Milan Fashion Week kicked off with the grand Vogue World: Milano show, held in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II — one of the most recognizable architectural symbols of Italy's fashion capital. The event brought together Hollywood actresses, supermodels of both new and old generations, music stars, and representatives of leading fashion houses. According to Style.news.am, Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, and Alicia Keys took the runway as part of the show, turning the presentation into a full theatrical performance rather than a mere collection showcase. This evening became the starting point of the entire Milan Fashion Week and set the tone for the whole season.
Jennifer Lopez: a Dolce & Gabbana ball gown and a tribute to Fellini
One of the most theatrical moments of the evening belonged to Jennifer Lopez. The singer chose a black Dolce & Gabbana ball gown featuring a beaded corset and a voluminous semi-sheer skirt. The look was completed with long gloves, pointed-toe shoes, and a sleek hairstyle that emphasized the strictness of the silhouette. However, the outfit was only part of the performance: J.Lo later joined the staging and danced in an act set in the atmosphere of Federico Fellini's cult film "La Dolce Vita." Thus, Dolce & Gabbana did not simply dress a star — they wove her into a narrative referencing the golden era of Italian cinema.
Monica Bellucci and Dakota Johnson: two takes on total black
Monica Bellucci once again proved that an all-black outfit does not have to be understated. The foundation of her look was a velvet trench with a textured pattern reminiscent of a leopard print — a choice that added boldness and texture. The actress completed the look with sheer tights, high-platform shoes, and black sunglasses. Particular interest in her appearance was heightened by the fact that Bellucci watched the show from the front row: it was her daughter Deva Cassel who took the runway that evening. Dakota Johnson, by contrast, bet on layering: Valentino presented her with a loose cape jacket with a deep neckline, short shorts, and sheer capris with lace trim. The look was finished with a miniature chain-strap bag, a necklace, and black open-toe shoes with bows. A separate accent was the actress's new hairstyle — long hair with a thick straight fringe.
Naomi Campbell, Heidi Klum, and Pamela Anderson: icons in new interpretations
Naomi Campbell opted for an all-black Chanel look: a textured ensemble of an oversized long jacket and a copper skirt with raw edges. Large black glasses, drop earrings, and pointed-toe shoes completed the outfit, while a notable accent was her long hair with an ombre effect. Heidi Klum appeared in a black lace dress by Greek designer Sella Kritarioti: the handcrafted gown combined sheer mesh, intricate lace, and strategically placed appliqués, while the fitted silhouette and semi-transparent texture made the dress one of the evening's boldest looks. Pamela Anderson chose a glossy Ferragamo outfit in an olive-silver shade with a loose silhouette, voluminous draping, and a long dark hem that created contrast. A massive gold necklace, bracelets, a Hollywood-wave hairstyle, and striking eye makeup gave the look a retro mood.
The young generation and the male perspective: from Mikey Madison to Jason Momoa
Mikey Madison, star of the film "Anora," bet on a rich color: a short tomato-red satin Vivienne Westwood dress with elbow-length sleeves. The minimalist silhouette, soft draping, and bright lipstick created a look in the spirit of Italian movie divas. Hunter Schafer chose a Prada ensemble — a silver-grey cropped top with a square neckline and a black midi skirt with a drawstring waist, decorated with voluminous bead embroidery; the look was completed with sheer tights featuring a floral pattern and a large black bag. Among the men, Jason Momoa stood out in a light-pink textured suit: under the jacket — a simple light-grey tank top, while the ensemble was finished with colored-lens glasses, a minimalist pendant, and brown loafers with contrasting light accents.
Contradictory data
No significant discrepancies in the factual details of the event were found in the provided sources. The main WAVE (RBC.UA) material and the Style.news.am publication agree on the key facts: the location — the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the format — the Vogue World: Milano show, and Jennifer Lopez's participation on the runway is confirmed by both sources. The difference lies only in the scope of coverage: the Armenian resource emphasizes the runway participation of Cardi B and Alicia Keys, while the Ukrainian material focuses on the visual looks of the guests. Additional context from Focus.ua and "Kommersant" (Lopez's divorce and Bellucci's breakup with Tim Burton) does not contradict the description of the event but falls outside the thematic coverage of the show.
