The Red Carpet, present at any event worth its salt, is an indisputable synonym of glamour. And the Goya Awards, that started with 1987, could not be less. However, this precious piece of cloth has not always had the same meaning.
The first references found date back to ancient Greece. In the theater play Agamemnon, written by Squirrel. It tells how Agamemnon returns from Troy and how his wife, Clytemnestra, He received him by offering him a red path for him to follow.. Later, in the Renaissance, the red carpet became popular to represent greatness , whether on thrones or sacred representations. Later, and during the 19th century, Its use became widespread to receive heads of state and great personalities.
It won't be until 1902 when the red carpet takes on the meaning it has today. This year, The 20th Century Limited railway company began to welcome passengers arriving at New York Central Station with a large red carpet. Later, in 1922, Its use is introduced into the world of entertainment, being used in the premiere of the film Robin Hood and finally, in 1961, It became truly relevant with the first Oscars.
In our country, The red carpet has been evolving hand in hand with the Goya Awards and it was not until 1999, year in which Penélope Cruz made her appearance in a spectacular Dior, when posing on the red carpet became relevant in our country.
Next February, in the 33 edition of the Goya awards, our red carpet will mark another milestone in its history, when unrolling for the first time in Seville.
