This year, the 82nd Venice International Film Festival became the stage for Antonio Riva Milano to showcase its artistry, bringing the Maison’s signature codes to one of cinema’s most iconic settings. Across premieres, arrivals, and exclusive events, twelve women embodied the spirit of the brand, each look revealing a different facet of its craftsmanship and vision.

At the heart of this year’s presence were Sara Croce, Virginia Varinelli, and Giulia Paglianiti, whose appearances captured the essence of Antonio Riva Milano’s contemporary couture. Sara Croce walked the red carpet in a gown of liquid black organza, its structured bustier and central slit combining architectural strength with movement. Virginia Varinelli chose a black Valenciennes lace dress embroidered with crystals, layered over a long lace skirt and finished with a sculptural shoulder detail, while Giulia Paglianiti’s soft blush mermaid gown, delicately embroidered and draped at the hips, reflected a quiet sensuality and refined grace.

Cristina Chiabotto chose lilac tones in an embroidered tulle dress with long glove sleeves, and Martina Luchena wore mikado with bold off-shoulder sculpting.
