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.
