Thalia has given “Marimar” fans a nostalgic treat as she brought back her iconic character back to life, donning the original dress she wore in the Mexican telenovela.
The Mexican singer-actress wore the same floral dress that she wore as Marimar and styled her hair like the character while she frolicked by the beach, as seen on her Instagram page last Monday, Aug. 1.

Thalia showed her transformation into Marimar in another Instagram post, also last Monday. She curled her hair into the character’s signature beach waves and applied tanning make-up and lotion to re-create Marimar’s sun-kissed look.
She then reenacted the opening sequence of “Marimar,” which featured her lying on the beach and drawing a heart shape in the sand.

“MariMar,” which first premiered in 1994, follows the story of a young woman living in a hut who falls in love with a rich man named Sergio. It has since been adapted by GMA Network in 2007, with Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes portraying Marimar and Sergio.
“Marimar” was among the Mexican telenovelas starring Thalia that aired in the Philippines, alongside “Rosalinda,” “Maria Mercedes” and “Maria la del Barrio.”
Remakes for the three other series were also made in the Philippines, starring Carla Abellana for “Rosalinda,” Erich Gonzales for “Maria la del Barrio” and Jessy Mendiola for “Maria Mercedes.” /ra
