Italian beauty goes beyond looks: It’s a lifestyle and state of being. “Italian beauty is deeply tied to identity, uniqueness, and the art of being,” writes Vogue Italia’s Veronica Cristino. “Not to mention a healthy dose of drama and self-deprecating humour.”
Tonight Vogue World: Milano 2026 holds court at the city’s Galleria, paying homage to the great fashion capital and its long history of craftsmanship and innovation. As Vogue World: Milano’s creative director, Juan Costa Paz, said of tonight’s festivities, “Italians have always been the leaders of craft.”
Along with the fashion spectacle of archival pieces and ornate designs—told in five acts to highlight the most important moments in Italian fashion history—we are blessed with beauty looks that define the spirit of la dolce vita.
And those in the crowd are also giving major Italian beauty inspo. Italian actor Greta Ferro wears a classic bold red lip and slicked-back hairdo. Singer Levante wears a glam and voluminous Italian bob. And only Italian icon Monica Bellucci could look as cool with just sunglasses and fringe. Below, here is how our favourite celebs channelled Italian-girl beauty. Ciao bella, indeed.
