The Lido’s red carpet has always served as the premier runway for cinema’s most daring sartorial statements. But this year’s opening gala felt like an intentional turning point, as stylists and stars abandoned safe black-tie predictability in favor of high-concept sculptural tailoring.
Standing out above all was French breakout star Chantal Moreau, wearing a bespoke structural velvet gown engineered with carbon-fiber hip petals by Parisian atelier Maison Vaneau. Photographers gasped as Moreau navigated the Palazzo del Cinema stairs with effortless majesty.
Vintage preservation also dominated the night. In an era increasingly conscious of archival luxury, three prominent nominees chose museum-preserved pieces from the late 1960s, breathing vibrant contemporary life into delicate hand-sewn beads and classic silhouette cuts.
Men’s formalwear delivered equal drama: structured silk cummerbunds, emerald-cut diamond lapel brooches, and collarless jackets proved that modern Hollywood men are rewriting the rules of the traditional tuxedo.
