The red carpet at the 2026 Venice Film Festival remains a demanding arena for worldwide style. Among the most talked-about appearances, singer Clara Soccini wore a classic 1996 leather dress from the Trussardi archives, reinterpreting the house's legacy with a modern attitude of confidence and character: her decision was universally praised. Irina Shayk, while being a regular at the Lido, performed differently: the top model changed between a Dolce & Gabbana midi sheath dress with double side lacing and an asymmetrical black backless dress, always staying in her favored terrain of black and sensuality. However, while critics praised her austere approach, they did not call it a masterpiece. On the Italian music front, Levante was observed at the screening of "Ink" wearing a sheer skirt adorned by Giorgio Armani, a subtle tribute to the most identifiable hallmark of Made in Italy fashion. Among the leading fashion houses, Armani confirms its status as the festival's cross-sectional protagonist by dressing worldwide stars such as Chase Sui Wonders in a long black dress. The Lido is the most prestigious venue for Italian designers.
