It was a matter of time before fashion and trends recovered one of the star accessories in the history of fashion. They are known as 'opera gloves' and the first memory that comes to us of them is the famous scene of Rita Hayworth in Gilda to the sound of 'Put the blame on Mame'.

Long gloves were one of the status symbols of the 50s when Christian Dior and Balenciaga added them to their fashion proposals for the season. All the actresses, royalty and the aristocracy of the moment chose these elbow-length gloves to complete their event and red carpet outfits.

One of the most memorable, Grace Kelly, when she picked up her Oscar for best actress in 1955, but she never stopped wearing those long, off-white gloves in each of her black-tie looks. A style detail that has been inherited by her daughter, Carolina de Monaco, who has also worn this type of long gloves on countless occasions when she has dressed as a gala.

And that pair of off-white elbow-length gloves has been one of the accessories that Carolina de Monaco inherited from her mother and with which she has always winked at her as a tribute on multiple occasions. Balls of the Rose, weddings, official events, family tributes... Carolina has chosen to wear those gloves of her mother with long evening dresses, and also with cocktail dresses.

Now fashion returns to give them the place they should always have, since it is one of the most elegant and sophisticated accessories that exist. Affordable price stores such as Zara, Sfera, Mango already sell their long gloves to join the trend this fall winter.
