A Vision in White: Vittoria Ceretti Stuns at Balenciaga’s Paris Show
As Paris Fashion Week sailed into its final day, Balenciaga creative director Demna Gvasalia staged a dramatic finale on Sunday evening that captivated the front row. And leading the striking gothic-inspired procession down the runway was none other than rising supermodel and Leonardo DiCaprio’s paramour, Vittoria Ceretti.
The 25-year-old Italian beauty commanded attention in a voluminous white coatdress lavishly trimmed with tiers of frothy fabric that swayed gracefully with every step. Accented by a slim leather belt and oversized floppy bow, the elaborate confection oozed high drama right out of a Tim Burton film. Vittoria Ceretti wore a huge white frilly coat.
Ceretti’s striking ensemble was offset by razor-sharp black stilettos and sheer black tights, playing up the darkly romantic mood. Her raven lengths were left long and loose in sharp contrast to the couture-like coat. Though the structured shoulders and nipped waist lent the look a toughened edge, the soft ruffles and Ceretti’s doll-like visage maintained an air of ethereal innocence.
Having embarked on her meteoric modeling career at the tender age of 14, Ceretti has rapidly risen to prominence on international runways and in advertising campaigns for top luxury brands. The Italian beauty has appeared in shows and ads for Alexander McQueen, Versace, Miu Miu, Chanel, Fendi and Burberry among others and currently fronts campaigns for Max Mara and Disaronno wearing chic eveningwear.
Over the past year, Ceretti has increasingly captured attention for her budding relationship with acclaimed actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio. The duo have been spotted canoodling across Europe, from cozy dates in Los Angeles to dancing closely at a club in Ibiza.
Sources close to DiCaprio have indicated that the notorious playboy appears to be getting serious with Ceretti, whom he affectionately refers to as his “girlfriend.” After years of globe-trotting and modelizing, it seems the 47-year-old thespian may finally be ready to settle down.
Her presence at the event underscored her status as a sought-after model in the high fashion world. Vittoria boasts a strong presence on social media, attracting 1.5 million followers on Instagram. She once tied the knot with Italian DJ Matteo Milleri. Their marriage took place in 2020, and it’s thought that she and her husband are now separated.
Ceretti’s show-stopping turn on Balenciaga’s runway serves as further proof that her star is still very much on the rise. And if Ms. Ceretti continues to captivate on the catwalk as she did today – simultaneously channeling old Hollywood drama and romantic mystique – she may well develop iconic status to rival her famous paramour’s.
