it either you would think that she is his mother.
