"The State of Mexico is one of the 32 federal entities of Mexico. It is the most populous, as well as the most densely populated state. It is divided into 125 municipalities and its capital city is Toluca de Lerdo." Mexico City, or México Distrito Federal (like Washington D.C.) is between Mexico state and the state of Morelos. The outfit is of course made with Aztec influences, but it is also telling us about the 'Santuario Piedra Herrada', a Monarch Butterflies Sanctuary, in Temascaltepec as well as the cultivation of sunflowers. .

Around 1.4 million Mexicans self-identified as Afro-descendants in 2015, or 1.2% of the country's population. African identity and physical features are stronger than elsewhere in Mexico in the Costa Chica ("small coast" in Spanish) which extends from Acapulco, Guerrero, to the town of Puerto Ángel in Oaxaca in Mexico's Pacific south coast. The area was very isolated from the rest of Mexico, which prompted runaway slaves to find refuge here. More recently, Lupita Nyong'o was born in Mexico city and is dual Kenyan and Mexican citizen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Mexicans. "La Costa Chica.

I think this is the closest resemblance to traditional in all these photos.

Campeche, on the Gulf of Mexico in the southeast, is one of the 31 states which make up the 32 Federal Entities of Mexico (With Mexico D.F., the City of Mexico, being the 32nd) hence the Caribbean vibe. Much of Campeche's territory is filled with various archeological sites, almost all of which are Mayan.

Durango is lying at the extreme northwest of the Central Mexican Plateau and has an average elevation of 1,775 meters above sea level, Most of the state is mountainous and heavily forested, with the Sierra Madre Occidental covering around two-thirds of the state, and most of the economy of the Sierra region revolves around forestry, Traditional agriculture is still the main economic activity for most of the population, despite only ten percent of the land being suitable for crops, and only fifteen percent being suitable for pasture. To date, over 130 films have been shot here both because of the Western-type landscapes the natural light. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durango

She's standing in front of the the Great Pyramid of Cholula, Pirámide Tepanapa, or, in the indigenous Nahuatl language, Tlachihualtepetl, or 'artificial mountain'. The structure measures 400 by 400 metres and has a total volume of 4.45 million cubic metres, almost twice that of the Great Pyramid of Giza. I've been there. The entry goes through tunnels dug by the original archeologists who explored it.

stunning costume posed before a stunning view

Very ornate outfit... simply stunning

I have a home in the Yucatan ... it's a stunning place. My criticism about this photo ... they should have either taken it from a different angle or have her change her pose ... it appears she's holding up the smoke stack.

Stunning

Are peacocks native to Mexico? Serious question.

Love the headpiece...
