Gigi Hadid opened the runway at Vogue World: Milano on September 22 in a Valentino Haute Couture gown from the house's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The period-inspired design, created by Alessandro Michele, was among the first couture pieces he designed after becoming Valentino's creative director and was originally presented in Paris in January 2025.
The look placed Hadid at the center of the show's opening celebration of Renaissance-inspired craftsmanship. Vogue's coverage identified the gown as look 17 from Valentino's Spring 2025 Haute Couture collection, with its elaborate construction providing the opening statement for a runway that explored different chapters of Italian fashion.
