Dua Lipa arrived at the opening night of La Traviata at Milan's Teatro alla Scala on Saturday, September 19, in an Ashi Studio couture gown that was on the Paris runway just over two months earlier. The black, semi-sheer dress comes from the Saudi label's Fall 2026 haute couture collection, where it was shown as Look 13. It was the right kind of dress for one of opera's most closely watched evenings.
The Ashi Studio gown is close-fitting, with a high neckline, short cap sleeves and a slight train. Its sheer organza base is covered in dense black embellishment. The detail that defines it sits on one shoulder, where feathers, organza and twisting, vine-like forms gather in an asymmetrical cluster. Some fashion outlets compared it to a thorn bush.
