  • Sofía Castro defended a red-shorts and white-blouse outfit that drew criticism after the premiere of “Hotel todo incluido.”
  • The actress said fashion should be fun and that she still liked the look, which paired an oversized off-the-shoulder blouse with high-waisted shorts and sheer black tights.
  • Castro is also beginning her first telenovela starring role in TelevisaUnivision’s “Tierra de amor y coraje,” in which she will play Clara opposite Emilio Osorio.

Sofía Castro is not backing down over the outfit that made her a social-media talking point. At the premiere of her new series, “Hotel todo incluido,” the actress appeared in a vibrant red pair of shorts, a white off-the-shoulder blouse and sheer black tights. The look quickly triggered debate, with many online commenters saying it did not flatter the 29-year-old actress.

Castro, however, said she continues to love the outfit. “I find it curious that a pair of shorts went viral. Honestly, I still love my look. I think fashion is for having fun. I understand that people have different opinions and tastes,” she told reporters.

She said the styling felt balanced because she does not like showing too much skin or wearing very tight clothes. “I liked it because showing my leg and being so tightly wrapped is not really for me. I’m glad it went viral,” she said.

The outfit centered on an ivory or off-white blouse with a dropped-shoulder neckline. Its oversized, billowing shape added volume to the upper half of her silhouette, while the clean, relatively fitted red shorts provided contrast. The translucent black tights gave the ensemble a more winter or evening feel and elongated the appearance of her legs.

Castro is launching two projects in the same week. Alongside “Hotel todo incluido,” she is taking on the role she has dreamed of since childhood: leading a telenovela. In “Tierra de amor y coraje,” a new TelevisaUnivision production, she will play Clara, whose path crosses with Juan, played by Emilio Osorio, in an intense and conflict-filled relationship. The period drama will combine a rural setting with stories of love, conflict and the circumstances facing its protagonists.

I liked it because showing my leg and being so tightly wrapped is not really for me. I’m glad it went viral.
