Overview
- Fátima Florez was invited by Stephanie Lamelas to provide the closing act at the U.S. embassy reception held at Palacio Bosch for the United States' 250th anniversary, performing as Liza Minnelli and singing "New York, New York."
- Her number received sustained applause and was described by Florez in on-the-record comments as a comfortable, successful conclusion to the diplomatic event.
- President Javier Milei attended the reception, a detail reported as an unprecedented attendance by a sitting Argentine president at the embassy's official residence, and he reportedly spoke with Florez after the show to congratulate her.
- Florez told reporters she had just returned from professional trips to Miami and New York tied to World Cup–related appearances and said she plans to travel to Paraguay next for another performance.
- The event underscores how cultural programming at diplomatic receptions can shape public optics, linking a high-profile entertainer's international career to Argentina's political and social visibility.
