Ana Maria Braga, Mariana Ximenes, Ticiana Villas Boas and Daniela Filomeno shone in creations by designer Lethicia Bronstein at the BrazilFoundation Gala 2025 in São Paulo.
Gala night celebrates 25 years of BrazilFoundation
BrazilFoundation, one of Brazil’s leading strategic philanthropy institutions, celebrated 25 years of social impact on Tuesday, December 2. The milestone was marked with a gala at Casa Fasano, in São Paulo. The event gathered prominent names from the media, culture and business sectors.
For the occasion, journalist and entrepreneur Ticiana Villas Boas, co-founder of +55design, hosted a table with a clear style code. All her guests wore dresses by Lethicia Bronstein, who was also invited by Ticiana. The looks were custom-selected for the evening.
Gold sequins and subtle animal print for Ana Maria Braga
TV host Ana Maria Braga chose a gown in fully embroidered golden fabric. The piece combines shimmering mini sequins with rubberized sequins, creating a subtle animal-print pattern. Texture and shine work together to produce a striking effect.
The long silhouette features a discreet front slit and cape-style sleeves that fall from the shoulders, adding movement and presence. A high neckline with a central opening elongates the neckline with sophistication. Overall, the dress delivers a modern, glamorous look.
Ruby red and hand-sewn scales for Mariana Ximenes
Actress Mariana Ximenes opted for a ruby-red gown, fully hand-embroidered with scale-like sequins. The dress features a halter neckline and high collar embellished with 3D applications. The completely open back reinforces the dramatic impact.
The cut lengthens the silhouette, while the A-line skirt has a discreet slit and fluid movement. The result is a modern, elegant look with strong red-carpet appeal. The intense color and rich texture helped place the actress among the night’s style highlights.
Ticiana Villas Boas in Chantilly lace and volume
As one of the evening’s hosts, Ticiana Villas Boas wore a gown with a Chantilly lace bodice, embellished with hand-applied mini sequins. The technique creates subtle transparency and sophisticated sparkle. The piece showcases the designer’s attention to detail.
The voluminous skirt is embroidered with a pattern of interlaced ribbons in earthy, green and bluish tones. The design creates a geometric, three-dimensional effect. The look balances romantic flair, artistry and visual impact.
Marsala guipure lace for Daniela Filomeno
Journalist Daniela Filomeno chose a floor-length gown in marsala guipure lace. Built using moulage techniques, the dress hugs the body with precision. A sophisticated geometric pattern creates a rhythmic, contemporary look.
With a deep V-neckline at the front and back, the piece flatters the silhouette with elegance. The design highlights the lace’s rich texture and reinforces the refined tone of the outfit. The result is a timeless, polished appearance.
Lethicia Bronstein closes the night in vibrant red
Designer Lethicia Bronstein herself appeared in a gown made from pure silk crepe georgette. The strapless bodice is adorned with hand-applied lace that stretches across the corset in organic lines. The same lace detail also finishes the hem.
A side drape creates a cascading effect that elongates the figure. In a vibrant red tone, the dress merges movement, elegance and subtle impact. The look encapsulates Lethicia’s signature style on one of the most prestigious nights of Brazil’s social calendar.
