Catrina style sweeps Mexico City's Day of the Dead parade

The Catrina look was ubiquitous on Saturday, November 1, as Mexicans and foreigners flocked to the annual Day of the Dead parade, a fixture in the capital during one of Mexico's best-known traditions.

Performers and visitors alike swanned around in the iconic skull-inspired outfits and makeup.

The parade featured hallmark elements of the annual tradition, such as orange cempasuchil (marigold) flowers, pre-Hispanic motifs and feathered costumes, popular-culture figures like the late singer Paquita la del Barrio, and a float with people using wheelchairs.

The parade followed one of the city's most important avenues, Paseo de la Reforma, to the Zocalo downtown.

Day of the Dead, or Dia de Muertos in Spanish, is a celebration to honor and welcome back the spirits of deceased loved ones.
