"Since Italy is home to such legendary designers as Giorgio Armani, Miuccia Prada, and Gianni and Donatella Versace, part of the opening ceremony was dedicated to Milan being one of the fashion capitals of the world. Dozens of models strutted across the stage in impeccable red, white, and green Armani suits, before revealing the Main Model, who wore a custom Armani Privé dress, not a suit, and carried the Italian flag."
"Ceretti, who was born and raised 90 minutes outside Milan, is also an accomplished, well, model, having walked for Dior, Celine, and Louis Vuitton, and been the face of campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Bulgari, Givency, Fendi, and Prada. She appeared on the cover of American Vogue for the first time in 2017, when she was 18, and has since appeared on the cover of 24 international versions of Vogue."
The Milan Cortina 2026 opening ceremony featured theatrical elements such as giant bobble-heads of Italian composers, dancing espresso pots, a twirling Cupid, and performances by Mariah Carey and Charlize Theron. A fashion segment celebrated Milan’s status as a fashion capital with dozens of models in red, white, and green Armani suits. The Main Model, Vittoria Ceretti, carried the Italian flag wearing a custom Armani Privé dress before handing it to the Carabinieri honour guard, the Corazzieri. Ceretti has walked for Dior, Celine, and Louis Vuitton, fronted campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana, Bulgari, Givency, Fendi, and Prada, and appeared on 24 international Vogue covers.
