Romana Maggiora Vergano’s red carpet look fused nude minimalism with graphic tension—like Bauhaus met ballet at the 82nd Venice Film Festival.
There’s something thrilling about a dress that doesn’t just flatter—it provokes. At the premiere of The Valley of Smiles during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Romana Maggiora Vergano stepped onto the red carpet in a look that felt like a visual paradox: soft yet structured, romantic yet futuristic.
In a sea of sequins and safe silhouettes, Vergano’s ensemble offered a welcome jolt. It was the kind of dress that makes you pause—not because it’s loud, but because it’s smart.
The gown featured a nude-toned skirt that flowed with understated grace, paired with a sheer bodice woven in geometric patterns of blush pink and black. The interplay of transparency and structure created a layered visual effect—almost like stained glass refracted through a fashion lens. Black strap detailing added architectural sharpness, framing the bodice with precision and edge. The silhouette was lean but not severe, allowing movement while maintaining form. While the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the craftsmanship suggests a label fluent in modern romanticism—perhaps Iris van Herpen or a custom piece from a rising European atelier.

Sophia Di Martino’s red carpet look was a study in tactile minimalism—black-on-black textures, a sculptural belt, and just enough attitude to keep it interesting.
There’s a particular kind of red carpet appearance that doesn’t rely on sparkle or volume—it leans into texture, silhouette, and presence. At the premiere of Broken English during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Sophia Di Martino delivered exactly that: a look that felt like a quiet rebellion against over-styling.
In a sea of gowns and glitter, Di Martino’s two-piece black ensemble stood out for its restraint—and its refusal to play by traditional red carpet rules.
The cropped top, cut with three-quarter sleeves, was rendered in a subtly textured black fabric that caught the light without shouting. Paired with high-waisted bottoms—likely a skirt or tailored trousers—the look was cinched at the waist with a belt featuring a bold circular buckle. The silhouette was clean, almost utilitarian, but the texture gave it depth. It was the kind of outfit that reads differently depending on the angle, the lighting, the mood. While the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the aesthetic suggests a label like The Row or Stella McCartney—brands that understand how to make minimalism feel rich.
Di Martino kept accessories tight and intentional: a gold wristwatch added a hint of polish, while a pair of sunglasses (held, not worn) suggested a touch of off-duty cool. No earrings, no necklace, no clutch. Just the essentials, styled with precision.
Sylvia Hoeks leaned into quiet sensuality—her white lace ensemble at the Venice Film Festival felt like a love letter to pared-down elegance, minus the fuss.
There’s a particular kind of fashion moment that doesn’t need a red carpet to resonate. At the Mother photocall during the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Sylvia Hoeks proved that simplicity, when done right, can be just as arresting as couture theatrics.
In a sea of maximalist statements and high-drama gowns, Hoeks stepped forward in something refreshingly restrained—a white lace two-piece that whispered rather than shouted. And yet, it lingered.
Her sleeveless crop top and matching skirt were cut from intricate floral lace, the kind that feels both romantic and modern depending on the wearer’s intent. On Hoeks, it read as confident and unbothered. The silhouette was clean: no ruffles, no volume, just a straight-line crop and a skirt that skimmed rather than clung. The lace itself—likely cotton or a delicate blend—offered texture without weight, letting the pattern do the talking. While the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the look echoed the minimalist ethos of brands like Chloé or Self-Portrait, where craftsmanship meets clarity.
