All eyes are on Milan. Throughout this week, the Italian city has been the scene of the proposals for the next spring-summer 2024 season of the country’s major brands, but it has also become the home of top-level international stars for a few days. They are ambassadors of the brands, references of their aesthetics and essence or friends of the designer who attend the catwalks and the exclusive parties organized within the framework of fashion week to serve as speakers of what is happening there.
The Prada show was a hive of trends and also celebrities. Scarlett Johansson, Emma Watson, and Chiara Ferragni, along with her husband, the singer Fedez, were some of the familiar faces at the Miucca Prada and Raf Simons event. But if anyone was received with shouts of enthusiasm and even tears, it was Rosalía. The reappearance of the Catalan singer at the doors of the Prada Foundation, missing from the public sphere since her breakup with fellow singer Rauw Alejandro, has been the most talked about in the fashion week circuit, days that closed yesterday. doors with the Giorgio Armani fashion show. The Motomami and Despechá artist returned to the spotlight on Thursday with an updated outfit consisting of a shirt, knitted vest and long skirt, obviously signed by Prada, and accompanied in the front row by her friend, the billionaire businesswoman and influencer Kylie Jenner.
The Gucci show was another of the places with the most media faces of the week. Hollywood was personified in Sabato de Sarno’s debut through a spectacular front row that was led by performers Julia Roberts and Ryan Gosling, rare regulars on this circuit. The Italian luxury brand made headlines for revising its classics, but also for making possible the image of model Kendall Jenner and singer Bad Bunny together.
Sharon Stone stole the show at Walter Chiapponi’s last show for Tod’s. Dressed in a camel leather skirt and vest, the protagonist of Basic Instinct or The Specialist was the maximum expression of the sophisticated essence that Tod’s seeks to convey with its designs.
Beyond playing an important role in the main seats of the shows, attracting the press, at the brands’ parties and being part of the street style of the Milanese city, some celebrities have also taken to the catwalk. This is the case of the iconic top model Claudia Schiffer, who, despite being officially removed from the catwalks, became the big star of the Versace show. A reference in the nineties, the German closed the Donatella Versace catwalk with a spectacular dress with a diamond print and large mint rosettes.
At the private party after the show, the Italian brand went back to the golden age of the catwalks, the 1990s, thanks to its stellar list of VIPs. In addition to having Schiffer, the presence of actor Leonardo DiCaprio was surprising, who, like Jenner, also became the media focus of the night and starred in the Italian tabloids the day after when he appeared at the end of the party with his new girlfriend. As confirmed by the Page Six newspaper, the 48-year-old interpreter is in a relationship with the Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, 25, after ending his courtship with Camila Morrone, also a model and actress, in August 2022.
