One more year, Cristina Pedroche has given a lot to talk about with her dress for the Chimes. The presenter surprised on New Year's Eve with a biodegradable piece by Paula Ulargui composed of 80% water. Despite the original premise behind the model, there are already those who have claimed that the design is plagiarism.

Cristina Pedroche, accused of plagiarism for her dress for the 2023 Chimes

The dress worn by Pedroche was short-sleeved and mixed light blue with transparent areas. As some users on X (formerly Twitter) have pointed out, the model looks a lot like a Joanna Prazmo design that Becky G wore in Variety magazine. "Pedroche always plagiarizing dresses from previous years and of course, this one was also worn by Becky G in 2022. What crappy plagiarism!" said one netizen on the social network.

"All the dresses that Cristina Pedroche has worn have been plagiarized by other designers. So I'm not surprised that this year they stole the design from someone else," reads another post.

"When you order it on Aliexpress and it arrives...," joked another netizen, comparing the American singer's design to the communicator's dress.

"Pedroche's nonsense. As always, much better the cape than the costume he wears. She can vindicate climate change perfectly with a dress made of sustainable fabrics without being horrific and on top of that always a copy of another," said one Twitter user.

Before generating controversy with her aquatic dress, on New Year's Eve 2022 she was also accused of plagiarism. On that occasion, he appeared in a large cape in tribute to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency. Underneath this garment was hidden a top that emulated a dove of peace, the work of the sculptor Jacinto de Manuel, and a long skirt.

Creator Miguel Adrover, winner of the National Fashion Design Award, accused Pedroche of copying one of his designs, since in 2003 he launched a tunic dress with a blue background with the United Nations flag printed in white. "A tribute, plagiarism or ignorance. You decide which of these three words defines the dress worn by influencer Cristina Pedroche at the farewell of the year on television," the author wrote on Instagram.

Likewise, there were also those who pointed out that the top in the shape of a dove of peace looked very similar to a design by Yves Saint Laurent, a model worn by Carla Bruni in 1998.

The comparisons did not stop there, because some users stressed on Twitter that the crop top looked very similar to another model worn by India Martínez in a video clip published in 2019.

Even Susana Estrada, muse of the years of the unveiling, recalled that in 1980, when she released the album Acaríciame, she posed for its cover covering her chest with a dove of peace.

To say goodbye to 2018, Pedroche opted for a floral bikini model, created by Tot-Hom that also included a tulle train. Again, comments about possible plagiarism resurfaced. "Hey, I'm sure someone thought of it before me but... La Pedroche's dress is exactly the same as the one in an Yves Saint Laurent bridal collection worn by Laetitia Casta," read a Twitter post.

On New Year's Eve 2017 she wore a lace jumpsuit from Pronovias and the piece looked very similar to one by the Canarian designer Joshua Velázquez, winner of the third edition of Masters of Couture. "I didn't copy anything, I made this dress seven years ago, four years before the Chimes," the author clarified.

Accusations of plagiarism against the presenter also surfaced in 2016, the year she opted for a bodysuit with Pronovias stars. This garment had many similarities with a Mister Pearl creation, a design already worn by Helena Christensen in the 90s.
