According to the Daily Mail, despite the criticism, Rodríguez defended her outfit, linking it to faith and family.

She wrote:

“This look is inspired in my devotion to the V. of Fátima,” adding that hidden embroidery included the phrase: “Donde ella está, el alma encuentra refugio.”

She also described the rosary as a “private prayer” and said the design reflects how “faith, like art, can be expressed through form, detail, and emotion.”
