Quinceañera, the celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday, marking her passage from girlhood to womanhood. The quinceañera is both a religious and a social event that emphasizes the importance of family and society in the life of a young woman. It is celebrated in Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean, as well as in Latino communities in the United States and elsewhere. Here: Estefani Linares poses during a photo session for her quinceanera celebration amid the coronavirus in Havana, Cuba, July 15, 2020. Cuban girls are turning face masks into a fashion accessory for their quinceanera photoshoots, designing them to match their 15th birthday party outfits – both out of safety concerns and to show how they came of age during the coronavirus pandemic.
