Hunter Schafer Gets Ready for Vogue World: Milano in a New Behind-the-Scenes Video

Vogue has released a new episode of its "Last Looks" series following Hunter Schafer as she got ready for Vogue World: Milano, the fifth edition of the traveling event that landed in Italy for the first time on September 22. The behind-the-scenes video, posted to Vogue's YouTube channel, shows the "Euphoria" actor and model preparing for the evening with Prada, the Milanese house she has represented as a brand ambassador since 2021.

Vogue World: Milano took over the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the 19th-century glass-domed arcade that sits between the Duomo and Teatro alla Scala, on the opening day of Milan Fashion Week. Built around the theme "Where the Future Is Made by the Hand," the show explored the relationship between Italian handcraft traditions and artificial intelligence, with contributions from major Italian houses including Prada, Armani, Versace, Ferragamo and Gucci. The event also raised funds for the redevelopment of the Quarto Oggiaro library in northwestern Milan.

Vogue's "Last Looks" format has become a reliable pre-show ritual for the outlet, offering a look at how its subjects approach hair, makeup and dressing before a major red carpet moment, and Schafer's installment continues that tradition ahead of one of the year's most closely watched fashion events. For Schafer, the Prada partnership featured in the video is a familiar one. Since becoming a brand ambassador in 2021, she has walked in Prada's shows and appeared in its campaigns, and her red carpet history with the label ranges from current-season pieces to archival finds pulled from past runway collections.

On the Vogue World: Milano carpet itself, Schafer wore a Prada look described by outlets covering the event as minimal-chic: a skirt paired with a top, cinched with a waistband detail. The pairing fit the pared-back, editorial sensibility Schafer and her longtime stylist, Dara Allen, have leaned into for recent appearances, favoring clean lines and a restrained color palette over the more avant-garde, sculptural silhouettes that have also defined her red carpet history.

The getting-ready video arrives as Vogue World: Milano continues to generate coverage across the fashion press, with the event drawing a cross-section of models, actors, musicians and athletes to the Galleria for a five-act presentation staged as part runway, part performance. Cardi B, Jennifer Lopez, Dakota Johnson, Jason Momoa and Heidi Klum were among the other attendees photographed on the carpet, each dressed by a different Italian house for the occasion.

For Schafer specifically, the Vogue World appearance extends a run of high-profile Prada moments this year, following looks at the 2025 Met Gala and elsewhere that have kept her closely associated with the house's aesthetic. The "Last Looks" video gives fans a rare unfiltered view of that preparation process, a format that tends to perform well with readers who follow the styling and beauty decisions behind a red carpet look as closely as the finished result.

Vogue World's Milan stop marks the first time the event has traveled to Italy since Anna Wintour launched the format in 2022, following previous editions in New York, London, Paris and Hollywood. The Milan program was broadcast live, positioning Vogue World: Milano, and the individual preparation videos tied to it, as a continuing source of search interest and social engagement in the days following the event.
