Vogue World 2026: Milano transformed Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II into a five-act celebration blending fashion, music and sport. Yahoo reported that tennis stars Aryna Sabalenka and Lorenzo Musetti swapped competition gear for couture, with Sabalenka glowing in a sparkling Gucci gown and Musetti escorting Jennifer Lopez down the runway. The September 22 event highlighted Italian craftsmanship through archival designs and living legends.
Tennis Champions Embrace Italian Haute Couture
The Big Lead reported that Aryna Sabalenka and Lorenzo Musetti performed at Vogue World Milano, trading their usual tennis attire for designer pieces. Sabalenka, the 28-year-old Belarusian star, wore a sparkling Gucci creation that held extra weight: she has served as Gucci's global brand ambassador since January. Musetti, the 24-year-old Italian, escorted Glam Sham's noted guest Jennifer Lopez in her dramatic black Dolce & Gabbana gown. Both athletes are scheduled to return to tournament competition beginning September 30.
Pamela Anderson Returns to Full Glamour After Years Without Makeup
Pamela Anderson, known for abandoning makeup in 2023, made a striking departure for Vogue World. Yahoo reported the 59-year-old actress arrived in a gold Ferragamo gown paired with a smoky eye, pink lips and platinum Old Hollywood waves. Anderson previously called her makeup-free choice "freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious." Her glam pivot remains personal rather than a political statement, she clarified. The look proved she can command a room either way.
Opening Act Honors Handcrafted Italian Fashion Heritage
Singer Ejae opened the show wearing an archival Roberto Capucci gown paired with a Dolce & Gabbana choker featuring a gold-and-pearl cross. The artisanal first act evoked fashion "before electricity and before industrialization," according to creative director Juan Costa. Capucci trained as a sculptor before opening his atelier before age 20, becoming a leading postwar Italian designer alongside Valentino Garavani and Emilio Pucci. The ceremonial mood reinforced the event's tribute to Italy's unmatched design legacy.
Italian Cinema and Office Siren Aesthetics Close the Show
Aryna Sabalenka returned in Act III, performing in the "Made in Italy" tribute to Italian cinema before closing the finale with Umberto Tozzi's "Gloria." Actress Simone Ashley embodied the "office siren" aesthetic in a mocha-brown Tod's pinstripe suit styled with loafers and layered accessories. The five-act structure wove together Italy's contributions across fashion, cinema, sport and music. Each performer showcased how contemporary stars embrace luxury while honoring national heritage and craftsmanship.
